Incoming presidents raise their right hand and hold the other on this?
The Holy Bible. Today (January 20, 2009), President Obama was sworn in with his hand on the same bible used at the inauguration of President Lincoln.
Who first lady was the first to hold the bible in the inauguration?
It's normally the spouse of the future President, that is, Michelle Obama in this case. It's not clear yet, but the security test was made with this arrangement and it is custom. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/31/AR2008123103082.html See the photo at http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-01-11-obama-rehersal_N.htm
What page is the Bible open to when the president swears on oath?
None. When Barack Obama put his hand on the Bible, the book was closed.

Barack Obama had his hand on Abraham Lincoln's Bible at both of his inaugurations, and in 2013 he also had his hand on a Bible that was owned by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
What page is the name Obama in the Bible?
The name Obama is not found anywhere in the bible.
Was a book used to administer the oath for Barack Hussein Obama?
The bible is the book on which the president keeps his left hand and takes the oath.
Will obama place his hand on the bible during the inauguration?
Yes, of course. Barack Obama has always been sworn in using a Bible (Old and New Testament). There is no reason to believe he would do anything different from what he has always done since first getting into politics.
Does the bible say let Obama time in office be short?
The last book of the Bible was completed in the year 96 C.E. The Bible does not mention Obama. Barack Obama was born in 1961.
Did Obama Mock the Bible?
President Obama has never made fun of the Bible; this is an internet myth, spread by his political opponents, and by conservative Christians who disagree with his views. As a moderate, Mr. Obama may not interpret every verse the same way that a conservative would, but that does not mean he has ever made fun of the Bible, nor has he made fun of anyone's religion.
Who held the bible for Barack Obama's oath of office?
Michelle Obama
