Is President Jimmy Carter a Freemason?
The following 14 US Presidents were Freemasons: George Washington James Monroe Andrew Jackson James Polk James Buchanan Andrew Johnson James Garfield William McKinley Theodore Roosevelt Howard Taft Warren Harding Franklin Roosevelt Harry Truman Gerald Ford Some confusion has arisen about President Carter because he took his oath of office on the George Washington Bible which belongs to St. Johns Lodge in New York City. Because the Bible belonged to a Masonic Lodge many writers assumed he was a Freemason. This Bible was first used on April 30, 1789, by the Grand Master of the Masons in New York, to administer the oath of office to George Washington, the first president. Other presidents who took their oath of office with this Bible are Warren G. Harding, Dwight D. Eisenhower and George W. Bush. Lyndon B. Johnson was initiated on October 30, 1937 in Johnson City Lodge No. 561, at Johnson City, Texas, but completed only the Entered Apprentice, or first, of the three Masonic degrees. For this reason, he is a Brother of all Freemason's in every way. Many think that if a Mason is not a Master Mason (3rd Degree) then he is not a Mason, this is false. When we leave this life we all where the Apprentice Apron.

What bible-oth did Obama read?
I assume you're asking about the Presidential Oath of Office he read on Tuesday. What he read was not actually FROM the bible, his oath is sworn with his hand ON the bible (in his case, Abraham Lincoln's bible) so he is taking the oath "under the eyes of god" or something like that. Basically it's a sin to lie with your hand on the bible. However, the oath itself is from Article II, Section I from the U.s. Constitution.

The custom was started by Washington and most of them laid their hand on a Bible while taking the oath. Three exceptions have been noted - T. Roosevelt raised his hand in the air while taking the oath,although I think a Bible was present. Coolidge was sworn in by father at home and did not put his hand on a Bible even though one was on a nearby table. Lyndon Johnson, who had an emergency swear-in in a plane, laid his hand on a book which turned out to be a Catholic prayer book instead of a Bible.
