In an attempt to smear Barack Obama it has been reported that he swore in on a Qur'an. This has been part of a larger attempt to demonize Obama among those who fear Muslims. The story is a complete fabrication.

Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison is the congressman who swore in on the Qur'an. Barack Obama is a Christian, and he took the Oath of Office on a Bible. During his presidential inauguration, he swore in on The Bible that Abraham Lincoln used for his first inauguration in 1861.

Did Obama plan to send copies of the Quran to people working in government jobs?

I cannot find anything about this in the news. However, Obama is not Muslim and there would be no reason for him to send copies of the Quran. By the way, in 2006 a senator (not Obama) did pose with a copy of Thomas Jefferson's Quran. This was after being sworn in using a Bible.
