What did he use at his inauguration instead of the Bible?

According to Fox News, President Obama was sworn in using a Lincoln bible borrowed from the Library of Congress. There is also a story that he had a Koran with him if that is what you are asking.

Obama even says if he wins the election he will b be sworn in on the Quran Koran not the Bible?

First, President Obama never said he would be sworn in on he Koran (Qur'an); that is an internet myth. He has never been sworn in on a Muslim bible ever in his entire political career, since he has never been a Muslim. He has a Muslim-sounding name, which he inherited from his biological father, but he was mainly raised by his grandparents, who were Protestant Christians. The president has repeatedly said he considers himself a Christian, and there is no reason to doubt him. But you may be confusing him with Keith Ellison, a congressman from Minnesota who is a Muslim and is sworn in on the Koran. Mr. Obama, however, has always used a Bible (Old and New Testament): in his first presidential inauguration in 2008, he used the famous Lincoln Bible.

No. Barack Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. He swore his oath of office on a Bible. You may be thinking of Representative Keith Ellison of Minnesota, who IS a Muslim and who did take the oath of office on a copy of the Koran.


Did Barack Obama use the Bible to be sworn in as US President?
