The nation's only Catholic president to date, John F. Kennedy, used his family's Douay Version of The Bible. The 1850 edition was brought by his Fitzgerald ancestors from Ireland, according to the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. That Bible, a massive tome now on display at the library, was kept current with records of family births through the time of Kennedy's presidency.

Barack Obama used the Lincoln Bible for his first inauguration in 2009 and for his second inauguration in 2013. The Lincoln Bible is a historic Bible that belonged to Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.
Yes Abraham Lincoln reached Washington, D.C. for his inauguration on March 4, 1861. His belongings, included his bible,
I thought he had audio tape version written by Helen Thomas and Kitty Kelly
It was last used by George H. W. Bush. His son George W. Bush wanted to use it as well but could not because of the bad weather the day of his first inauguration.
The day of the inaguration is going to be a security nightmare
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.
President-elect Barack Obama will use the same Bible at his inauguration that Abraham Lincoln used for his swearing in. Obama will be the first president since Lincoln to use that Bible, part of the collection of the Library of Congress. You mean 'has used' not 'will use' since he was inagurated on 20th January, that's 7 days ago. The Bible was the one used by Abraham Lincoln.
There is no official Seventh-day Adventist bible. Adventists are free to study from what ever bible they choose to study from and do any research into the original documents that they choose to research.
I assume you are referring to when Chief Justice Roberts read the oath incorrectly the first time, during the president's January 2009 inauguration. Just to be on the safe side, the oath was re-administered the next day; it was done in the Map Room at the White House, and no Bible was used, since it was not necessary. (The president had used a Bible the previous day, and the oath was considered valid, even if the wording was slightly out of order.)
Barack Obama will be using the same bible Abraham Lincoln used when he was sworn in as President.
It was undoubtedly the King James Version, since he was sworn in on the same Bible used by Abraham Lincoln, and back then, the King James translation was considered the standard for most Protestant Christians.
Seventh-day Adventists primarily use the King James Version of the Bible for their religious teachings and practices.
