It would be pleasant to think that using the Bible during the US Presidential Oath of Office actually means something to those who place their hand on it and swear to "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States... so help me God." But Obama, who had to repeat his swearing in ceremony after the word "faithfully" was garbled by Chief Justice John Roberts during the inauguration, did so the following day in the Map Room of the White House before a press pool and a small group of aides, and this time, the Oath was administered without the use of a Bible, insinuating to some that the Good Book was only public "eye-candy" in the first instance and also that the Oath of Barack Hussein Obama was biblically invalid.
