Barack Obama to be Sworn in on Lincoln’s Bible

With less than 30 days left until his auguration, CNN has reported that President – Elect Barack Obama will be sworn in on the same bible that Abraham Lincoln used to be sworn in back in March of 1861.  The bible is currently being displayed at the Library of Congress, and will be returned after Mr. Obama becomes President Obama. In a statement released on Tuesday:

The President-elect is committed to holding an Inauguration that celebrates America’s unity, and the use of this historic Bible will provide a powerful connection to our common past and common heritage

Lincoln's bible, on display here at the Library of Congress, is the bible chosen by Barack Obama to be sworn in on.

Aside from this story showing us that Barack still loves his dramatic moments,  at least everyone can now be silenced as to what Barack Obama will swear on when he takes the oath of office.
