So apparently Obama will be using Lincoln's Bible when he takes the oath of office... Sigh, excuse me a moment while I pop a couple of Excedrin... Could this man be more narcissistic? He makes Narcissus look like a humble man. Lincoln's Bible? What makes him think he deserves to use it? What makes him think he is on any sort of level even approaching that of Lincoln? Sure, he is the first, mostly all Black President, and that is certainly an accomplishment for him, and for the Civil Rights movement, but really? Lincoln's Bible? Naw, that's not right. Before Obama goes placing himself on the same plane as Lincoln, he needs to accomplish something truly monumental, course changing, and era defining, like say, freeing the slaves, or uniting a country during a civil war.
Obama chooses Lincoln's Bible for inauguration:
WASHINGTON — 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.
"President-elect Obama is deeply honored that the Library of Congress has made the Lincoln Bible available for use during his swearing-in," Presidential Inaugural Committee Executive Director Emmett Beliveau said in a statement Tuesday.
Obama is also tracing the train route that Lincoln took and holding a welcome event at the Lincoln Memorial ahead of his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Because he was elected President of the United States, and he’s a human being, that’s why he deserves to use it.
You people using a Holy Book to demean a person you hate is about as non-Christian an attitude as I can think of.
Hypocrisy lives.
It was pretty awful, I grant you. Worse yet, I haven't been drinking.
In any case I just meant that Obama has a big ego.
YOU need to get a grip! He's not my PRESIDENT, he's some asshole thug that bought his way into the WH to implement a specific agenda, one most Americas don't want and the koolaid drinkers don't have a clue about.
By the way, he isn't in yet, and who knows how long he will remain in if he gets there. With his past and more coming out each day I would be shocked if he makes it past the first year.
MSM may hide things but there are PI’s and citizens, millions of them, putting the pieces of the BO puzzle together.
"I say to you, before Abraham [Lincoln] was, I am."

Cheers!
...oh, and Merry Christmas.
Thank you for your opinion, oh cloacally-gifted one !!
I’m sure you WOULD celebrate...but, of course, would never (wink-wink) condone such an act.
There is no shortage of terrorists, whackos,and their enablers.
The man is a lying perjurer. Taking an oath means zero to the fraudster. Image is everything. A con makes a show to hide the criminality.
This may be the only time he puts his hand on a Christian Bible
Symbolism is a common reason for doing things at inaugurations,,he is the first elected black man, of course he wants Lincoln’s Bible there.
I don’t like the man but he is President and no amount of yelling and complaining can change that.
I don’t like to see us, the loyal opposition, looking as nutty as the left wing nutjobs.
Speaking of which,Polarik, when are you going to take off your cloak of invisibility ?? (Yes-yes: I know. They’re out to get you. Oooh-Oooh !)

The wink wink is just too cute. I’ve never even had a parking ticket asshole. Nobody needs to enable whackos and terrorists. Kiss my as*. Guess you wouldn’t want to attend a celebration party? Also guess you don’t know sarcasm when you see it. STUPID liberal
LMAO!!
Most presidents use their family bible. He must not have one.

How has this idiot, genefromjersey, avoided the ZOT for so long is beyond me
What an insult to Lincoln (topic of thread).
It would take a pathological Narcissist like Obama to knowingly devalue such integrity.
I guess they couldn’t find the Eldorado Bible.
Do you suppose I’ve avoided being ZOTTED because I’m a genuine conservative, and not a radical wingnut ?
As you can see, I discussed this matter with my friend,who is from the other side of the political fence. He was a bit alarmed by the rhetoric -”cutesey” as it was.
I,on the other hand, have slept on the matter,and have decided some of the stuff I’m reading is mere bad-mannered virtual flatulence.
Our side lost the election. That does not mean we have to lose our souls as well.
