I have it, on good authority, that they used the used a hardbound copy of the Joy of Cooking.
The first news article didn't mention a Bible.
Well congrats on the cosmic post of the day. Your post questioning whether O is now the 45th President was made in post #44. Well done!
I wonder if there were pictures or video taken?

Thanks, SunkenCiv and Chief Engineer. I thought the significant part of post #37 was that the President of the United States barely took a break from playing pool to repeat the Oath of Office, as if this wasn’t a big deal.
Apparently Supreme Court Justice Roberts thought it was important enough to don his robe before administering the Oath. Some rituals have meaning even when conducted in an informal setting.
For once he wasn’t shooting baskets, but then again the basketball court hasn’t been built yet at the White House. (sarcasm intended)
At least his “MOMENT” didn’t cost us 170 million and we didn’t have to borrow Lincoln’s Bible again.
Works for me.....I haven’t lost sleep over this one.
Flubbed oath. Is it legal? Should be, but just in case we should have a do-over.
***
Jonathan Turley (UVA Law Professor) said over and over again today that Obama HAD to do the do-over ...
He said there is precedence for it - Coolidge and Arthur had to do it ...
He said he had spoken to a number of well-respected constitutional experts ...
Something about when something is expressly contained with quotation marks in the Constitution, it MUST be recited as written ...
So, I guess Biden was POTUS for like 36 hours and DIDN’T know it !!!
Also, I am wondering if Obama is going to have to re-sign all of his Executive Orders that were originally signed prior to the do-over ...
Also, does the Senate have to re-confirm Cabinet Secs who were confirmed prior to the do-over ??? They were confirmed AFTER Obama originally signed the nominations on Tuesday - they could not vote prior to receiving the nominating petitions from Obama.
Gawd - I’m luvvin this ...
Ping to #89. Too good to miss.
LOL! No wonder Biden was working the crowds when he walked in the parade.
Dumb and Dumber
Bad omens for 0bama. Kind of like bats whirling around in the air, small earthquakes, shrieks of birds of prey, etc.
If the ‘Rats are as concerned about doing things according to the Constitution as you indicate, then why hasn’t Obama produced any legit evidence that he’s a natural born citizen as required by the Constitution?
LOL - I mentioned something like that yesterdy... Which name will he use to sign the Executive Orders, and Bills and such? Will he use what would appear to be his legal adoptive name of Barry Soetero, and is it legal if he signs the documents “Barack H. Obama” as no-one has found evidenced that he changed his name back after his adoption?
Inquiring minds want to know! LOL
Perhaps he should just confess and leave office.
Here’s a photo of Obama and Roberts redux.

Since they don't give a damn about that passe crap called a Constitutional contract, it doesn't matter if they don't comprehend something they don't have any regard for.
As we all know, a democrat and especially an affirmative action hired democrat cannot actually be found to be committing or to have committed a crime, so it is a moot point whether he is eligible, because the mobocracy has bowed to him and he is their Lord and master Barack Hussein Obama, president of the once great United States Constitutional Republic.
Roberts swearing in the affirmative action poseur has finalized that if and when obama is found to have been ineligible on that crusty old technicality of not actually being a natural born citizen, the mobocracy has already spoken so the old Republic is no more anyway and he cannot violate the contract of a defunct has-been Republic. Roberts placed the stamp of unconditional acceptance on the lying criminal from Chicago. It is irreversible now.
The Constitutional Republic is no more: we have been shown the chief 'justice' of the subpreme court will swear in a man without proof of his eligibility when there are grave concerns over that issue. It is astonishing to contemplate that the whole sham was carried out with the greatest contempt for the We The People side of the contract, by the party with whom We The People had the contract. And if he is eligible, the disregard for We The People demanding proof of his eligibility proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the federal authorities now rule, voiding the contract and ending We The People sovereignty.
Retaking the oath was the biggest sham piece of garbage and Roberts was made to be an even bigger fool for the obama ascendancy than he was before when he invited him for tea while issues of his eligibility were supposedly before the court. Obama cares not a whit for the Constitution nor the subpreme court (the fool Roberts has yet to figure that one out, if it even matters to the little appeaser), and we shall soon see, obama has little regard for the squabbling congress either.
No BIBLE?
Open to which recipe?
