  President Barack Obama is planning a symbolic twist during his oath of office for his second term. The president will place his hand not on one Bible, but two.

  He'll use one owned by Abraham Lincoln and one owned by Martin Luther King, Jr.

  The inclusion of King's Bible is significant because the inauguration (public swearing-in at the Capitol) falls on Monday, Jan. 21. The day America will pause to honor the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who would have been 84 years old on Jan. 17, 2013.

  The Faith and Action building, which is right across the street from the Supreme Court, is displaying an inaugural banner that reads, "We don't always agree with the president, but we always pray for him."

  Good luck President Obama in redistributing my money because there is less and less of it everyday.

  I'm going to celebrate this day by receiving government assistance and then blaming the very source of these benefits for all of my shortcomings.

  Rep. Ron Barber attended the inauguration in Washington, this is what he said,
  “I saw just a mass of who we are – a rainbow of America across the color spectrum, across the ethnic spectrum,” Barber said. “It’s who we are coming together. And I loved what the president kept saying: We the people. Because that’s really what it’s all about here.”

  I sure didn't see very much "diversity" in the audience ...did you?

  I did love the video going around showing Michelle Obama being her "First Diva" self and rolling her eyes as she was stuffing her face at breakfast sitting between President Obama and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. Like a petulant child, she kept on making "faces" at whatever Speaker Boehner was saying to the President.

  Don't believe me...go on ...YouTube..."Michelle Obama Rolling Her Eyes"...and the video(s) will be displayed.

  President Obama put his hand on Bibles? Perish the thought. What happen to the strict ordinance of seperation of church and state we hear so often on these pages? You know, how we now live in an entirely secular world and that anyone who (gasp) believes in God is outdated. Guess those commenters may have to go back to the echo chamber and see what George Soros and Moveon.org wants them to think now. I mean how can the President make such a misstep on such a grand stage? To the rest of us, we realize it is business as usual- God is great.
