I know that having the POTUS being sworn in w/ his hand on the Bible is a symbolic gesture, etc., but IMHO that's ALL it is.

While I can't say w/110% certainty that POTUS Obama IS a Christian (at least as most of us here on BB would define a "Christian"--born-again, blood-bought, child of the Father in heaven, fellow kinsman & joint-heir w/Jesus, etc., [KJVO??!!??

]), on what he places his hand while being sworn in isn't as important to me as what he actually DOES while in office. (Remember "born-again" Pres. Carter [1977-81]?

)
