Barack Obama to Swear into Office on Homosexual Atheist's Bible
Well, it seems to be official. Barack Obama will be taking the Oath of Office on January 20, 2009, with his right hand planted firmly on the Bible owned by a man who neither believed in a personal god nor preferred the company of women in the bedroom.
That's right. He somehow managed to score the same Bible on which fellow Illinoisiate Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as president…
"President-elect Obama is deeply honored that the Library of Congress has made the Lincoln Bible available for use during his swearing-in," said Presidential Inaugural Committee Executive Director Emmett Beliveau.
"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."
Such a thumbing of the nose at all the good old fashioned family values on which this country was founded will almost certainly come as a blow to all the decent Americans who were hoping that anti-gay rights Christian Pastor Rick Warren's prayer at the inauguration was a signal to their ranks that he would be continuing the current administration's policy of coddling them.
No such luck. By deliberately choosing the Bible of Abraham Lincoln — a man who, if not an absolute homosexual, certainly had strong homosexual leanings, and who believed in neither the Bible nor a personal god — Obama seems to be giving aid and comfort to the enemies of American values.
The day seems to belong to the degenerate heathen sodomites.
Update: Reading through the comments to this post, it occurs to me that yet another tired old stereotype has now been laid to rest…
Liberals are no better at interpreting satire than conservatives are.
Cold, empty, meaningless universe bless America.

WeAmericans (most of us) are fair and reasonable people.
Sadly, America also has a collection of professional "I want to be offended" small minds with big mouths that the Press salivates over…
The rest of us understand that we have a mountain of real challenges and, thankfully, a president elect with both the supple well trained mind and the courage to select the best this nation has to offer (no more filling the administration with unqualified political operatives) to help us all through these difficult times.
SORRY, but NO, selecting a cross section of American's is NOT "thumbing his nose", but it does supply perfectly reasonable situations for the perpetually offended to blather on.. and on .. and on ..
First Pastor Rick …. Sorry to the professionally offended …. but Obama has made it clear from the start that he considers marriage a man and woman… So now, NOT a surprise and not a stick in the eeye. Just consistent honesty
Now … The bible used by Lincoln's ceremony is somehow tainted? By it's owner?
GET A LIFE! The owner of a holy book does not alter the book itself.
I am Agnostic …. Should I be morally offended …. am I having a thumb in my eye because Pastors and Bibles are used in this national ceremony?
Of course not. If other American's want this, why should I object. We all need a bit …. no …. a LOT more good natured tolerance for each other!
If we allow our eyes, minds and hearts to open, SURPRISE, we will find more to like about each other than to disagree on.
Obama IS going to be our President, and we couldn't be luckier…
Wish him well….. his destiny is ours as well…
Barack Obama is bringing MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" back into vogue.
@Don McLaughlin: Yeah, and I guess we'll just have to write it off as bitter irony Obama picked a gay president's Bible to thump. Obama knows Lincoln's Bible has the gay bugs in it and now he's flaunting it along with Rick Warren.

@Don McLaughlin haha you called Mr. Obama supple
I think you are one of the most ignorant BLOGERS I have ever seen. Because Of People Like You – I FEEL there should be Internet Police – And they should kick you off the internet and break your computer!
Oh…. My…. God…. (your god actually, but that's another matter.) How could he do such a thing? Imagine, using a Bible with so much history tied to it, on such a historic day.
This article should be filed under comedy instead of politics. Dim-witted Republican hate-mongers say the funniest things.
what a wingnut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gay-braham lincoln anyone?
Can't you see that this is a satire? It's Comedy Central after all!
