:::::''Barack Hussein Obama is the first Muslim president of the United States, as illustrated by his many actions and comments both before and after taking the official (private) oath of office without using a Bible.'' - that is not even correct about the oath of office. Swearing on a Bible [http://www.inaugural.senate.gov/swearing-in/event/john-quincy-adams-1825 is not required], and for the first ceremony, Obama wanted to use the [http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2009/01/why_doesnt_every_president_use_the_lincoln_bible.html Lincoln] [http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/2008-12-23-inauguration-obama_N.htm Bible], but due to how the first ceremony was botched, there was a second ceremony. I could find no evidence of a Bible being used, but that is irrelevant to to the oath.

::::::Mr Schlafly, what you are saying, in effect, is that anybody can put anything up here, true or false, and we'll just let "the reader decide what to think." Is that correct? Isn't it the responsibility of the contributors and editors here to do that vetting of information rather than to put that onus on the reader? [[User:BryanF|BryanF]] 17:30, 3 January 2013 (EST)
