President Obama wants to take Bibles to swear in, Abraham Lincoln's and Martin Luther kings Bible. Some people believe he is doing this because of combining both national races he has. I have nothing against this and actually think it is a good idea. Both were political leaders and very inspirational ones at that.

I think swearing in two bibles is awesome! And for the reason behind this is a good one too! I think the more Bibles you swear on the more meaningful you will be to what you say. I wonder if they keep the bibles that the presidents swear on, on display in the White House, like Lincoln's.
I think this is a smart idea. If you swear on something that has more of a value to you, you would be less likely to go against what you swore.
