http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/11 ... uguration/One of the comments was this:"You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments." (RSV Exodus 20:3-6).
and this:Perhaps the swearing-in should be at the Lincoln Memorial and Hussein Obama could walk on water at the Reflecting Pool to his own inaguration? And for maximum effect, he could weat a tattered robe and crown of thorns? Just a thought.
