What Exactly Did Obama and John Roberts ‘Inscribe’ in the MLK Bible After Monday’s Inauguration?

Jan. 22, 2013 10:35am Billy Hallowell

During Monday’s inauguration, President Barack Obama placed his hand upon two Bibles — one that belonged to Martin Luther King Jr. and the other to Abraham Lincoln. Following the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts, at the request of King’s family, “inscribed” the civil rights hero’s copy of the Bible.

While this action has been reported by a number of outlets, what isn’t being discussed is what, exactly, was included in the messages they placed inside of the book. Considering that an inscription is completed when one writes, prints, carves, or engraves, the assumption here is that Obama and Roberts placed their signatures — and possibly some accompanying words — inside of the historical book.

“I had the great privilege that the Bible we used was his Bible and they asked for it to be inscribed,” Obama said following the event, but he offered little information surrounding what he wrote.

A Politico story that was published on Monday evening claims that the King family asked the president and Supreme Court justice to “sign” the book, but that a public official who disclosed the decision did not say what was written along with the signatures. A separate report by The Hill confirmed that Obama and Roberts signed the Bible.

For now, the mystery of what the two men wrote remains.

Odumbo probably had his fingers crossed. My mama taught me to beware of anyone that would “swear on a stack of bibles”. Its a technique to convince you that they are not lying! Of course Odumbo has lied so much that even he thinks it is true.

John Roberts is the most spineless Chief Justice in the United States history

Whatever he wrote in it, he’ll see it again when he has to explain it to the real Big Guy. Probably the only time he has ever opened one of those up to any page, and for now probably the only page he knows what it says inside. At least that is the impression I get based on the way he lives and acts.

Obama: “justice Roberts, I owe you big”.

Roberts: “Only because you have that picture of us”.

It sure would be a shock if the Obamas even have a family bible. This has been the choice of every President to take their oath on their own bible. What a phony trying to pass himself off as a Christian. The closest he has come to a bible is to put his hand on it.

He’s not worthy to even place his hand on Lincoln’s Bible.

Yes he is. Lincoln trashed the Constitution as much as obama…
—————————————-
The point I was trying to make is Obama is whipping his feet on it before he trashes it.

Obama keeps wanting to be MLK and Lincoln, but he’s closer to former Soviet and German leaders.

Unfortunately for many, having a Bible or having one’s name in a Bible (regardless of who it belonged to) will get you no closer to heaven. However, those who heed the words found in the Bible and perform the necessary ordinances and obligations set forth by God will have their names written in the Book of Life, the book that will determine who will and will not return to the presence of the Father.

This is the book in which one should seek to have their name written.

Why do so many people think MLK would of supported Obama? MLK had views TOTALLY OPPOSITE of Obama! Come on, the man created the famous quote:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Obama has been race-baiting and constantly insulting the “character” of certain classes of people yet has the b**** to actually invoke the good name of MLK! Obama would be more accurate if praised Malcom X.

The sorry sob is not worthy of putting his hand on the Bible let alone signing it. Wish both of them would have kept their filthy mitts off of it. The ruthless rat has to leave his mark everywhere!

If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today and still sttod true to his convictions, then he would probably be on Mr. Obama’s kill list!

Hey, did anyone notice the marks that were on the right side of Obama’s head were on the left side of his head on Monday? When the marks were on the right side of his head whatever he told us he did the opposite. Maybe now that the marks are on the left side of his head whatever he tells us he will do the opposite and that will make it right!
Now if you ask me what I was drinking: It was a ‘pomegranate smoothie.’

Our Father will not stand idle by and let Mr Obama mock him openly. Him swearing an oath on our Fathers word, as a means to deceive others will not go unnoticed. This could have been a really bad choice for Mr Obama, he would have been better off swearing in on a McDonnalds menu. Especially since his speech was full to the brim with support for and assimilation to philosophia based Marxism.

I would expect things will not go well for Mr Obama from this point foreword. This reminds me of Nebuchadnezzar’s Grandson who took our Fathers things out of storage and had a drunken brawl with them. The retribution for that mistake was swift and decisive. Mr Obama is playing around with powers he has no clue of when he plays with our Father. I would expect trouble to come Mr Obama’s way over this issue.

  I agree. God doesn’t take oaths lightly, especially false oaths. I would not want to be in Obama’s shoes for all the world from this point on. I actually pity him.

both barry and john wrote over each other’s names (how romantic) because, you know, they supposedly share a common bedroom proclivity. hmmm, maybe that’s what they’re blackmailing john with to not bring up that pesky natural born thing?
