So what if I'm a white person typing to a white person. There's still a difference. He's a redneck and I'm not. He probably watches NASCAR.

Actually, I'm not a redneck at all. I don't really watch NASCAR but I will gladly go to a race every once in a while. They are pretty fun. You don't know me from Adam so let's not start the stereotyping game.
Please though. Enlighten me on how I am a racist. You just opened that bag so why don't you back yourself up.
I believe I have already stated my feelings pertaining to the color of his skin and what I think about the fact that he is the first to represent his race in the White House.

Where does all the money that the vendors make off of Obama apparel and thongs (as in panties) go?
And, this is a serious question, why did they refer to him as Barack H. Obama while being sworn in? Why leave out the middle name?

Same reason why when they introduced Bush Sr/Jr today they did the same.

Yeah but being sworn in, don't they use the complete name? Baby Georgey didn't get sworn in as George W. Bush.

So......?
Please don't start that "Hussein" bullshit again, it really just invalidates any argument you are about to have in that direction.

Actually I'm not starting an argument. I want to know why they said H. instead of Hussein.

Just don't ask.
Even IF you aren't looking to start an argument it's going to get you a sideways look.
I am trying to be nice and back off from saying 'xenophobe' at this point...let's walk away from this shall we?

Not towards a common cause unless security required all vendors be registered and licensed.

I don't know but I believe he said his middle name during the swearing in.

Same reason why don't they call him "George Walker Bush" . . . It's pretty common. Ulysses S. Grant, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy . . . that's kind of just the nomenclature. NOTE: Just saw you were referring to the actual swearing-in ceremony, not the general acknowledgment - he definitely said Hussein there, I read poorly.

For all the times you've tried to get others to check citations for you instead of you presenting, this is totally LOL, as the kids say.

Well I know that. I meant during the SWEARING IN on the Bible. (Which I actually thought was pretty cool that they used Lincoln's.)
Religious question... not pertaining to Obama. If a non-Christian/Protestant person were to be elected, would they still swear on the Bible, to God? What if a Muslim president were elected? Or Jewish? Or Atheist? Wiccan?

I can see a Jewish president before a Muslim president. I definitely can't see an Atheist or Wiccan president.
To answer your question, that may be based on two things:
Is swearing in on the Bible a written/required part of the process?
Is it the Bible as literature or the Bible as a religious document? What do they do in a court of law where the person is Muslim, etc. and there is swearing on the Bible?
