WASHINGTON (AP) -
When President Barack Obama takes the oath of office at his inauguration later this month, his hand will rest not only on one bible but two.
One bible was used by Abraham Lincoln and the other by Martin Luther King Jr. King's bible has particular significance since the inauguration ceremony will be on Jan. 21, the federal holiday honoring the civil rights leader.
