You are pathetic. White it is true that Hillary started the birther movement. She never got called out on it. (which is insane).
Additionally, in 2008.. Obama did NOT complete the oath of office on inauguration day because he did not say "so help me god". They re-did the oath the next day - in which he did say "so help me god" but on the 2nd oath, he didn't have his hand on the bible. Frankly, he never completed that oath the 2nd time either. In 2012, he said "so help me god" and had his hand on a book that he brought with him, not the traditional bible that every other president used. It was probably a copy of the Koran or an old Sears Catalog with leather cover.
First, that whole "Hillary started the birther thing" is BS. A minor campaign side in iowa suggested it in 2008, and he was promptly fired. The campaign never took it past that.
As for the oath of office, the constitution does not include the words "so help me God." But Obama did say them. Chief Justice Roberts messed up the order of the words which is why they repeated it.

And there is no requirement for a Bible. President Johnson took the oath on Kennedy's Catholic prayer missal.
You and your ilk will do anything to denigrate the legitimacy of Obama, and we all know why. Look at the verb of the previous sentence.
