The appearance of two Bibles stacked on top of each other caused some conspiracy-minded conservatives to speculate whether one of the books was actually a Koran (via @DUMBCEPTION):
Though there is no constitutional requirement for the use of a Bible during the swearing-in, presidents have traditionally used Bibles for the ceremony, choosing a volume with personal or historical significance. In 2009, President Obama became the first President sworn in using the Lincoln Bible since its initial use in 1861.
