Obama Over Bible

More Americans mistakenly attribute a Bible verse to Barack Obama than to Scripture. Proverbs 31:8-9 says:
"You must defend those who are helpless and have no hope. Be fair and give
justice to the poor and homeless."

A Harris Interactive poll found only 13% accurately identified the Bible as the source of this verse while 16% thought it came from President Obama. 9% awarded it to the Dalai Lama, 8% named Martin Luther King Jr. as the source, 4% cited Oprah Winfrey, and 3% named U2 singer Bono. A third of respondents said they had no idea.
