Interesting you should mention the Washington Monument. George Washington was a Mason, and at the dedication of the obelisk, a symbol of Masonry, "Masonic ceremonies and addresses" were given. You can see this part of the plaque at

DaveH, do obelisks appear anywhere in Mormon symbology or lore? I do not recall reading that the symbol is used by Mormons.

I hate to break it to you, but it appears that this is incorrect. Before the inauguration, he planned to use the nine-pound "so-called "Washington Bible," but it appears his hand was on a smaller Bible that was reportedly the Bush family Bible. Apparently Laura wanted something lighter.
However, he WAS facing the phallic Washington Monument, though. Does that count?
By the way, a Masonic Bible is a standard KJV.

G.W. was sworn in on a Masonic Bible, not the one that you read.
. You have a computer. You can choose to use it, or you can
choose to live in your own little world where people are just what they
seem to be. It won't make much difference either way. Our
opinion is not that important.
