After several misquotations and incoherent paraphrases of the Declaration of Independence, and after much alternative media scrutiny of his omissions, Obama finally gets it right:
The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
In four speeches on Friday, Saturday and Monday, Obama cited the word “Creator.” CNSNews.com, Fox News and other media outlets had reported on Obama's numerous omissions, including two last week.
Let's forgive his honest mistake. After all, the President of the United States of America's repeated misquoting of the most famous document in U.S. history is a common occurence, isn't it?
Hope and Change has no time for precision of language. Nor for an accurate reflection of our cultural heritage.
"It's Change we believe in, not God!"
