A third time?

[AMDG]

Heard that President Obama has omitted the Creator (that men have inalienable rights from their Creator) when quoting from the Declaration yet again? For Pete's sake, why would he do that yet again after the furor from the last two times he did it? This is weird.

For those wondering where I got this:

Remarks by the President at a DSCC Dinner in Rockville, Maryland

“Most of us here came from someplace else -- or our parents came from someplace else, or our grandparents, our great grandparents came from someplace else. And they were inspired by a particular idea, this idea of America. As wonderful as the land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire, and said, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed withcertain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’”

Bold and underlining are my own. Oops, guess he just forgot “by their Creator?” I’m not “sure“, but the quote was taken from a transcript. According to the Declaration of Independence penned by our forefathers the words are supposed to read as such: 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. This gem is dated for the 19 of October, 2010.
　
Unfortunately, I can’t post links yet. I'm going to send the link via PM to the OP - maybe that way the link can be posted to all.

I’ll do a bit more digging and see what bulbs I turn up.

Because he's doesn't believe in the Creator.

It's sad what Obama is doing to your beautiful country... I don't know what you think?

 

[Rhamiel]

Because he's doesn't believe in the Creator.

possible
could just be that he is fairly secular
many people are are of the mindset that religion is a personal thing and in public things like human rights and stuff like that religion has no place

now I am not of this mindset and i think that puts human rights on shaky ground

but there are many nominal christians who think like this...

from what I hear Mr.Obama only started going to church when he wanted to get into politics, not saying that proves anything but it looks shady

More white house press release fun:

“But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together -- what made us all Americans -- was not a matter of blood, it wasn’t a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

Bold and underlining are my own. Umm, doesn’t match up to “endowed by their Creator“ (Declaration of Independence).

This transcript was released by the press secretary for the white house on the 15 of September, 2010.

Again, I’ll pass the link along to the OP so that all might see.

He not only fully ignores the Forefathers of this country who wrote that - but also and most importantly - the Creator.

I guess if he is intent on being ashamed of the Lord, this may come full circle if he isnt careful...
Thats what scriptures say.

He is remaking the Declaration of Independence...
Just as he is remaking the Constitution to suit his own agenda.

Again we have Alicia to thank for the September 15 link:
Remarks by the President at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's 33rd Annual Awards Gala | The White House

And you're right Warrior Angel, he does seem to be remaking the Declaration of Independence over. (And since our Constitution is built on the Declaration, that seems a problem to me. Three times does seem a bit more than just an accident. BTW, if we have any rights at all, they must come from our Creator, so just who does he think endows man with those inalienable rights, if not the Creator?)

The article you posted was referring to the 2nd time. Never the less. I believe it to be intentional.

These type of things are going to continue in our society. Christianity is looked down upon by the "Liberal elite" Have you ever heard Bill Marr speak about Christians? How about the comment Obama made referring to rural folks as" Clinging to guns and religion" From the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Your post reminds me of:

Jeremiah 17:9-10
The heart is more devious than any other thing, perverse too: who can pierce its secrets? I, the Lord, search to the heart, I probe the loins, to give each man what his conduct and his actions deserve.

If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. 19If you belonged to the world,* the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world—therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you, “Servants* are not greater than their master.” If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

Good thing communism isn't relevant to this discussion.

As president, Obama represents believers and athiest. We have inalianable rights whether you believe in God or not, which is why he may have been leaving out the reference to the creator.

from what I hear Mr.Obama only started going to church when he wanted to get into politics, not saying that proves anything but it looks shady

Actually, he had been going to Church for 20 years before he ran for president.

He also operated the Community outreach organization from a Catholic Church in Chicago.

Considering the fact that he graduated in the top of his class from Harvard Law, and law firms from all over the US were trying to recruit him with huge salary offers, and instead he took the low paying job working for an organization that serves the poor, he behaves more Christ-like than those who attack him for his religious beliefs. In fact, in comparison, such people are what are known as, hypocrites.

If we have rights and they are inalienable, then where'd we get them? Just someone saying so? From the government? Then those rights can't be inalienable.

the fact that he graduated in the top of his class from Harvard Law

Really? How do we know? Just his word? Remember, he had all his records sealed. It was the first thing he did once elected.

and law firms from all over the US were trying to recruit him with huge salary offers

And we know this, how? Oh, right, he said so and politicians never misinform us or "gild the lily" when they are trying to be elected to an office.




But this is about how three times now, the Declaration of Independence has been misquoted (purposely?) It's not about how he was elected or even how Christian may appear to some.
