Obama drops 'Creator' from Declaration quote

I realize that WorldNetDaily tends to wax hysterical over anything it can, and writes everything at SCREAM!!!!! level. And if it was just this one time, well, even Jove nods, and anyone can make a mistake. But Obama has a deeply entrenched habit of doing this sort of thing over and over and over, and

AGGGH. Sometimes, I find it hard to believe he may be as bad as some think he is, I mean, that he really doesn't understand this country, or like it. I mean, our foundations - but then, something like this pops up, and I realize again - it must be true. I don't think we have ever had a president with quite that problem. Being opposed or not understanding, many of America's foundational principals. Not a good problem to have with a president, not at all.

I think the Democrats are finally coming to the same conclusion -- a little too late to reverse what's about to happen to them in November, however.

It's even worse that he leaves of "among these". I know that sounds minor, but it's a telling indication of the difference in attitude between express and implied rights.

Taken together with his other omission, it's just more indication that he talks a good talk, but his fundamental mindset is completely off from where the Framers were when they wrote these essential documents.

I don't see how it could be otherwise. He is utterly ignorant of our history and everything else about us, as witness, e.g., "57 states in the Union." Some analysts believe that his fixation on his father left him focused entirely on anticolonialism of the sort that existed in the 1950s and 1960s, especially in Africa, a phenomenon that no longer exists and has no real relevance to the present anywhere. It would explain a lot. He's still fighting his father's battles -- in a world where anticolonialism is now irrelevant, in a nation where it was never relevant.
