Obama Again Omits ‘Creator’ When Speaking of ‘Inalienable Rights’
CNSnews ^ | September 27, 2010 | Terence P. Jeffrey

Just seven days after he sparked controversy by omitting the word “Creator” when he closely paraphrased the passage from the Declaration of Independence that says all men “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,” President Barack Obama again omitted the Creator when speaking about the “inalienable rights” that “everybody is endowed with.”

This time the president was speaking at a Sept. 22 fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, and his reference to “inalienable rights” was not as close a paraphrasing of the Declaration as it had been the week before.

"And what was sustaining us was that sense that, that North Star, that sense that, you know what, if we stay true to our values, if we believe that all people are created equal and everybody is endowed with certain inalienable rights and we’re going to make those words live, and we’re going to give everybody opportunity, everybody a ladder into the middle class, every child able to go as far as their dreams will take them--if we stay true to that, then we’re going to be able to maintain the energy and the focus, the fight, the gumption to get stuff done,”
Obama said at the DCCC/DSCC event, according to the transcript posted by the White House.

There’s a reason for that. If you get him to say “Creator” he gets whisked back to that Bizarro Dimension from whence he came. (ala Superman and Mr. Kwiksilpritchlikwhatever).

Including Creator would assume that he both knows what the Declaration says and that he agrees that those rights flow from God.

Given those two circumstances, why would we assume he would include Creator? He clearly doesn’t believe one or both of them.

who will make clear to obama that his beliefs do not trump our values? His refusal to say the word “Creator” is the kind of childish petulance you can expect from a narcicist who hates this country.

How is it that this closet muslim insults our beliefs while we tolerate theirs?

Unfortunately I suspect this guy will go around forever, gracelessly unemployed, telling us for 30 years how he was right and the rest of us were all wrong.

“...we’re going to give everybody opportunity...”

This is typical Dem posturing that contradicts the concept of natural rights. We cannot give what God has already given.

He really misses the whole point doesn’t he? That whole natural rights argument just escapes him - the so-called ‘law professor.’

But he still used the word “endowed”, which presumes that those rights don’t just exist within us. He’s not walking the tightrope very well.
