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 were going to make those words live, and were 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 were 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.

In other words, the people at the low end are defective.
Gotta work on that. If I am gonna walk the nerdy walk, I gotta talk the nerdy talk.
He doen’t mention it because he thinks it is redundant to talk about ones self. I am surprised he hasn’t changed it from Creator to I or me yet.
Obama needs to exercise his inalienable right to move out of government housing.
He is so arrogant.
The "we" -- Obama,czars, Kagan, progressives,
“I, uh, have been criticized for referring to myself too many times so, uh I have, er, omitted the creator reference from my remarks so it doesn’t happen again. You are now free to worship me around the country.”
He reportedly has written about his opposition to the language in the Constitution as well.
It is not an “accident”, it is a redacting of one of our founding documents.
He’s here to toss it on the scrap pile of history.
“The same people that you meet going up are the same people that you meet going down...”
I’m still waiting for the day that someone figures out that the Declaration of Independence uses unalienable, not inalienable.
As far as BO is concerned, rights come from the government; natural law has no application.
On the contrary - I think he gets it completely. If our rights come from either our Creator or from our nature, then they are truly "inalienable". This means that our rights cannot be taken away and that they precede any form of social organization.
To collectivists generally (and Obama specifically), rights come from the government, meaning they are subject to the will, intentions and needs of others. I believe Obama's continued use of the word "inalienable" is gratuitous; he either does not understand what it truly means, or more likely uses it for rhetorical effect.
I know one thing for sure, my rights don’t come from an illegal alien, Barry.
Obama doesn’t believe we have rights.
There’s nothing in Islam that recognizes the concept.
This is just part of the marketing message his staff provides for him.
Yes. The anti-Christ would even give sermons in a Church, if he thought it would help him corrupt some more souls.
When the anti-Christ comes, it won't so much be his power, as the evil he can stir up in lost souls, that will cause the most damage.
The reason he doesn’t say GOD is because to Obama, GOD is the Christian name.
He would use ALLAH in it’s place, but he knows the public would react. So... he just leaves it out.
Yes he does. Leaving GOD out, and substituting 'inalienable' was no mistake.
He doesn’t believe the term “inalienable” either -
because he believes that the “smart people” should be able to abrogate others’ rights at will if it serves “the greater good”.
This guy really is a piece of work. You can always count on Barry to do or say the wrong thing.
Stand up and shout it out! “Creator!”
And the next time obozo or any of his ilk lies, (you'll have plenty of opportunities here), WHO will it be that stands up and shouts out, “YOU LIE!”
Get in their faces.
