POTUS Cites Wrong Founding Document

One would hope the President of the United States would know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But in last night's State of the Union Address, President Obama said:

We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….

Um, wrong founding document, Mr. President. It is in our Declaration of Independence that we read:

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.

As a Facebook friend of mine quipped, "So, does he blame the speechwriter or Bush?"

Obama is anothing but a community organizer and it shows.

[wac3rd]

He and FDR are already working on the SECOND Bill of Rights.

[9YearLurker]

Our ignorant and jejune President doesn’t know any better than to have ignorant and jejune speechwriters.

As a Facebook friend of mine quipped, "So, does he blame the speechwriter or Bush?"

Well bambi certainly can't blame himself being such a brilliant constitutional law scholar and all.

[R0CK3T]

The dude make Dan Quale look like a bright bulb.

What a clueless fool.

[rbmillerjr]

mark for reference, thiking of the media bashing if it were Reagan, Bush, or Palin.

[Reagan69]

Is his law degree as phony as his birth certificate?

[Carley]

Blame the teleprompter.

[DJ MacWoW]

Well I guess that shoots that claim that he’s a Constitutional scholar.

[Windflier]

But he's a Constitutional scholar, dontcha know....

[Dick Bachert]

From “Rules for Radicals” by Obama’s hero, Saul Alinsky:

RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.”

QUESTIONS?

[combat_boots]

Perhaps the real question is whose constitution 0bama is supposed to be an expert on. Or whether said ‘constitution’ is legal or physical.

[CodeToad]

“Is his law degree as phony as his birth certificate?
“

I really wouldn’t doubt it. He has refused to show his student records.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

If it were Reagan or Palin we'd never hear the end of it.

Hypocrisy is alive and well in the leftist media.

Dan Quayle was a bright bulb. But he was conservative and needed to be destroyed.

[Richard Kimball]

It's not like he actually knows what he's saying when he's up there.

[gov_bean_ counter]

being such a brilliant constitutional law scholar and all.

Coming to the conclusion we have been dealing with a long running type. He was a constipational scholar because he is FULL OF IT.

[ought-six]

And his apologists and camp followers still insist he is a constitutional scholar.
