Original title: Obama again Omits ‘Creator’ When Speaking of ‘Inalienable Rights’ Cited in Declaration of Independence ...

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.

It’s a setup. He wants to be attacked.

That’s because, to him, the Creator doesn’t exist ...

To belabor the obvious, rights bestowed by any less of a personage than God are VERY “alienable” by acts of men.

The Qur’an states that Allah created the sun, the moon, and the planets, each with their own individual courses or orbits. “It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course” (21:33).

PERHAPS SINCE HE CANNOT REFERENCE “ALLAH” HE GOES THAT ROUTE!

To Communists like Obama rights are ‘granted’ by the state.

It’s intentional for sure now. He’s truly a bad man. Evil.

According to Zero:’...we’re gonna give you’ this and that. The govt. has all and will decide who gets what, when, where, and how. Individual liberty? What’s that? Never mind, nothing to see here. Move right along while Zero seizes everything.

If Obama does it twenty more times the MSM might start to think it's on purpose.

"It’s a setup."

Bobo is just inverted NPD enough to believe that. Because it's certainly intentional at this point.

Yes, he hesitates to give rights a divine origin. This allows for the possibility of governments curtailing them. Still something of a logical problem. Inalienable is inalienable. But could not a government reassess a right “inalienable” status if the right is conferred by that government in the first place? A right given by God would unassailable. A right given by man, less so.

Obama had to do this. It's the narcissist in him.

Since he did it the first time, if he included the omitted words this time he would be admitting a mistake and giving in to his critics. Obama NEVER gives in to his critics.

Therefore, he HAD to repeat his inital omission of the reference to the Creator.

Zero can’t refer to ‘the Creator’ or God. He has to say, ‘Allah’ and that would give the game away.

When will they rule the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution as unconstitutional?

I believe the excuse they used before was that he went off the teleprompter and he just added the comments from the constitution from memory.

This happening just a week later shows he’s wanting it to be noticed and commented on for whatever reason.

OBama is the creator. (/Sarc)

That's fine. He can just keep right on saying it.

In the end Obama will stand in Judgement before OUR GOD. Everything he says & does is at his own peril.
