WASHINGTON (AP) - Calling the Declaration of Independence more than words on an aging parchment, President Barack Obama marked the Fourth of July on Sunday by urging Americans to live the principles that founded the nation as well as celebrate them.
"This is the day when we celebrate the very essence of America and the spirit that has defined us as a people and as a nation for more than two centuries," Obama told guests at a South Lawn barbecue honoring service members and their families.

” “Independence Day about civil rights, voting rights, workers’ rights, women’s rights..” “
Silly me - all this time, I’d thought it was about ‘inalienable rights’....

He has no idea what Independence Day is all about...so he, and his teleprompter staff, make things up...he reads it, the MSM media eats it up...and puts it on radio sound bites every hour on the hour...I know, I listen to the ‘news’ at the top of the hour and, there he is, every time, for the masses to bow down to...
If Obama cared about the modern legal version of voter’s rights, surely he should get exercised about the Black Panthers outrage in Philly? I mean, it’s not as if he had to cheat to get into office and needs to cheat to stay there? Is it?
I dislike this man more and more every day.
Why waste the trip.

I couldn’t agree with you more.
What an evil POS usurper in the White House!
Speaking from the balcony like a South American dictator.
Last week he practically deemed the Statue of Liberty to be the Statue of Immigration. The Left just make things up as it suits them.
Its about the Liberty we’re going to re-instate on nov. 2-(much to obama’s chagrin, I’m sure)-!!
It will soon be about our freedom to listen to the loudspeakers on every street corner blaring hypocrisy and DoubleSpeak from THE WON 24/7/365.
“tenets first declared by men of property and wealth..”
code for “rich white folk”
It’s about the fight against another time that government tried to be all in all. About taxes and control.
Men who would have LOST all that property and wealth (and their lives) if the grand experiment and revolution had failed.
Another case of progressive and libtard historical revisionism...courtesy of an idiotPOTUS....got to be a first.... =.=
