So let me close by saying this. Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. To British and French, to Dutch and Spanish, to Mexican -- (applause) -- to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land. We didnt always get along. But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together -- what made us all Americans -- was not a matter of blood, it wasnt a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Here it is in the official White House transcript and you can also see it on YouTube

I'm surprised this has not created a stir - perhaps lost in the election results new the last few nights.
For reference, here is the actual first sentence of the Preamble:
"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."
Anti American Anti Christian...Prez...
Wow
Good catch.
We are truly living in an Orwellian society, where the President can just change documented history. If I did this, as a historian and author, I’d have no credibility. I guess that’s why Obama’s credibility is where it is.
... maybe he just forgot? /s
*Facepalm*
From where do those ‘unalienable Rights’ come from. I bet the black poser (bloser) thinks they are from HIM, Meaning 0.
"But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together -- what made us all Americans -- was not a matter of blood,it wasnt a matter of birth.
He keeps exposing his roots!
Exactly the sort of cover the MSM provides for The One - post-modern elites are embarrassed that the Founding Fathers used the sort of religious talk they now associate with bitter clingers. In the minds of “progressives” like Obama, in this day and age we are only endowed with whatever rights the federal government chooses to give us. That’s “progress” in the Wilsonian mindset that has grown like some sort of malign kudzu over time.
BTW, on the YouTube video the time mark is 22:30.
He says it very slowly and deliberately - does not look like he mis-spoke.
Your observational skills are top notch!
Can’t for the life of me understand why Zero would eliminate mention of God. He’s a Christian. So they say.
Godless Communist, is anyone really surprised?
Most of us know the first few words of the Bible is:
“In the beginning God.....”Genesis 1:1a)
But we can also read: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)
And: “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken to us by His Son,......” (Hebrew 1:1-2a)
Yes, to quote the beginning of out Preamble is sooooooooo important!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were MEXICANS in this land before it was America? Mexico did not exist until 1821. ¡Obama es muy estúpido!
He literally is Beelzebub ~ LORD OF THE FLIES.
He didn’t say “Creator” because it didn’t appear on the TelePrompTer. Simple as that.
Do you have an actual White House link for this? Scribd is lousy with hoaxes.
