pResident 0'ButtCrack "misspoke" again for political reasons.
"...that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this the nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom..."
Note the difference between this initial version and the accepted, spoken one....
NICOLAY: "It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom"
LINCOLN: "It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom"
My opinion is that Obama specifically chose this early draft because of its omission of the phrase UNDER GOD.
Barry is a Revisionista.
I’m definitely not a religious guy, but am offended that 0bama would remove “under God” from his recitation because it’s offensive to the vast majority of Americans who believe in God and because it was a part of the speech as given by Lincoln. A proper recitation is all that was asked of Zero and he couldn’t even get that right. What a horrible person! I’m to the point where I’d be okay with Biden taking over for the rest of the 2nd term.
What a great leader the dumb-o-crats follow.
Interesting given that of the five copies written by Lincoln himself the first two drafts (the Nicolay and Hay copies, respectively) lacked “under God”. The later three copies (Everett, Bancroft and Bliss copies -the Bliss copy being the one Lincoln signed and dated) did have it.
The argument may be that since there’s no conclusive proof of what Lincoln actually spoke, they decided to go with the wording of the two drafts rather than the three post speech copies.
By the way, even the Wikipedia version has “under God” in it, so even some low-level clerk would have been able to retrieve the proper version for him at a moment’s notice.
They wouldn't try to deceive, would they?
Of course he didn’t want to use God’s holy name.
Obama’s big boss—the Earl of Hell—doesn’t like people using that word.
It was just a muslim slip.
This confirms he is neither American, nor Christian. As a lame duck he's no longer concerned with maintaining the lie that he's either of these things.
secular humanists think that the state is god
To the churchgoing black voters who believed this man’s lie that he is a practicing Christian (raised in several agnostic/muslim households)... SUCKERS!
Obama needs prayers.
He’ll be REAL sorry on the Day of Judgement!
...unexpectedly...
He’s done it before. The media don’t report it, and so the media prove that they are 100% in agreement with that, and that they are as anti-American and marxist as the big chief.
He really wanted to insert Allah instead, but he’s Christian you know.
And the liberals are so proud of him for it.
