Is the Gettysburg Address subject to interpretation?

Depends on which copy of the speech you're working from.

“Depends on which copy of the speech you're working from.”

Glen Beck's “the Blaze” as this on their site. That is what the Burn’s site is now saying. But the original webpage (which the blaze shows) has no description.

Also interesting is that all of the other famous people use the final version, but Obama’s omission is now explained as using an earlier draft of the speech.

Too bad they didn't have people saying all of the different versions. That would have helped “explain” Obama’s omission. (Actually that would have been interesting to see the various changes that were made.)

Nonsense

I don't think for a moment Obunga knew two words of the G.A. prior to entering the Spite House. The widely acknowledged official version is the “Bliss” version. The original resides in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White house. Any thoughts on whether Obunga has read it more than a few times in the past 5 years? Either Ken Burns (far left) or his Commie Advisers gave him the out he oh so wanted.
