A letter signed by 42 members of Congress criticizes President Barack Obama for telling students in Indonesia last month that America's national motto is "E Pluribus Unum."

Obama commented to the students last month that the U.S. and Indonesia share a similar history. "It is a story written into our national mottos. In the United States, our motto is 'E Pluribus Unum' -- out of many, one."

It's pretty bad when the Pres__ent does not know the national motto is "In God We Trust". Pathetic.

I’m confused here...I was sure that Zippy thought it was “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

Don’t blame the Reader In Chief. His electronic adviser gave him some bad information.

He knew it was something on the penny. At least he didn’t say the national motto was “One Cent”...or “Allah akbar!”

At least he didn’t go with Al Gore’s version: “Out of one, many.”

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: “In God is our trust”

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Had he looked at a dollar, he might have said our motto was "Legal Tender."
