Yep, that’s about right.
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.)
“The [U.S. flag] pin saga started on October 3, 2007 when a local ABC reporter asked Obama why he didn’t wear one. Instead of the standard Beltway refrain, “My patriotism speaks for itself,” Obama launched into a long explanation of his decision-making process: “The truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. [Just like his: “I got a bracelet too!”] Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security,” Obama said in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest. Instead I’m going to try to tell the American people what I believe what will make this country great and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”
Because he's a Godless pr*ck!
Its a living document. You know, like the Constitution.
If he’s going in that direction he might as well do Lincoln’s speech from “Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”
The day odumbi dies of AIDS, God won’t be mentioned either, except maybe in giving thanks.
Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is a living document.
Ya, sure.
Because he would have reflexively and instinctively said “allah”?
p.s.
Just like the Constitution.
If he left out parts of the speech, how come the media still say he read the speech?
good blog headline:
- Obama refuses to repeat Gettysburg Address, claims it is bigoted toward atheists!
Because the idiot is clueless when it comes to American History. It was that idiot, Valerie Jarrett’s idea to make Barry think that he was the new Lincoln. Soetoro didn’t have a clue who Lincoln was. Jarrett had to tell him that Lincoln is the bearded white guy on the penny.
I guess the Gettysburg address is another “living document.”
Obama knows he can say whatever he wants to say and the MSM will always support him.
If Obama should begin his next State of Union Address by intoning, ‘’Allahu Akhbar!’’ the headline on the next day’s New York Times would be, ‘’Obama Adds Refreshing Diversity to Major Speech.’’
“Depends on which copy of the speech you're working from”
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.
Very interesting. I think Obama is a very transparent person in the sense that whatever he is trying to hide becomes all the more evident by the way he hides it. Whether it be that he hates America, or is not a Christian, or is gay.
the one that stumps me is his religion. I realize if he is any religion that it would be Muslim. He certainly is not Christian, But the way I see him is that he would never put himself below any God, even Allah. He just doesn’t seem good enough to worship another being, no matter whom or what.
Obama could hum a dial tone for all I care…..or make fart noises with his armpit.
There is only one thing he could ever say that might impress me, “I resign, effective immediately”.
That would be like omitting parts of Winston Churchill’s speeches and claiming to have read it in entirety.
Or George Washington’s new Windsor cantonment speech.
Link works for me
I’m just waiting for someone on DU asking why they can’t find the actual speech on YouTube.
