Why Does President Obama Do This?

http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2...-Address-Video

I don't get it. We all learned The Gettysburg Address in school, every word is riveting.

So why, when all of the other Presidents chose to recite the Speech exactly as President Lincoln delivered it, did President Obama choose to leave out the words "under God"?

And why did he do the same when he spoke of our Declaration of Independence?

There has to be a reason.

Why does it bother you so much? I mean, besides the fact that you despise the man and would find fault in anything he did, no matter what it was.

Get over it. Maybe you're the one with the problem and not Obama....ever consider it?

That's not a very civil reply.

That is not a "version". The Gettysburg Address is what it is, a Historical Document. So is the Declaration of Independence.

So I ask again. Why did President Obama choose to change the wording?

Over 30 celebrities (and all living presidents) have read the speech for Ken Burns...Obama is the first to omit "God"....it was a purposeful omission...Same way he sanitized The Declaration of Independence reference he invoked at his 2 nd inauguration.

Obama read the Nicolay draft version....not the final text Lincoln delivered...not the official text!

Just a quick check: Anybody remember anybody criticizing any other President for not paying appropriate attention top the G-Burg address? This is a Fox News creation....President Obama being held to a double standard when no other President other than Taft went to Gettysburg to celebrate the address.

It is ODS. Fucking lunatics.

Yet, for some reason, it's an issue now...

I wonder why.

Obama is a Christian and a good family man. Give him some credit, please.

Bert, it isn't going to happen with this bunch of howler monkeys!

Okay, so Ken Burns, who hasn't done anything relevent or entertaining in many years, asks the most powerful man in the world (sorry Vlad) to fundamentally change a critical document and he does it. He does it! Doesn't this guy make any decisions on his own? What power does Ken Burns have over Obama? Why does Obama celebrate Ramadan? Why doesn't Obama properly salute the Star Spangled Banner? So many dots but how do you connect them? Lets remember that it was Ken Burns who compared Obama to Abraham Lincoln.
