>In a speech before the Congregational Hispanic Caucus Institute, President Barack Obama mentioned the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence but he left out the words “by their Creator.”
The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence states as follows: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
This is what the President said:
No wonder many people today doubt that Barack Obama is a Christian.

>It might be just a slip on his part but it saddens me that the most important element in the "American experiment" is missing from the President's quote. Would the Founding Fathers object? Probably. The downward slide continues. But God is still on the throne and prayer changes things. We need to pray for our President. The Lord can work wonders in the heart.
