Why does the President have a problem with saying the word 'creator' when citing the Declaration of Independence? This is the third time for him to do it. He is refusing to acknoweledge GOD. This is very disturbing and it makes me feel more confident that he is a muslim. Sarah Palin would never omit 'creator' from the Declaration of Independence. Obama is the first president to do this sort of thing and it is very un-American.
Again? President censors 'Creator' reference 3rd time
Speech at fundraiser edits Declaration of Independence acknowledgement of God
Third time the charm?
Probably depends on your perspective. But the facts are that a statement published on the government's official White House website confirms that for the third time in a little over a month, President Obama has censored a reference in the Declaration of Independence to people being endowed "by their Creator" with rights.
He just says that people "are endowed."
Obama repeatedly has used the reference in his campaign efforts to boost Democrat interest in the 2010 midterm elections, at which most analysts are predicting a Republican landslide sweeping through Congress and statehouses.
The actual quote from the Declaration is:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

"Repeatedly now the president has simply said Americans are endowed with certain rights, but persistently refuses to acknowledge with the Founders that these rights are a gift from God," he wrote his constituents. "He stripped God from our founding document on September 15 when speaking to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. He did it again on September 23 at a fundraiser in New York City. And he did it a third time … in Rockville, Md., when speaking to Democratic Senate candidate donors.
"This can no longer by any stretch of the imagination be considered unintentional or accidental. President Obama is deliberately stripping our Christian heritage from us right before our very eyes," he continued.
