Was doesn't the MSM talk about Obama quoting wrong founding doc in the State of Union?



Papa Obama, the former Constitutional lawyer, or senior lecturer, or something,,,,

One would hope the President of the United States would know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But in last night's State of the Union Address, President Obama said:

We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….

Um, wrong founding document, Mr. President. It is in our Declaration of Independence that we read:

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.

As a Facebook friend of mine quipped, "So, does he blame the speechwriter or Bush?"

Or perhaps he will claim the teleprompter was a Republican.

Bubba did the same thing, when he piously declared; "Last time I checked, the Constitution said 'by the people for the people and of the people'".

Time for democrat loons to face the fact that their avatars don't give a hoot in hell about the Constitution.

[Mr.Fitnah]

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.

Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.

And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.

Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.

Fuck.I posted this in the wrong damn thread

As a Facebook friend of mine quipped, "So, does he blame the speechwriter or Bush?"

Bush was the writer.

Don't misunderestimate him.

Blame Bush and the Banks

Whatever you do - do not look at failed Papa Obama policies

(that would be racist)

Someday someone will learn how to hack a teleprompter and Barry will sound even more folish then he does now.

ummm...the notion that we are all created equal is enshrined in our constitution.

enshrine: to preserve or cherish as sacred

The constitution preserves the reasons we founded our country.

You guys are none too bright.

Apparently, you "guys" are not tired of making excuses for him
But don't worry, I 'm sure he was talking about all "57" states

There are enough valid reasons to criticize him without just making up stupid things that turn out to do nothing but showcase your idiocy.

Idiocy would be having all those handlers and they still allow such a mistake or trying to defend it


But don't worry, I 'm sure they will do a better job on health care


To be fair, maybe the TOTUS was tired that night

That pretty much answers the OP question as well. Most of the MSM rush to be at the front of the line spewing excuses for these guys fuckups, and are the main obama appologists. They aren't going to call him on his bullshit.

You people really are stupid.

The constitution absolutely does preserve the notion that all are created equal.

Weirdly, we didn't hear him mention in his SOTU address that by 2019 the interest on our debt will be 799 Billion. That's like paying for a Porkulus bill out-of-pocket ANNUALLY.
And that, on top of the 700 Billion we already spend on foreign oil and before any new spending on healthcare, and before repairing our system of entitlement spending, which will eat up every dollar of GDP by 2049 if memory serves.

It's utterly unsustainable. Our children are ROBBED of their future, ROBBED of the American legacy we were responsible for leaving to them. There's no point in sending them out for college educations when their future is limited to pulling the government wagon, yoked like animals by inescapable debt.

You people really are stupid.

You do know that your pathetic name calling only shows you have no real argument?

Truth is the worst enemy of the left

Name calling is when I call you names.

Pointing out that you are stupid is just a factual comment.
