Obama Deletes Creator from Declaration - Again and Again

A few weeks ago I complained about the President improperly quoting the Declaration of Independence, mangling the passage "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" by omitting reference to the Creator. I was willing to accept that perhaps the President had ad-libbed and muffed the quote. Indeed, that was what Robert Gibbs said. But Obama has managed to do it two more times. To quote Ian Fleming:
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

By the way, it matters that the rights are considered endowed by our creator. It means that they are not a grant of kings, presidents, or congress.

    Or does he just not give a shit?

    If it quacks like a duck......

    Dean, why doesn't Occam's razor apply here?
