Obama Fail Blog

You got Constitution in my Declaration of Independence!
You got Declaration of Independence in my Constitution!

Yet another failure in the State of the Union address. This time, the failure lies somewhere between a simple gaffe and a troubling glimpse at our president's complete lack of knowledge of America's history. That's a fairly wide range, but a fairly common question when deciphering Obama - is he a goofy moron or a dangerous clown?

Watch the above video. And read on...

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?"

Good grief. Wasn't this guy supposed to be a great legal mind? After all, being a lawyer is essentially the only thing he has ever done.

Remember when we were force-fed by many in the media articles about the storied legal career of Barack Obama? The first black President of Harvard Law Review (who never wrote a signed legal opinion; nor released his transcripts) and the teacher of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago. He was our last best hope to restore respect for the Constitution in the Oval Office.

If George Bush or any Republican had made the same mistake can you imagine the media firestorm? I still recall that the New York Times ran a series of photos on the front-page when George Bush tried to open the wrong door while he was on a diplomatic visit to China. This is leagues above that simple faux pas.
