A Telling Omission?!

Here, Real Clear Politics has posted video of President Obama declaring that "Mexicans" were here "long before America was even an idea." It's not clear to what, in the President's view, that entitles Mexicans. Unrestricted illegal immigration, perhaps?

Worse yet, the President quotes the Declaration of Independence, saying that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed [] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Guess what he leaves out?!

The actual text informs us that we are endowed BY OUR CREATOR with certain inalienable rights. Let's just hope this was a sloppy (or ignorant) mistake on the President's part, rather than a deliberate omission!
