Obama falls flat in marking Gettysburg Address anniversary

Obama chose to address business leaders, although he did send a handwritten tribute to the event to mark the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. ‘It didn’t work schedule wise,’ says a top aide.

President Obama’s recitation of the Gettysburg Address for a Ken Burns documentary about the famous speech sparked a round of backlash after a local news radio host first noticed and reported a curious omission: He left out the phrase “under God.”

Chris Plante of “The Chris Plante Show” reported the discrepancy this week, and it wasn’t long after that the story caught on media fire. His WMAL report, posted on Breitbart, stated: “Curiously enough, in his version of the speech, President Barack Obama’s delivery contained an omission — in a line that every other celebrity delivered as ‘that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,’ the President left out the words, ‘under God.’”

Following, CNN reported that Mr. Obama — who claims a longtime affinity for President Abraham Lincoln, who delivered the brief remarks on Nov. 19, 1863 — was the only person of several who taped a version of the speech to post to Mr. Burns’ documentary site that didn’t include mention of “under God.” Other media outlets subsequently clarified that Mr. Obama was reading a version of the speech that doesn’t actually include the words “under God.” And liberal and mainstream sites rushed to slam those who found the omission in any way strange.

Raw Story, for example, slammed the conservative outcry with the headline “Conservatives flip out after Obama reads original Gettysburg Address without ‘under God.’”

At the time he was addressing CEO's. You know the guys who lead large corporations that help move the economy.

So, yeah. Obama was shaking down big business. Been doing that since day 1 he was in office. And how's that helped the economy ?

I like how each of you need to make the same point.

What you all fail to realize is this is the way of things. If you do not like or agree with the current President, you must find every single fault with them. Where were all of you during the last administration to "decry" the daily threads about Bush and his grammar? Or Bush dressing in the local fashions? Or Bush holding hands with the Saudi King? Or Bush inappropriatly touching Merkle? Or...

150 yrs. is very special landmark in history. 149 yrs. isn't. If you don't know that, you're just a huge fucking idiot.

Wow, repeat what you've already said, miss the point, and still ignore that no other presidents went...

Hilarious.

Note that the single person to keep bringing up race, yet again, is the guy who continually claims to not be about race (despite mentioning it at every opportunity).

Sad, sad little man.

The word is divisible, not divisiable. And I'll repeat that if you can't understand the historical significance difference between 150 years and 149 years, then you're a fucking idiot just like the Elvis sockpuppet.

What SHOULD have been an actual AMERICAN gesture by this President instead gets tossed aside, as he was " too busy ".

I expect he'll show more interest in his 150th round of golf as President than that other 150th anniversary.

Obama, 1st black President this nation has had, SHOULD be aware of the special historical significance of this anniversary.

But I guess such things are completely lost on him. And you.

For the first Black President wouldn't the 150 anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation be the important one, as opposed to a speech which does not mention slaver?

For you most likely not since you can't fake outrage over that...
