What"s with Obama and the Declaration of Independence

Recently, in a speech before a Latino advocacy group in Washington, Obama quoted from the Declaration of Independence saying :"...all men are created equal with certain unalienable rights...".  But what does the Declaration actually say here: "'...all men are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights..."'.  Big difference, no?  It most certainly is a big difference for if these rights are not endowed by our Creator, just exactly who does endow these rights.  Most certainly Obama left those words out because he does not believe these unalienable rights come from the Creator but from the government,  a standard Liberal position and the very reason libs do not take the promises of the Declaration and the Constitution seriously.  It is bedrock belief of Liberals that man makes up these rights and man disposes them, it is a core belief and allows them to continually find new rights, such as abortion rights, single sex marriage rights, the right to a good paying job, the right to a comfortable home, and the right to health care paid for by someone else, among a few of their positions that have bankrupted this country and all the other developed countries in the world.  Given their druthers, libs would scrap the Constitution and fob off on the people whatever they, in their infinite wisdom, thought was appropriate at any given point in time.  Not the way the Founding Fathers envisioned America was to be governed and certainly not the way these founders saw the freedoms of the individuals were to be protected.  In this one speech, Obama has shown us exactly what he and his lib friends believe, and has told those of us who believe in the principles laid out in the Declaration and Constitution why we must get these people out of power and out of our lives once and for all.  This is a matter of great urgency which it appears more and more people have come to recognize.  This speech is here and the relevant comment occurs about the 22d minute point, near the end of an otherwise typically boring demagogic speech by a typical lib sucking up to one of the typical "identity politics" mindless constituent groups they depend on for votes.  Finally, here's another link to a commentary on this issue.  It appears our very own Constitutional Law professor President has a rather narrow view of the rights of American citizens.

Added:  The following is from an article in the WSJ by Ronald Pestritto, a professor at Hillsdale College.  It seems clear from this passage that Obama is squarely in the Wilsonian progressive camp at the very least, in keeping, by the way, with many academics.

Other leading progressives such as Frank J. Goodnow, the president of Johns Hopkins University, noted approvingly (in a 1916 lecture) that in Europe, unlike in America, the rights an individual possesses "are, it is believed, conferred upon him, not by his Creator, but rather by the society to which he belongs. What they are is to be determined by the legislative authority in view of the needs of that society. Social expediency, rather than natural right, is thus to determine the sphere of individual freedom of action."
