Absence of Word “Creator” No Oversight, Gibbs Says

In response to questions regarding President Obama’s omission of the phrase “endowed by their Creator” in his recent speeches that have included the listing of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as rights possessed by Americans, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs insisted it was not an error, but a correction.

“Clearing up misconceptions and logical fallacies is a passion of the President,” Gibbs said. “In the 200+ years since the Declaration of Independence was written scholars have demonstrated quite convincingly that people are endowed with these rights by the government. It is government programs like aid to families and food stamps that support life. It is the government that permits people to enjoy liberty when it could just as easily oppress them. And it’s the public schools that help build our children’s self-esteem—a key component of the pursuit of happiness. The President is merely trying to refocus people’s attention toward their real benefactor.”

“The danger is that if people forget where their rights come from they will make mistakes that could cost them dearly,” Gibbs added. “For example, they could misconstrue the importance of paying the taxes needed to fund the government that is granting them their rights. Maintaining tax revenue is crucial if we want the government to be able to continue taking care of its citizens. That’s why these Tea Party protests are so antithetical to what America truly stands for and a threat to the transformation the President is trying to accomplish.”

Still, he has omitted that phrase 3 separate times. It is not an accident or by oversight, but probably based on his belief that rights do come from the government.

The best satire works because it is based on reality.Many of "The Onion's articles have been accepted as real news on blogs before.

Hell even Obama and most of the left have been bamboozled by some blogger claiming that the Chamber of Commerce was using illegal foreign funds for campaign ads.

The funny part is, it isn't too much of a stretch.

It's like Rush says good humor always has an element of truth to it.

It's probably 100% true, just never hear them say it - and if they did it would never be reported.
