This today from Congressman Randy Forbes:
Members of the Prayer Caucus to President Obama: Issue Correction for Inaccurate Reference of National Motto
President Obama Inaccurately States National Motto is “E Pluribus Unum”Washington, D.C., Dec 6 –
Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04), along with 42 bipartisan Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, today sent a letter to President Barack Obama calling on him to issue a correction to a speech he gave in Jakarta, Indonesia, in which he inaccurately referred to our national motto as being “E Pluribus unum.” The official national motto is “In God We Trust.”
This just less than a month after he misquoted, or more correctly edited the phrase “endowed by their Creator” from the Declaration of Independence.
Oh sure, maybe it’s just an incompetent speech writer. But the President of the United States should be well read enough to say “Hey, that ain’t right.”
Unless it’s all intentional.
As Congressman Forbes says, “Once may be a mistake. But twice is a pattern. These omissions and inaccuracies are a part of a larger pattern we are seeing with the President where he is inaccurately reflecting America and undercutting important parts of our nation’s history.”
