Taking God Out of Gettysburg?
Several well-known conservatives spoke out against President Barack Obama on Tuesday after he left out the words "under God" from a reading of the Gettysburg Address.
"After five years of tearing down religious liberty, it is neither surprising nor unexpected that President Obama disregarded 'under God' when reciting the Gettysburg Address," said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, in a statement. "He has certainly failed to acknowledge God and Biblical values throughout his presidency."
Bryan Fischer, director of issue analysis for the American Family Association, said the omission points to the president's disrespectful attitude toward the Christian faith.
