Obama: Confused About the Declaration

Obama: Confused About the Declaration

Not just confused, historically challenged on a major scale.

Given recent comments he made from the White House, Obama's not much of a student of History, or human rights, either. '"In his remarks, Obama suggested that the Declaration (of Independence) was the first time the God-given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness had been "put to paper."'

So I guess the Magna Carta was just a whim?
