I love it! Obama socks it to Bonehead Boehner in Berlin
Advertisements [?]
President Obama, in a televised speech to the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Berlin Wall,
took special effort to use the EXACT same quote that Bonehead used at his Tea Party Congressmen performance on the steps
of the Capitol, the one about "all men are created equal," and that they all have the right to "life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness." He then CORRECTLY cited the quote as coming from the Declaration of Independence.

This was in very conspicuous contrast to the recent flagrant misattribution of the quote by Boehner and the House
Republican leadership. Obama is no fool. He could have used any appropriate quote he wanted, and he had to have
been aware of Bonehead's shining public demonstration of Republican ignorance. So he used the same quote, in correct
context (people wanting to throw off oppression, not insurance companies wishing to preserve their market share),
and attributing it to its correct source.

Bonehead handed this one to Obama on a silver platter. Obama didn't have to be asked twice.
