Example one comes from Obama's book, "Audacity of Hope" (page 53), where he quoted then misinterpreted the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
… [T]he essential idea behind the Declaration – that we are born into this world free, all of us; that each of us arrives with a bundle of rights that can't be taken away by any person or any state without just cause; that through our own agency we can, and must, make of our lives what we will – is one that every American understands.
Obama's choice of the word "born" as his interpretation of the Declaration's launching point for the rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness was calculated, obviously to protect his belief in abortion, but, of course, inaccurate.
The Declaration clearly stated these rights commence at "creation." Framers reiterated this point by stating they are endowed by a "Creator."
