Not Well Endowed

President Obama rewrote the Declaration of Independence last week in a speech before the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, wiping out our Creator who endowed us with our unalienable rights. (Obama: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal [4-second pause], endowed with certain unalienable rights…”) To whom, then, did the Obamas pray on their unusual trip to church on Sunday?  

Not Well Endowed
By Asher Embry

To all, it’s now self-evident
What kind of man’s our President.

He said that he was one of us;
Went on to mock us for the fuss
We made about his Reverend’s views
Which “hadn’t reached” Obama’s pews.
The reason that he didn’t hear?
Quite clearly: O was never there.

We knew that O would hardly pause
Rewriting all our country’s laws.
His ideology annuls
Our Constitution’s principles.
And now, with ne’re a hesitation,
O’s changed our nation’s Declaration.
(That Jefferson’s not up to snuff —
With trite ideas and prose that’s rough!)

He thinks those dreams his Daddy dreamt
Still make Americans verklempt.
But no. O’s future’s looking grim;
Now all can see what’s really him.

Booger, I took German as my language class in high school, but haven't spoken any German since then. Please translate your post. Thanks.
