Conservatives flip out after Obama reads original Gettysburg Address 
without ‘under God’

Conservative websites on Tuesday expressed outraged after President 
Barack Obama read an original version of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg 
Address, which did not include the words “under God.”
 
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, 
filmmaker Ken Burns asked dozens of public figures to read the speech.
 
According to Media Matters, Burns specifically asked the president to 
read from the “Nicolay Version,” which was written before the phrase 
“under God” was added:
 
“It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task 
remaining before us – that, from these honored dead we take increased 
devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure 
of devotion – that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died 
in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that 
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not 
perish from the earth.”
The phrase, however, was changed slightly by the time the speech was 
delivered by Lincoln: “that this nation, under God, shall have a new 
birth of freedom.”
 
By Tuesday morning, the news had become one of the top stories on 
conservative websites like the Drudge Report, The Daily Caller, the 
National Review Online and WMAL. The Daily Caller did eventually correct 
their report to note that Burns had requested the “Nicolay Version” of 
the speech.
 
For weeks, conservatives have both been attacking the president for not 
attending a commemoration ceremony at Gettysburg and saying that he 
shouldn’t attend at all.
 
Wall Street Journal columnist Daniel Henninger told Fox News host Brian 
Kilmeade on Tuesday that Lincoln had set out to unify the country and 
Obama should not attend the commemoration because he was dividing the 
country.
 
“The thing that Lincoln said at the Gettysburg Address is that they were 
gathered there for what he called unfinished business, and the 
unfinished business was the Civil War, the liberation of the slaves,” 
Henninger explained. “And I remarked that the ascendancy of Barack Obama 
to the presidency in 2008 was in many ways completing the circle of 
Lincoln’s unfinished business. But at the same time that Gettysburg 
Address was about unifying the country, the Civil War he had fought to 
bring the country together.”
 
“It seemed to me if Obama came under those circumstances and spoke about 
unifying the country, it would not sit well with half the country, who 
so disagrees with him,” he added.
 
But Henninger also seemed unsatisfied with Obama’s decision not to speak 
because he said it was “unconceivable that the president would not have 
taken the opportunity to talk about a president he so admired on this 
special day.”
