<p>&ldquo;Thanks, everybody. From my family to yours, have a safe and happy Fourth of July.&rdquo; That was the conclusion to Obama&rsquo;s Fourth of July ;Address. Looking back at the previous two years, the President has finished with appropriate phrases like &ldquo;God bless you all.&rdquo; But this year was different. ;</p>
<p>After an inspiring talk about &ldquo;this most American of holidays&rdquo; in which Obama mentioned hotdogs, hamburgers, fireworks, his daughter&rsquo;s birthday, and the Obama family party to which &ldquo;several hundred members of our military and their families&rdquo; are invited, we noticed something missing. ;</p>
<p>Obama <em>did not</em> mention God in his Independence Day speech. He talked about the ;founding fathers, quoted the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>, and spoke about the many races and religions represented in today&rsquo;s America. ;&ldquo;Our allegiance to this declaration,&rdquo; says Obama, &ldquo;is the creed that binds us together. It&rsquo;s what, out of many, makes us one.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>After a little cheer for the US women&rsquo;s national soccer team, he concluded the speech with a politically correct, family friendly phrase. ;</p>
<p>As his presidency draws to a close, it seems Obama is letting a little too much of his true character show. ; ;</p>
