Noted constitutional scholar doesn’t know the difference between Constitution and Declaration of Independence

President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. Uh-oh. He confused the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence.

President Obama, often noted as a former professor of constitutional law, got a little confused during Tuesday’s State of the Union Address. He said:

We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….

Uh-oh. Wrong document, President Obama. It’s actually the Declaration of Independence that says:

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 these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

It is almost zenlike, young grasshopper, that one should attempt to teach that which one has not yet mastered.

What kind of grade would the ol’ professor give a student who made such a basic error?

A solid B+.
