Did Anyone Notice This Year’s RNC/DNC Speech Endings?

In the past I’ve often heard Barack Obama, and others, end their speeches with, “God bless this, God Bless that, and God Bless THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” This was typical.

But this year’s convention speeches were different. In particular, tonight, I noticed that Obama ended with, “God bless these united states.” Which just seemed strange to me.

So I checked a few of the key people in each convention, and listen to see if you can locate the only one (of these five) who said “God Bless THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

Could it be that only one of these folks is now representing the corporation, “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”?

These are all from ABC News YouTube page, except Paul Ryan’s, from the New York Times YouTube page. Each clip is a few seconds long.
