No, he never did. He says the pledge of allegiance the way it has been since 1954.

That phrase was inserted during the McCarthy era, to show that America was different from the Soviet Union-- we believed in God, and they did not. That said, contrary to many internet myths, President Obama has never disrespected the flag, has never refused to say the pledge, and always says it correctly.

In memory of the birth day of President Abraham Lincoln, on February 7, 1954; President Dwight Eisenhower, sat in the Lincoln pew, at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, where President Lincoln had attended services.The sermon by the church's pastor, Dr. George MacPherson Docherty; was based on the Gettysburg Address titled "A New Birth of Freedom."

IS THERE A comma between one nation under God in the pledge?
Short answer: no. When "Under God" was added in 1954, it was placed right after "one nation" as a descriptor, i.e. where our nation stood. Therefore it's the "nation" that's "under God" and not the "republic" which would be the case if the comma were there. (of course the "nation" and "republic" is the same thing so in the end, it doesn't matter. Whether "under god" should be in the pledge is, of course, another topic.
