Free Speech Takes a Back Seat
In Obama Watch | no comments yet | permalink
When can someone tell you not to listen to what you want to? When they are President of the United State of course. Obama told Republicans a few days ago that the need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh in order to get things done.
Obama thinks that because he was elected President, everyone is going to lie down and do just what he wants. He claims he wants to end bipartisanship, yet making these types of statements only intensifies bipartisanship. It is interesting that he wants Republicans to work with him and yet advocated Democrats not working with Republicans in the past.
Obama recently reversed George W Bush’s ban on funding international aid to charities that perform or provide information about abortions. Interestingly, Obama is a President that has advocated women’s rights and yet some of this funding will go toward abortions that specifically choose female babies to abort. Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer, president of the American Values pressure group, stated: “It is both sad and infuriating that in the same week President Obama extended new rights to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and began planning to release men whom we know have murdered Americans, he is preparing to sentence innocent children to death through abortion.”
If Obama thinks that just because he was elected President that everyone in the United States holds the same values and aspires to the same ideals he is sadly mistaken.
