Obama's winning smile
President Obama is now doing a craw-fish realizing that pushing through his elephant health care bill is a pill too hard for Americans who are now paying attention to swallow. He is also being seen as a bold-faced liar. It was said months ago that Obama was just doing what he said he would do, and voters were blamed for not paying attention. Times have changed quickly, and that can not be said now. Americans are opening their eyes to the true color of Obama, where the halls of Communism are painted red.
One blaring slap in the face for moral and ethical Americans who are Pro Life is that his health care plan will continue to provide taxpayer funding for abortions and supported by liberal clergy "bearing false witness" who haven’t a clue about the teaching of Jesus Christ.
The Capps Amendment was passed by Obama’s solder Democrats in the Energy and Commerce Committee at the end of July. It specifically states that the "public health insurance option shall provide coverage for (abortion) services," and directs the "Commissioner" to "assure" that every American will have access "to at least one ... plan that provides coverage of (abortion) services."
California Democrat Zoe Lofgren admitted in a town hall meeting this month that "abortion will be covered by one or more of the health care plans available to Americans."
Even the Associated Press wrote that Obama-Care "would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions."
There are many reasons to oppose Obama-Care, but taxpayer funding of abortion is realized to be the innocent blood-red we find on our hands, and this is entirely unacceptable.
Obama-care has to be carefully and intelligently dissected.

Thanks Ken,
Hopefully this nightmare that is the Federal Government will go bankrupt and out of business soon. Then we can go back to the Constitution.
Ahh, I love the smell of Jesus speak in the mornin. Hey, Ken and Stan, I don't think the public option should include Viagra or cover vasectomies either. You don't want to "pay for" my decisions regarding my uterus, I dont want to "pay for" any of your decisions with your penis. When you are pregnant, then let's talk about the public making your decisions for ya, ok?
Kate,
At first I though I agreed with ya. But later you lost me. I don't want anything to do with your uterus, and that is my point.
Got something to say?
