Obama: I'm Offended and Insulted that Republicans Pointed out My Pro-Baby Killing Votes
This is a deeply, almost pathologically, arrogant man.
To recap, Obama initially said he voted against the 2003 bill protecting born-alive aborted fetuses only because it would have threatened abortion rights due to its lack of a “neutrality” clause vis-a-vis Roe v. Wade. Minor problem: The bill did include that clause and State Sen. Obama was one of the committee members who made sure that it did — before he voted against it anyway. Meanwhile, the bill he voted against was identical to a bill that passed 98-0 in Congress which he claims he would have voted for if he had been a U.S. Senator at the time.Let's be clear about what Obama supported here - he voted against a bill that would have protected babies who survived abortions. You read that correctly - Obama is so radically pro-abortion that he thinks even if the baby survives the procedure and makes it out of the birth canal, it should be killed for having the audacity to deny a woman her right to choose to end its life. Or something. No matter how he tries to spin it, Obama's vote shows he is either a total stooge of the pro-abortion lobby or just plain evil. Personally, I think he's just a tool. The fact that his tool-ishness is actually the better option doesn't speak well of him.
Are you paying attention, Heather and Heather-like evangelicals, or is Obama's ability to tickle your ears with meaningless God-talk enough to make you overlook his infanticide-voting ways? Sure, I flirted with the idea of Obama, but I've seen the light. I was wrong...oh, man was I wrong.
Obama, who is the father of two girls, likely watched the 20-week sonogram that is now a regular part of the pregnancy experience for most couples. I simply cannot comprehend how a father who saw his children in the womb during that sonogram can be so pro-abortion. The minute I saw pictures of my daughters on that computer screen, I was smitten and struck by the humanity of the fetus.
If Obama saw that, and remains a pro-abortion tool, then he’s an idiot or worse. However, that doesn't explain his position on this particular issue. There is much debate over when life begins, but some sort of consensus exists that it happens once the baby has left the birth canal. Based on his votes, that's not enough for Obama. His position and his votes are based entirely on the intent of the mother - if the mom intended to kill the baby, it should die even if it left the birth canal and survived the abortion procedure.
Voting to allow the killing of living, breathing babies is voting in favor of infanticide. I do not believe Obama is evil, but with this vote he was willing to allow evil for the sake of political expediency. Is that what he means by judgment we can trust?
Predictably, the media is ignoring this story. Heaven forbid people learn the truth about Obama - they're all about printing the legend, and the spin.

The Chosen One is quickly finding himself trapped between getting elected and defending his past PC votes.
A democrat voting the straight pro-choice line isn't news. What does piss them off is the realization that a majority of American's don't buy the hard core pro-choice mantra - the "kill 'em all" party line demanded by the Planned Parenthood crowd.
The more I hear of Barry's apparent hostility to kids the more I think he needs to be photo shopped into a Michael Jackson "Thriller" scene.
