In the statement he made on signing the executive order to close Guantanamo.
Apparently, the WaPo’s Dana Priest didn’t get the memo.
Later on, though he was reading from a prepared statement in the first case, he perhaps has caught himself enough to refer instead to “the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism.” So, maybe it’s not a war. Maybe it’s just an “ongoing struggle.”
Scrappleface: The CASE against terror
Because it is in the nature of even-handedness, mercy towards jihadis must be counterbalanced by its withdrawal in the ongoing struggle against the unborn:
President Barack Obama plans to sign an executive order ending the ban on federal funds for international groups that promote or perform abortions, officials told The Associated Press on Friday.
The move, long expected in the Democratic president’s first week in office, will be welcomed by liberals and criticized by abortion rights foes.*
The policy bans U.S. taxpayer money, usually in the form of U.S. Agency for International Development funds, from going to international family planning groups that either offer abortions or provide information, counseling or referrals about abortion. It is also known as the “global gag rule,” because it prohibits taxpayer funding for groups that even talk about abortion if there is an unplanned pregnancy.
Also known as the “Mexico City policy,” it has been reinstated and then reversed by Republican and Democratic presidents since GOP President Ronald Reagan established it in 1984. President Bill Clinton ended the ban in 1993, but President George W. Bush re-instituted it in 2001 as one of his first acts in office.
The Democratic official and senior U.S. official who disclosed the plans did so on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to pre-empt Obama’s announcement.

The “Case against Terror” seems a bit strong. How about we say “our earnest effort punish the naughtys?”
Or better yet, “our earnest effort chasten the naughtys.â€Â
“to chasten”
B-B-But, Rahmbo said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste”…
Obama will come to regret this pacifier to the far left…
Shouldn’t it be “abortion rights ofays” now?
Along with the future victims of that pacifier, Mr. Reed. Of that you may be certain.
It’s the remnants of The Population Bomb scare.
Hell, there was/is an (in)famous episode of Captain Planet where the American kid and the Russian kid get some vision of the future, and the Earth is ruined because they hooked up and had *gasp* 3 kids.
The take-home message (I would say subtext, but nothing on that show qualified as subtext) was: To save the Earth, you gotta keep the brown people from reproducing.
Embryos are not people. Sorry, but it’s true.

And now President Obama has the job of reconciling transparency with personally/politically motivated leakers. And I doubt he will do better than any other administration has.
I have been trying my hardest to respect our new president.
But after these few days, I am having trouble believing that Obama has a fucking clue. A balance between our safety and our ideals? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! It’s almoxt like thor is telling B. H. Obama what reality is.
How could someone as intelligent as The O! have absolutely no comprehension of world history? Obama is poison. No question about it. When you cater to the people who want something for nothing, you steamroll the people who bust their asses to live the American dream (except for thor and nips, who don’t believe in God, but think that God owes them a living)
Give me a fucking break
We are fucked.
Obama, within three days, has shown that he will destroy this country for a pipedream – “If you are nice, they will like you”.
What a fucking idiot. and what a bunch of lawbreakers he has assembled for his cabinet. Oh! Excuse me! Lawbreaking for the Demobrats is called a “hiccup”.
“Hi. I’m Franklin Raines. I’m from the government, and I am here to somewhat gingerly empty your bank account. But it’s not my fault that I got caught. Thank God for the MSM who have completely ignored my theft of $90,000,000!”
I really am trying to accept the Light Giver, but he is not in the mode of leaving a lot of wiggle room.
Shit! Being white is not on the “to do” list anymore.
Morons rule, thank you very much!
Right, AJB, because they haven’t earned it.
Evereh embrya a loved an wanted embrya.
” But after these few days, I am having trouble believing that Obama has a fucking clue. ”
Its gonna be 4, maybe 8 years of this.
When you think about it, everything will work out OK. Guantánamo still has its wonderstruck face and its body, the best of promised lands. It is an unfinished adventure. I realize that the War on Terror’s heart is a delicate instrument, but she’s in good shape. Of course, if the War on Terror doesn’t eat her medicine, her heart will shrivel like an artichoke. But no one would let that happen.
Embryos are not people. Sorry, but it’s true.
The embryos aren’t reproducing.
