First Lady Michelle Obama Picks Abortion Advocate as New Chief of Staff

First Lady Michelle Obama has selected a new chief of staff to replace longtime personal friend and political confidant Susan Sher.

She will be replaced with Tina Tchen, who was an abortion activist before joining the White House.

President Barack Obama selected Tchen to become the director of public liaison at the White House and, in March 2009, she became the executive director of the White House Council on Women and Girls, which pro-life advocates worry promotes abortions.

Tchen is a Chicago lawyer who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Obama presidential campaign. Previously, she served as the vice president of the National Organization for Women, a prominent pro-abortion organization.

She upset pro-life advocates in July 2009 when she spoke to gathering of Planned Parenthood activists. There, she promised leaders of the abortion business that Obama is a pro-abortion president and urged them to continue their pro-abortion lobbying efforts.

During the event, Tchen told the Planned Parenthood activists that if they want abortion as a part of the health care restructuring plan Congress is considering, they need to "bring it" - and up their lobbying efforts. Ref. Source 1

Landing Aborted

A plane carrying first lady Michelle Obama had to abort its landing at Andrews Air Force Base after it came too close to a military C-17 cargo plane, according to a senior administration official and the Federal Aviation Administration.

The planes were three miles apart, when they are supposed to be at least five miles apart, the official told CNN.

The FAA is investigating what went wrong, as it is believed to be an air traffic controller's mistake. It comes on the heels of other recent incidents involving sleeping or distracted air traffic controllers.
