Obama Wins Nobel Prize, Exported Tax-Funded Abortions at Time of Nomination

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, but a closer analysis of the award shows his only achievement at the time he was nominated was exporting taxpayer-funded abortions. Obama hadn't accomplished much else in office when the nominations were finalized. The Norwegian Nobel Committee's deadline for nominations for this year's Nobel Peace Prize was February 1, just 11 days after Obama's inauguration. In his will, Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel said the Peace Prize is meant to be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses." Yet, at the time, the only bridge building Obama had done with other countries is to take tens of millions of taxpayer funds and give them to abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes International. Those groups would use the funds to not only perform abortions but lobby the pro-life governments of nations in places like South America and Africa to overturn their laws. On January 23, during his first week after having taken over the White House, Obama officially scrapped the Mexico City Policy that protected taxpayers from involvement in overseas abortions for eight years.

Chicago Sun Times: Obama Excuses Wearing Thin

Is "The One" actually starting to lose some credibility? He's annoying people on both sides of the aisle -- the left (as ripped by SNL) is upset he's not doing enough and the right is angry that he's doing too much. A new CNN poll shows that for the first time people mostly disagree with Obama on the issues. He's had to blame everything on Bush. How is that going over? Ref. Source 7

Obama dishing out spankings

Barack Obama campaigned on a promise of unity, bi-partisanship and the "we'll all be holding hands utopian dream" idea. That clearly hasn't happened so far, and it's going to be tough to achieve given that every time someone disagrees with him he dishes out a vicious spanking. Ref. Source 5

1-year poll shows changed views on Obama

"Everybody today in the United States is looking to point a finger for the problems," the teacher says as she takes a break from running the 4-H petting zoo at the annual fall festival in this leafy Michigan town of 9,000 just west of Lansing. "Well, the problems started long before (Obama) got into office. It's too soon." On the other hand, three years after she got her master's degree in education, Norris, 38, who voted for Obama, is just scraping by on $75-a-day substitute-teaching jobs. With the housing market down, she and her husband, Jerry, owe more on their home than it's worth. Ref. Source 8

Obamas updating first family's image

"The Obamas have changed the culture of the White House," says Dee Dee Myers, President Clinton's first press secretary. President Obama may not have delivered on all the policy changes he promised since his election a year ago, but he and his family have brought dramatic social change to the nation's capital and to the country's collective image of its first family - and not just because they're the first African Americans in charge at the White House.

Keeping up with Obama

He's been a busy guy this weekend - first, he had to delay plans for climate change action, even though he previously stated "delay is not an option." Then he had to bow down to another foreign leader, this time it was in Japan. And, for good measure, this lover of the Earth traveled around in China with a 71 car motorcade. Oh, it's good to be King! Uh, President. Ref. Source 2

Obama Gaffes

Finally Saturday Night Live did a video just absolutely blasting President Obama for his spending, among other things. But before this one, there has been a comedy recession in America. Comedians don't know what to do with themselves because they don't see the President make any mistakes or do anything worth making fun of. Well, Glenn is all for stimulating the economy, so here is his stimulus for the comedy sector: Obama's gaffes. And a couple of Biden gaffes too -- since he is the king of gaffes. Ref. Source 6

Barack Obama's Thanksgiving Message Emulates Bush's, Ditches Pro-Life Words

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The Thanksgiving proclamation the White House issued on behalf of President Barack Obama is creating a bit of a controversy. The dustup doesn't concern what the traditional holiday message from the president says, but rather what it doesn't say.

The proclamation has already raised eyebrows for its brevity -- coming in at just over 400 words and failing to note any accomplishments during Obama's administration to this point.

Given that, for the pro-life community, Obama's main accomplishment is aggressively promoting abortion funding at American taxpayers' expense, there is another facet of the Thanksgiving message that is noteworthy.

Blogger Jill Stanek noticed the difference, primarily because her daughter had a hand in writing the final proclamation President George W. Bush issued last year.

Stanek compared the 2008 and 2009 proclamations and found that Obama's speechwriters essentially followed the Bush template.

Bush's Thanksgiving message last year read: "We recognize that all of these blessings, and life itself, come not from the hand of man but from Almighty God.... Having arrived in the New World, these early settlers gave thanks to the Author of Life." "Today, as we look back on the beginnings of our democracy, Americans recall that we live in a land of many blessings where every person has the right to live, work, and worship in freedom," it added. Stanek concludes, "Of course, Obama's pro-death team scrubbed all that." Ref. Source 8
