White House Backs Away From Contraception Aide in Stimulus Bill

 Nancy Pelosi made headlines over the weekend when she went on television and defended the contraception aide that was built into what is supposed to be an economic stimulus package. She basically claimed that population control was good for the economy. (Sounds too much like China to me.)

  People are beginning to look at all of the pork that is in this bill and they are beginning to realize that this is just a big government welfare bill full of entitlements and handouts and bears very little resemblance to a stimulus bill.

 Suddenly President Obama is backing away from the contraception aide portion of the bill using the “it wasn’t me” defense.

The Obama White House on Monday backed away from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s support for increased federal funding of contraception in the $825-billion stimulus bill now under consideration by Congress.
 
That was not President Obama’s idea, a White House spokesman told CNSNews.com.

 President Obama is trying to deflect negative publicity away from himself. When Republicans tried to negotiate with President Obama on the stimulus bill they were told by the president “I won”. He basically  told the Republicans that he was in charge and that he would set the parameters of the bill with those two simple words.

 But now that a portion of that bill has come under attack he has switched from his “I won” position to his “it wasn’t my idea” position. This is no way to prove yourself as a leader. This is cowardice. And it is already his second, actually third, act of cowardice since he has become president.

 Last week he was supposed to sign an executive order to lift the ban on United States taxpayer’s money funding abortions overseas. He delayed the signing for a day because there were right to lifers protesting outside. That was his first act of cowardice.

 On Friday he heard that Martin Luther King’s niece (a pro lifer) was outside of the White House ready to give a press conference once he signed the executive order. She had to give the press conference before he signed the order because he waited until 7:00 at night to sign it. Everybody who follows politics knows that when there is bad or controversial news to release that you do it on a Friday evening after the news cycle is over to avoid bad press. That is what Obama did, that was act of cowardice number two.

 And today when the pressure starts to mount on the contraception aide in the stimulus bill he bails out on that. Strike three.

  President Obama, we know that you are a radical leftist, you don’t have to hide who you are. I would have more respect for you if you came out proudly for what you believed in but you hide your beliefs and that is cowardly. I have no respect for you. Please stop blaming others.
