That is the problem...looking to government to fix anything.

1 Samuel 8:10-22. Read it.

Well, I think everyone should pray that the Holy Ghost will convict him and he'll rethink his proposition on abortion. Save lives before dollars.

Unfortunately it's looking a little too late for that. His first priorities look to be revising any limits Bush had placed on protecting the unborn:

Obama himself has signaled, for example, that he intends to reverse Bush's controversial limit on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, a decision that scientists say has restrained research into some of the most promising avenues for defeating a wide array of diseases, such as Parkinson's.

The new president is also expected to lift a so-called global gag rule barring international family planning groups that receive U.S. aid from counseling women about the availability of abortion, even in countries where the procedure is legal, said Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, he rescinded the Reagan-era regulation, known as the Mexico City policy, but Bush reimposed it.

Thanks Obama supporters.

Can Dubya write an executive order outlawing any future 0bama executive order?

He can't fix it. He can only break it worse. Governmnet is the problem, not the solution. and a abortioanist socialist government would be an even worse problem.

The best way for him to help would be to resign.

Well, I hafta say at least he is honest about his indifference to the unborn and isn't pretending Obama is 'pro-life'.

Upon reading his change.gov site before the scrubbing perhaps he needs to go back to that document he's going to swear an oath to uphold and read it.

I don't like calling our President "the leader of the free world". It's time America stopped trying to "lead" the world, free or otherwise. It implies imperialism which I find dis-tasteful. A leader among many, but not "the leader". So after he gets back from Disney Land maybe his first act should be showing the rest of the world that America does really respect them and that we don't look down our noses at them.

Okay, Leader implies Leader. Ruler implies imperialism. The US is not imperialistic. Definitely freedom is not imperialistic. Marxism on the other hand is imperialism, as is
Islamism.

So no offense, but our President is the leader of the free world. And is commonly referred to as such. Like it or not.
Here are some ways that our country leads the free world:
- largest economy, still.
- largest free country and most free country, still.
- largest, most effective and most advanced military, which is often used to protect others than Americans, and is often used to deliver humanitarian aid.
- largest member of NATO.
- most charitable both personally and nationally

Here are some countries for which the term should not apply:
- Russia, not free
- China not free
- Anything ruled by a sheik or a king. (Saudi Arabia being an example.)
- India - the Caste system and widespread religious persecution disqualifies it.
- England is probably the closest to being a leader
- Most of the rest of Europe would rather have the USA do the "heavy lifting" when it comes to defending freedom. And France, at least until recently, is too self-centered.

And I, for one, will use that term to refer to whomever is president, and Obama will be the leader of the free world on January 20th.

You are assuming something is "wrong" with the country in the first place.

0bama's moronic speech about bringing "fundamental change" also makes this stupid assumption.

What about all of us who think our fundamentals are pretty solid already? Why do we need to change something that has worked just fine for 230+ years? The only change we need is to reject any imbecilic idea that comes out of the Democrat party (which means rejecting everything that comes out of a Democrat's mouth).

My deal paladin hate to disagree with you, but unfortunately it seems as if the voters have accepted all the imbecilic ideas that have come out of the Democratic party.

At least for the time being. In the mean time, I would say that "God works all things for the good of those that love him."

Patience, Patience, Patience

With Respect....

That was my point: if the sheeple and Obamatons would reject their master's socialist tendencies, that would be "change I can believe in".

In the interest of trying to give the guy a fair shake...

He might impress me if he said, "I've been reading the intelligence reports, and maybe I was wrong about Iraq. It is central to the war on terror and Saddam was very much involved in Al Qieda.
In hindsight, President Bush was correct to go there."

And get up and say that the "Freedom of Choice Act" isn't a priority.

But maybe I'll find a winged pig sitting on the roof of my car, too.
