First the Fix, now the Lie

So we are now being led to believe that an executive order is going to stop tax money from being used to perform abortions. Is the president being sincere or is this a ploy,perhaps to placate the pro-life movement? Maybe Obama does love the United States of America. Maybe he is as pragmatic as many claim. Maybe he is a "uniter". Maybe he will set an example and do what he knows is good and proper. Maybe? Maybe.
Bart Stupak made a good show of being the champion of the unborn. He caved in. Instead of taking his lumps for what he KNEW was right, he chose the path of least resistance. Either Stupak was pressured or he is stupid. Can you imagine what kind of pressure had to be applied to this man and his future in order to garner his vote. Obama HAD to have Stupaks vote, Stupak was the holdouts ring leader. Then all of a sudden Obama got an idea, or maybe it was Pelosi. They told good old Stupak that they would cover him with an executive order, he went for it. He will now and for the rest of his life be the poster boy for ending one of pro-life movements greatest achievements, no government funding for abortion.
The executive order promising that no federal funds will be used for abortion is utterly useless, the president can revoke it as quickly as he signs it. The order is judicially unenforceable. An order cannot confer jurisdiction in the courts or establish any grounds for suing anybody in court. An executive order cannot trump or change a federal statute.
That means all those maybes are nots. You see, Obama being a constitutional lawyer, knew he was pitching Stupak a useless piece of paper, political cover to help press forth HIS legacy. Sadly, Stupak knew this himself. Stupak, a Catholic, was told about this several times by the U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops, according to an article in the Washington Post.
So the health care bill was passed based on lies and deception purposely used to mislead the American people.Obama thinks Americans are stupid. The people were lead to believe this scenario of a good representative standing his ground and a president concessing to the representatives principles, thus we have an acceptable and honorable solution. Ultimately, Stupak locking his office and shuting off his phones speaks for itself.
Funny, 24 hours before the vote Obama said "We are not bound to win, but we are bound to be true. We are not bound to succeed, but we are bound to let whatever light we have shine." So now lies are virtue and the American people do not matter. There is no light in a lie even if you "win". A president who cares more about "winning" cannot care about the people or principles. A president who puts on a show to deceive the people speaks for itself. Barak Obama is NOT pragmatic, he is a politician, a very good politician.
