HotAir airs the supposition that what may look like Barack Obama in a “protocol-smashing deep-waisted bow to King Abdullah” was Obama reaching for something on the ground offered by some aspiring minds. HotAir deftly notes that one hand is in the hand of King Abdullah and the other at Obama’s side… hence only obeisance here!

Political Vendettas
Here’s the thing, the Wall Street Journal reports in
A Tale of Two Farces
Here’s the match-up. In the right corner we have Omar al-Bashir, for 20 years the Islamist dictator of Sudan and the man most responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of Darfuris. In the left corner we have six former Bush Administration officials who were given the task after September 11 of formulating America’s response to the atrocities. Who do you think is in the greatest legal jeopardy?
Speaking of President Obama the Wall Street Journal says:
Now that he is President, he has larger obligations. One is to stand against foreign grandstanding that intrudes on America’s rule of law. Another is to oppose Members of his own party, such as Mr. Levin, who are running political vendettas against former U.S. officials.
You would think Obama could and would stop political vendettas against former U.S. officials, but will he? He is not much for standing up for America or Americans.
Count the Blessings? of Abortion: 50,000,000
When you think you’ve heard it all, Amy Welborn tells you that the unanimously elected a new dean, Dr. Katherine Ragsdale of the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge is preaching Abortion is a Blessing!
As quoted by Chris Johnson of Midwest Conservative Journal:
And when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion – there is not a tragedy in sight — only blessing. The ability to enjoy God’s good gift of sexuality without compromising one’s education, life’s work, or ability to put to use God’s gifts and call is simply blessing.
These are the two things I want you, please, to remember – abortion is a blessing
and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done.
I want to thank all of you who protect this blessing – who do this work every day: the health care providers, doctors, nurses, technicians, receptionists, who put your lives on the line to care for others (you are heroes — in my eyes, you are saints); the escorts and the activists; the lobbyists and the clinic defenders; all of you. You’re engaged in holy work.
Can there be anything sadder ? Convenience over conscience, money over morals, sex over sacredness, what are those Doctors of Divinity thinking. Dr. Katherine Ragsdale is their unanimous choice. I can better understand why questions of the true Presence of Christ in the Eucharist are at issue when these people cannot recognize the true presence of a child in the womb.
Pursuing Holiness has this: [UPDATE: Ms. Ragsdale deleted the sermon, but on the intarweb things have a zombie-like way of coming back to get you. Cached copy is here. And for posterity, here’s a PDF of the cached page with Our Work Is Not Done. Why do you think she deleted it?
The Question That Won’t Go Away
Where was Obama born?
Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States of America, but was he legally eligible. In other words, is Obama really our President or are we in a period of Interregnum? By requirement of the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, no one can be sworn into office as president of the United States without being a natural born citizen.
Why has Congress and the Electoral College been so sloppy with procedure. Is obtaining the complete birth certificate of the man in the White House somehow Classified or a Top Secret issue? The question is a serious one.
Hawaii at the time of Obama’s birth allowed births that took place in foreign countries to be registered in Hawaii. There is no reference to a hospital associated with Obama’s birth. African relatives claim that they were present at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya for his arrival? No answers here; only questions as to the sealing of his birth certificate records by Govenor Linda Lingle of Hawaii. Her stated reason; fear of Identity theft. Give me a break!
Obama’s autobiography states that his mother was a minor and his father a citizen of Kenya. The actual hospital records on a long-form birth certificate can establish Constitutional legitimacy and certainty that Obama Hussein Obama is indeed our President. Is it too much for a citizen to ask?
Magical Aura? – G 20 Dream
The G 20 Summit gathers the nations (a group of 20: Argentina, Australia,Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia,Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Korea, Turkey,the United States, and European Union. The world will make a fuss and then the world will little note, nor long remember what they do there. Or, is that just wishful thinking?
Our President will grace them with his presence, but will they recognize the Messiah? The magical aura of campaign America is gone. Billions of dollars are gone! The post of ”whipping boy” is still open.” That may be all Obama needs to get his foot in the door. Obama can cry: “Mea culpa! Mea culpa! I will take the blame—My Country did it! But that was then, and this is now— I have a vision!”
Back in America, we are getting the picture. We grasp the dream, the vision, the mania. My guess is more than half the country rejects it. Some are too proud to admit their mistake, especially those of the mainstream media who paved his way. This is not a man who represents the people, all the people. He represent himself and an agenda. He is selling his vague vision wrapped in high sounding words, and smiles, and flash.
Poor America! Without a free, inquisitive, thinking press, the vision grows, under-investigated, and unchecked, and America’s dream will be signed away on foreign shores.
Be Holy!
