Behind Closed Doors

President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum behind closed doors. Unlike all the other orders he's signed in this first partial week of his presidency, this order was purposefully signed, according to Bill Burton, a White House spokesperson, "without coverage by the media, late on Friday afternoon.”

Why was this done away from the cameras and reporters? Because it's a shameful act. The order was to restore government funding (i.e. our tax dollars) of international groups that distribute abortion information or perform abortions. It's something I'm sure he's not particularly proud of, especially in light of those who beg for him to put an end to the deaths of 1400 black children every day.

This week he also signed an executive order that Guantanamo Bay be closed within a year. Now, we've already released a number of detainees, 12% of which have gone back to Al Qaeda, including one just promoted to the "senior ranks of Al Qaeda in Yemen." Supposedly, we've released the ones seen as the "lowest threat." This leaves the worst of the worst still there. Many will be released while others may stand trial, but where will they go? (Will they be sent to federal prisons on American soil? Can you think of a more fertile ground for their message of warped Islam, violence, and hate than in the minds of disaffected offenders in a penitentiary?)

So, the same week he decides to close Guantanamo Bay and likely release enemy combatants only to scheme another terrorist attack, he approves more of our already misused tax dollars to be spent ripping off arms, legs and heads of more unborn children.
