Obama Panders to Women
President Obama is considering submitting a $3.8 trillion budget on February 1st that exempts programs for women and girls from the spending freeze he proposed a few days ago. This is payback to women for voting for him and, more importantly, is also a way to appease women’s groups. Many of these groups are upset with Democrats because of the proposed restrictions on government paid abortion coverage in the health care bills.
This shows once again how little conviction the President has. Days after announcing a spending freeze to help with the budget deficit, he makes exceptions for his favorite voting block. It also proves that the little he tries to do always has a political calculus. He has had a completely unsuccessful first year and is well on his way to another one.
Republicans are exited about their prospects for 2010. However, I’m praying for 2012 to get here faster before President Obama completely destroys the country.

This president is completely clueless. He devoted an entire year to a health care plan which the majority of the country did not want. He is well on his way to another wasted year. I remember Obama’s criticism of Senator McCain’s government spending freeze idea during the presidential campaign. He praised the “positive role of government in improving people’s lives.” Bravo, President Obama for finally taking a suggestion from the more experienced Senator McCain! Maybe you should ask McCain what he thinks about your exceptions to spending freezes.
