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.

Judge Sotomayor Approved 68-31

The Democrats have flexed their muscle in the Senate and approved what is arguably the most liberal judge that has been nominated for the Supreme Court in decades. The vote yesterday was mostly along party lines. Much is being made about the fact that she is a woman and of Hispanic descent. I think that these two are really non-issues and should not count for or against her.

It always strikes me as ironic how the Democrats try to take credit for being progressive when it comes to women and minorities. The first woman appointed to the court was Sandra Day O’Connor and she was appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan. The first African-American Secretary of State; Colin Powell and the first black female Secretary of State; Condoleezza Rice were appointed by Republican President George W. Bush. President Bush also appointed Carlos Gutierrez—a Cuban-American as the first Secretary of Commerce.

But I digress, it is Judge Sotomayor’s activist record that is of grave concern to me and many other conservatives. The following clip shows that she believes in judicial activism and that she also realizes that it is not smart to admit it while cameras are rolling. She is also cocky enough to admit this fact and speak freely anyway.

I think we should all remember who voted for her during the next election and vote the scoundrels out. Senator John McCain—the man who should be President, voted against her nomination. I applaud him.

Senator Obama’s First Decision

One way to judge a presidential candidate is by the decisions that he makes. When Senator Obama became the presumptive nominee for the Democrat party, the first decision he had to make was who would be his running mate. The obvious and most intelligent choice would have been Hillary Clinton. She was strong in states where he was weak and she appealed to women nationally. Her choice would have made it practically impossible for Senator McCain to have a chance at winning the presidency.

Senator Obama’s decision is now history. For the vice presidential slot, he picked someone who was not threatening to him. He picked Senator Biden–someone who had run for president many times and garnered perhaps three votes (from family members). This decision shows more about Obama’s lack of leadership than anything else in his background. He is a weak leader who makes poor decisions. He did not want a strong woman or anyone else who could challenge his status as media darling.

I’m not saying that I would have wanted Senator Obama to pick Hillary. I do not like her politics or her power grab in New York. I am simply saying that by not selecting her, Obama showed how weak he is. He showed his fear of the Clintons. He also did not want someone who could overshadow him. The right decision for him would have been to pick the person that could clinch him the presidency. That person was, obviously, Senator Hillary Clinton.

Senator McCain has done the exact opposite. He has consistently taken chances and he picked someone who could bring new vigor to his campaign. He picked an unknown woman who is spirited, strong and who has convictions in her beliefs. Picking Sarah Palin brought him closer to winning the presidency. She electrified the Republican party and made even liberal women pay attention to a campaign that was a sleeper before her selection.

Sarah Palin is the popular Governor of Alaska. She has run campaigns and won. She has apportioned budgets and made major decisions. She is a real person with a real family and she scares liberal Democrats and their supporters. They should be scared. Senator McCain and Governor Palin are a winning combination. Once McCain-Palin win in November, Vice President Palin will be positioned to run for president in the future and it will be the Republican party that has the first female president. That will be history and Senator McCain’s decision to pick Governor Palin will be seen as brilliant and presidential. Senator Obama’s fateful decision will also be seen for what it is: a weak and fearful decision from someone who talked a good game and didn’t deliver.
