Hope and Change? Not so much…
Really, Mr. President? Really?
President Obama has appointed Alexia Kelley, executive director of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good (CACG), to head the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the Department of Health and Human Services. Kelley is a leading proponent of “common ground” abortion reduction — only CACG’s common ground is at odds with that of Obama. While the administration favors reducing the need for abortion by reducing unintended pregnancies, Kelley has made clear that she seeks instead to reduce access to abortion. That is an extremely disturbing development, especially coming this week in the wake of George Tiller’s assassination.
[…]
Kelley and CACG have made clear they are committed to Catholic doctrine on abortion and birth control. CACG has supported the Pregnant Women’s Support Act, aimed at stigmatizing abortion and making it less accessible. In discussing legislation on reducing the need for abortion, Kelley has written that various pieces of legislation concerned with women’s health “are not all perfect; some include contraception — which the Church opposes.” Never mind that more than 90 percent of American Catholics use it anyway.
Way to give in to the terrorists, Mr. President.
Disappointing. Like your picture though.

Indeed. Ironically enough, I ripped the picture from Stalkin’ Malkin’s blog and ran it through the Obamicon site. Seemed appropriate at the time. I have a similar picture that I produced in a similar way (no making the hit counter on Malkin’s site spin for that one) to go with my “Obama Derangement Syndrome” category.
