Poll: Americans Oppose Obama's First Two Executive Orders President Obama's first two executive orders -- allowing federal funding for overseas abortions and closing Guantanamo -- have been met with widespread opposition, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Though President Obama has garnered widespread support for his early actions in office, Americans strongly oppose the commander-in-chief's first two executive orders -- allowing federal funding for overseas abortions and closing Guantanamo -- according to a poll released Tuesday.

Fifty-eight of Americans said they disagreed with the president's decision to give overseas funding to family planning organizations that provide abortions, according to a Gallup poll published Tuesday.

Obama signed an order Jan. 23 reversing the "Mexico City policy" -- a prohibition first implemented by Ronald Reagan, which forbade the U.S. government from sending money to overseas family-planning organizations that perform abortions or offer abortion counseling. The ban, which once was lifted when Bill Clinton took office, was later re-established by George W. Bush in 2001.

The poll also found that more Americans -- 50 percent to 44 percent --oppose the President's decision to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects within in a year -- a sign that the president's first two executive orders may be off mark.

King said he lived for the day when “a man would be judged by the content of his character - not the color of his skin”.
So what do all the blacks do? Vote for the color of the skin rather than the content of the character. Amazing? Not really.

So how many Americans (unrepetant Capitalists) did Bill Ayers say they’d have to exterminate to get America “rebuilt”?

There are several steps they'd have to go through in order to
Dalek exterminate Pictures, Images and Photos

Americans.

Starting with gun registration and confiscation.

Let’s be honest a lot of Americans are acting like uninformed idiots.

They approve his first days in office, they just oppose what he’s done during his first days in office!

Sadly, that is the truth. More and more starry-eyed African Americans are learning that daily. More and more starry-eyed Catholics are realizing they weren't thinking with their heads. More and more starry-eyed Far Left Wingers are finding out they were sold out. More and more disenfranchised Republicans are finding out the punishment they were hoping to inflict on the nation and RINOs has consequences and there is guilt by association.

I'm truly sorry for what has happened. I'm truly sorry the “Not Ready For Prime Time Players” are in charge. If the consequences weren't so horrifying, I'd laugh.

You all think this is bad? Wait until the Executive Order comes that bans importation of any foreign firearms, ammunition of components of either for civilian use. That, combined with a registration bill and AWB II will make a lot of federal employees instantly popular with the gun owners of this country...kind of like deer are popular during the right season in most of the country.

Class A, Grade A disaster, that’s what this guy is. A walking fustercluck.

“If God chooses mercy, 0bama will have only one term,

and it will be in such turmoil that nothing will “get done”.

There is a silver lining to the cloud — we're too broke to do too much — oh, wait — they're printing money. Never mind.

This last election made me realize what “Kingdom” that I belong to, and it isn’t an earthly one.

I’m sitting back and watching this drunk we call American society destroy itself through its own choices, knowing that there is nothing I can do until it chooses to stop making those decisions.

Like what? I don't remember anything he's done other than to undermine our security, morals, and economy. And, BTW, Mark Steyn just said on Rush's show that the IRS should hire Obambi's transition team since they are so good at identifying tax cheaters. LOL!

“So why in hell did so many American sheep vote for him?”

It only proves what we said all along, those that voted for him had no idea what his policies were.

They voted for a celebrity and like most celebrities he is an empty soul.

Yeah, the lefties caused me to sit out the late 60s and the 70s, and now I'm considering another 4-8 years. Well, I have determined to try stay in the game although I'm not certain what's left to work with. I'm starting to feel like Dagny Taggart — just won't stop, must not stop — waiting for Galt. Hello? Anybody??? (Crickets)

Jesus said it would get darker and darker before His return,

and His lights will shine all the more brightly in that darkness.

Jesus would be wicked cool, but I'd settle for the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan.
