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.

his first EO was to lift the ban against killing babies in other countries? this was such a pressing issue on his mind that it topped his list??

i guess the culture of death isn’t meeting their quota and wants to expand to new markets.

and doesn’t this make him a baby killer? can we start calling the libs baby killers now? (that’d be so rich)

here’s a thought... why is my tax money killing foreign babies? why doesn’t their government kill their babies for them?

i’m just asking...

They thought Obama’s “Change” would miraculously be exactly what they dreamed in their little heads full of Hope.

I’m waiting for code punk to call for his impeachment because of the rockets into Pakistan and the coming build-up in Afghanistan.

I think we got a glimpse of one of Jesus’ “will implementers” in this last election.

That would seriously explain the reaction of Satan’s minions to her.

Glad you caught that too. I too was wondering how could they approve of his first days in office when the only two actions he took they vehemently oppose? This is as insane as all of the polls showing the high ratings for his handling of the transition.

Now, let's see, how could John Q Public know f all about how he was handling the transition? Is not that much of a public spectacle after all. Could it be that's what Katie, Tom, Brian, Keith, Chris and Georgie S told them? After all the public part I saw had him nominating 2 Cabinet postions with persons who had to withdraw under scandal and 4 others; Hillary, Eric, Carol and Tim that, in any normal sense of the world should have had no chance for confirmation.

That’s why I keep hanging in there. That’s why I keep my faith and my word. That’s why (in spite of every bait that is put out there) I don’t take it. That’s why I live and breathe — if it weren’t for Him, this would have been a major waste of my time.

King Hussein doesn't need the permission of the American people. He rules by fiat.

They thought they were sick of bad Iraq news and bad economic news and that McCain is old and cranky.

Yup. Sort of like driving your car off a cliff with your family in it because the engine has a rod knocking and the wheels are out of alignment.

Very, very intelligent, the American electorate is. Very, very intelligent.

(not)

[samtheman]

Most of them had no clue what they were voting for besides “the cool black guy”

Decades of NEA indoctrination in the "schools" paid off big for the commie-party this time around.

As the reality of electing the zero settles in.

What they hell did they think they were getting on Election Night?????

“his first EO was to lift the ban against killing babies in other countries? this was such a pressing issue on his mind that it topped his list??”

Yes, that and kiss in the a$$ of the world’s muslims.

And it will happen again and again, too.
