Can any one combine the audio of Obummer giving a speech on expanding abortion access with the video of him using these children as pawns for gun control? That would certainly show the hypocrite that he is.

Jennifer Bush was taken from her family in 1996 and her mother was accused of causing her to undergo unnecessary medical treatment, in a rare form of child abuse known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Prosecutors said Bush intentionally made the girl sick and poisoned her with doses of an anti-seizure medicine.

Bush, who denies she ever harmed her daughter, was convicted of aggravated child abuse and served more than three years in prison.

Kathy and Jennifer Bush have not seen each other since 1999 but have been exchanging letters under a therapist’s supervision for the past year. Bush is barred from seeing her daughter while she serves five years of probation.

Now that Jennifer Bush is an adult and has completed counseling, she wants to reunite with her mother, and they both want to attend an upcoming family event, said prosecutor Dennis Nicewander.

Formerly of Coral Springs, Kathy Bush now lives in Georgia with her husband, Craig, and their two sons, Jason and Matthew. Jennifer Bush lives in another state and does not want her location revealed. In a message she had prosecutors pass on to the newspaper, she said she wants to live the rest of her life “out of the spotlight.” She also said she wants to slowly assimilate into her family.

During the hearing, the judge asked several times whether anyone involved in the case had any concerns that Jennifer Bush could suffer psychological or physical harm.

The attorneys assured the judge that, while no one can predict the future, they think it is safe and advisable for mother and daughter to reconcile.

By the time Jennifer was eight years old, she had spent 640 days in hospitals and had undergone more than 40 surgeries. She had had her appendix, gall bladder, and part of her intestines removed due to what doctors believed was a gastrointestinal disorder. She was fed through a feeding tube.

Nurses and doctors testified they suspected Kathy Bush tampered with her daughter’s feeding pump, and gave her unprescribed medication. One nurse testified that she once heard Jennifer yelling, “No Mommy, No,” inside her hospital room.

From as early as 6 months of age, Jennifer was in and out of hospitals with a variety of ailments. After Kathy lost her job as a pediatrician’s office manager in 1993, she began caring for her full-time. Frustrated by her inability to secure health insurance for Jennifer, Kathy wrote to Hillary Clinton. Soon afterward, the Children’s Defense Fund invited mother and daughter to the lobbying event in Washington, where Kathy and Jennifer also testified before Congress about health care costs.

Meanwhile, back in Coral Springs, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Jennifer’s plight was attracting media attention—and more than $10,000 in charitable donations. Even as they accepted the money, say prosecutors, Kathy Bush and her husband, Craig. were installing a $20,000 swimming pool and buying a $25,000 motorcycle—purchases they say were not made with the donated money.

State officials investigated the matter as early as 1991 but, wary of the difficulty of proving such a case, didn’t take action until they received a complaint in April 1995 from a nurse at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Fla. Police arrested Kathy Bush in April 1996. Within days, Jennifer was sent to Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, which has a unit specializing in feeding disorders. After watching the girl down pizza, hot dogs and candy bars, doctors concluded her feeding tubes could be removed.

If thirty eight years olds say the government needs to take away bad bad guns, who are we to disagree?

How many of those kids went home afterwards and played their "Black Ops" video game.

Yes, don’t they have armed protection at his daughter’s school? I may be wrong but I thought I heard that on the news yesterday.
