Clearly the left and the media did a fantastic job creating an atmosphere of financial doom and gloom, a situation that was primarily caused by dem home loan edicts forced upon banks during the clinton administration. Most of clinton’s administration ended up with positions with Freddie or Fannie and got out with handsome golden parachutes.
I pledged long ago never to judge others, however I do pray for those Catholics who ignored basic, intrinsic Catholic edict on the sanctity of life to show distaste for spineless Republicans and worse yet, elect a person who in addition to having one of the highest pro-death voting records in the senate, actually stated that if a baby was “accidently” born alive as a result of a botched abortion, it should be the decision of the person who gave birth to that child and her doctor whether or not the child should be allowed to live or die.
Obama never provided any specific remedy for our nation’s or the world’s financial condition prior to the election, but he had a proven track record showing that in his opinion, contrary to the Declaration of Independence, the unborn are NOT, “Endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...”.

Excellent points Coleus.
There is an excellent pro-life video out by CatholicVote...have you seen it?
exactly....see my tagline
Protecting the weakest amongst us and being tough on terrorists. That’s his motto.
Any comment from Doug Kmiec on what Doug predicted would be the “most pro life President” in history.
No offense taken. It is the uneducated, uniformed catholics, as well as all other denominations, that vote pro choice.
Many have decided that these issues are irrelevant to them, or they have something more important like, taxes, entitlement spending, or some other issue at the forefront of their brains, so they fail to properly form their conscience when voting.
Practicing catholics and other denominations, who have properly formed their consciences, will vote life issues over all others. The reason for this is because if your not right on life, what is left to fight for? Your dead.
One day, an accounting of our voting record will be used in our judgement day (every thought,word and deed) I hardly think God is going to want to hear that you voted for lower taxes or gas prices.......
For all questions posed above, see the communist manifesto for your answers. Posted many times on FR....

The “Commander in Chump” does not realize the Karma he is creating. Very very dangerous, indeed.

MEMORANDUM FOR
THE SECRETARY OF STATE
THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
SUBJECT: Mexico City Policy and Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning
The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151b(f)(1)), prohibits nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that receive Federal funds from using those funds “to pay for the performance of abortions as a method of family planning, or to motivate or coerce any person to practice abortions.” The August 1984 announcement by President Reagan of what has become known as the “Mexico City Policy” directed the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to expand this limitation and withhold USAID funds from NGOs that use non-USAID funds to engage in a wide range of activities, including providing advice, counseling, or information regarding abortion, or lobbying a foreign government to legalize or make abortion available. The Mexico City Policy was in effect from 1985 until 1993, when it was rescinded by President Clinton. President George W. Bush reinstated the policy in 2001, implementing it through conditions in USAID grant awards, and subsequently extended the policy to “voluntary population planning” assistance provided by the Department of State.
These excessively broad conditions on grants and assistance awards are unwarranted. Moreover, they have undermined efforts to promote safe and effective voluntary family planning programs in foreign nations. Accordingly, I hereby revoke the Presidential memorandum of January 22, 2001, for the Administrator of USAID (Restoration of the Mexico City Policy), the Presidential memorandum of March 28, 2001, for the Administrator of USAID (Restoration of the Mexico City Policy), and the Presidential memorandum of August 29, 2003, for the Secretary of State (Assistance for Voluntary Population Planning). In addition, I direct the Secretary of State and the Administrator of USAID to take the following actions with respect to conditions in voluntary population planning assistance and USAID grants that were imposed pursuant to either the 2001 or 2003 memoranda and that are not required by the Foreign Assistance Act or any other law: (1) immediately waive such conditions in any current grants, and (2) notify current grantees, as soon as possible, that these conditions have been waived. I further direct that the Department of State and USAID immediately cease imposing these conditions in any future grants.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
