The Balls On This F'n Guy

Ace rightly excoriated President Obama's caricature of the right as people who just want to bomb all the things, but let's pay a little visit to his appeal to the left in last night's speech.

And so to my friends on the right, I ask you to reconcile your commitment to America's military might with a failure to act when a cause is so plainly just.

To my friends on the left, I ask you to reconcile your belief in freedom and dignity for all people with those images of children writhing in pain and going still on a cold hospital floor, for sometimes resolutions and statements of condemnation are simply not enough. (emphasis added)

Really, Barack Obama. Really?

Because the Obama I know couldn't give two shits about children dying on cold hospital floors ... or in hospital utility rooms, anyway.

HANNITY: You tell the story -- a hard-wrenching story about a about a down syndrome baby you found.

STANEK: Yes.

HANNITY: . that was living, that had been abandoned in the soiled utility room at the hospital that you ended up cradling and rocking and holding for the 45 minutes that this baby lived.

Tell us that story.

STANEK: One night a nursing coworker was taking a little baby boy who had been aborted alive at -- between 21 and 22 weeks because he had down syndrome to our soiled utility room to die because his parents didn't want to hold him, and she didn't have time to hold him that night, and when she told me what she was doing, I couldn't bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone, and so I did cradle and rock him for the 45 minutes that he lived.

State Senator Barack Obama had the chance to act on this, but when the time came he voted "present" on Illinois' Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

Yet now, when he needs to tug at heartstrings to get his own ass out of the crack his mouth put him into, he's all For the Children. Give me a break.
