It was comical and at the same time painful to watch since this boob is suppose to be representing our country. Only in obamaland does one think you can talk through another country's national anthem.
Hey I didn't want you to be misled on the whole "Obama voted to deny lifesaving support to victim's of botched abortion's thing." In the Illinois legislature. He voted against the bill because there was already a law on the books saying medical care for such victims was necessary and because there was no provision for the mother's health on the said bill. I'm always iffy about when people say "a certain politician voted THIS way" because the American legal system is a joke when it comes to writing laws. There are so many amendments and additions to a bills that you can easily make it seem like the politician supports something they really do not.
I've included a text from the website http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Barack_Obama_Abortion.htm
"McCAIN: Sen. Obama, as a member of the Illinois State Senate, voted against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born of a failed abortion. He voted against that. Then there was another bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the state of Illinois not that long ago, where he voted against a ban on partial-birth abortion. That's a matter of his record.
OBAMA: If it sounds incredible that I would vote to withhold lifesaving treatment from an infant, that's because it's not true. There was a bill that said you have to provide lifesaving treatment. The fact is that there was already a law on the books in Illinois that required providing lifesaving treatment, which is why not only myself but pro-choice Republicans and Democrats voted against it. With respect to partial-birth abortion, I am completely supportive of a ban on late-term abortions, as long as there's an exception for the mother's health and life, and this bill did not contain that exception"
