There is no doubt Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl spot for Focus on the Family has stirred up quite the controversy. The National Organization for Women (NOW) has become a standard bearer in attempts to persuade CBS not to air the ad. NOW claims to support “reproductive rights,” and a mother’s “right to choose.” If the feminist group is really about choice, then I don’t understand why they are so opposed to Tebow’s message. I haven’t seen the ad, but from what I have read this is the basic gist: Tebow’s mother had complications during her pregnancy, and was advised to abort Tim. Mrs. Tebow chose to carry the child to term. Mrs. Tebow was blessed with the joys of choosing life, and her son, Tim, went on to become an excellent athlete. Fade to black. If NOW is dedicated to promoting a woman’s “right to choose,” then why can’t the group respect Mrs. Tebow’s “right to choose” life?

Obama Didn’t Get the Message
At over an hour in length, President Obama’s State of the Union address revealed one thing: he hasn’t been paying attention to the will of the American people. The President was quick to remind us of the dire economic conditions he “inherited” from his predecessor. He failed to acknowledge that his policies have produced no demonstrable economic recovery as evidenced by continued job losses, even in the holiday season, and 10% unemployment. While the stimulus failed to keep unemployment below 8%, the President touted the measure as a success, and called for another “jobs bill” to be delivered to his desk as soon as possible.
The President continued blaming former President Bush by asserting that the trillions of dollars in deficit spending racked up over the past year were the result of his predecessor’s “tax cuts” and failing to “pay for two wars.” The “Stimulus bill” and spending hikes by the Democrat controlled Congress are the more accurate contributors to our current fiscal woes. The TARP bill also played a role, and was signed under the former President. However, it had the full support of Obama and his transition team and was touted–wrongly–as a necessary measure to save our financial systems.

Who is Obama Talking To?
The above clip is from the President’s “meeting” with the twelve-member “Middle Class Task Force” headed by Vice President Joe Biden, but you’d be easily forgiven for being unable to deduce the context from the video alone. Where are the questions? Where is the free exchange of ideas between the various representatives? And if the President needs neither, if the President doesn’t even need to attend the meeting to know what to do for our nation, the why not just “get it done?”

Biden: All Our Problems were Inherited, and Campaign Promises Don’t Matter
The following is a clip from a meeting of the “Middle Class Task Force.” This is the same meeting at which the President used a TelePrompter to address a dozen people.
According to Biden:
- Even after over a year in office, all of the Obama Administration’s problems have been inherited from his predecessor.
- Campaign promises, aka “the reason we ran,” really aren’t that important as long as the Administration keeps its “eye on the ball.”
