Obama to Lift Ban on Overseas Abortion Funding

"President Obama on Friday is expected to lift a ban on federal funding for international groups that promote or perform abortions, reversing a policy of his predecessor, George W. Bush." More can be read in this article from fox news.

Great-now our money will go to killing unborn babies. Pfft.

$100,000

I was just watching CNN, and they were talking about Obama and Michell's "transition to power." They went on to talk about how all the families that get into the whitehouse get to redecorate. Everything.FUN!! I'm so jealous. The first Lady receives a $100,000 expense to redecorate her living spaces. Wow! How fun would that be?? Such a historic building, and you can put your own fingerprint on it...that is, if you are the first Lady. And get this, the kids-each of them get to redecorate their bedrooms however they want to. Can you imagine what is going through these little kids mind's?? They are moving into the whitehouse. Their dad is President-Elect. And they get to redecorate their own bedrooms, by themselves. LOVE.IT. I can't even imagine what Alana would do to her room. It would be a bubbly, pink, glittery, furry barage of disney characters. I personally can't imagine what I would do. Maybe modernize my spaces a bit, and have hiphop and R & B playing at a low volume all the time, yeah! They showed some glimpses of the living spaces, and they are very, very, traditional, just look at that pic above. What would you do to your Whitehouse living space? Maybe add some casual Fridays?

Really?

I don't even know where to begin. Last night history was made. We live in downtown charleston, sc and we were awoken last night at 2 am with a fireworks show. Usually we would be really excited about that kind of thing, but not at 2 am and especially not when it wakes up my kids.

I admit I have had to read my own last blog post, many, many times over. My own "anger" is a tricky little sucker and sometimes hard to keep calm. Anyone that knows me knows that I, like everyone else, have opinions. I just like to say them outloud. I try to make it so it doesn't offend people, but I am not perfect so sometimes I'm sure they do. The Lord is working on that with me every day.

I know there is a purpose for everything under the sun, and I know there is a purpose with Obama being our next President. What it is, I do not know yet, and may never know. I am just really worried about some things that may come into play, and frankly, it really scares me. I hope and pray that congress is on the ethical and moral side of these issues for the next 4 years.

I think why I am so defensive of my Republican party is the fact that I have served, and I know all too well how we are to look at our Commander in Chief. Next to God, I am supposed to look at this person for leadership, and a million other things. I am to salute him, stand at attention, and say, "yes, mr. president, no, mr. president. yes sir, no sir." When I served in the United States Marine Corps, (while I never met any presidents) I did meet some very important people, and just knowing where they stood on many things, I could say with pride, those above words. The military and this nation have alot of my heart, and I worry about them like I worry about my own family. I am so proud to be an American. I know first hand the sacrifice that is made when they sign up to selflessly serve our country. I just hope that our President elect feels the same way.
