A Bush By Any Other Name, Part III

Unfortunately, even though our country currently has a war going and is on the brink of economic crisis, The President of The United States today released an official statement on the Terri Schiavo right-to die case.

Here is the full text of the official statement:

President's Statement on Terri Schiavo

The case of Terri Schiavo raises complex issues. Yet in instances like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life. Those who live at the mercy of others deserve our special care and concern. It should be our goal as a nation to build a culture of life, where all Americans are valued, welcomed, and protected - and that culture of life must extend to individuals with disabilities.

END OF STATEMENT

Here we have another instance of our President taking a "complex issue" and boiling it down to black and white. Did we elect him President, or did we elect him Moralist?

How anyone who can send American soldiers to die in a war that was not started in self-defense is beyond me can claim this kind of moral high ground, calling for a "culture of life", is beyond me.
