President Obama’s Expected Executive Orders

It is expected that sometime tomorrow or Friday that President Obama will sign an executive order to lift the ban of foreiegn aid to abortions which should upste pro-lifers, including myself. This was expected of course, but will still have a ripple efect among conservative pro-lifers nonetheless.

Another executive order expected to be signed by President Obama is the lifting of the ban of federal money towards embryonic stem cell research. This being another pro-life stabbing that we can expect this week. Perhaps the most controversial executive order to our country is to come to pass this week as well. The banning of offshore and oil exploration in such places as Utah. Most Americans agree with this oil exploration and we shall see what Americans think when this passes the wire.

I want to believe the best about our new president, but some things I am just not able to swallow. Small voices like mine may mean nothing in the public eye of course, but I will be praying for a change of direction in the moral fabric of our nation.

Hudson Plane Crash

I am watching the news and breaking news came across about a US Airways plane crashing in the Hudson River by 50th St and made it’s way to 13th Street. The plane was on ot’s way to Charlotte, North Carolina and crashed with minutes of taking off from LaGuardia Airport.

The pilots should get a medal for this one, the pilot navigated the plane as close to the banks of the rivers as possible and everyone survived… everyone! Crazy stuff. Thank God! Fortunately the crash was not due to an act of terrorism, but rather a tough flock of Geese. I am glad that the passengers are all safe, but the Hudson River is pretty disgusting and the freezing temperatures could not have been helpful.

I can imagine the NYC Greyhound terminals will get some business tonight, cause I know I would not want to get on a plane anytime soon after experiencing that.
