Kind, caring, compassionate Obama calls abortion activist to offer his condolences over being called a slut....and ignores tornado victims. His priorities are clear - Politics first, nation second.
Obama Called Fluke but Said Nothing to Tornado Victims | The Blog on Obama: White House Dossier
President Obama Friday took time out of his day to make a politically motivated call a Georgetown Law student who had been insulted by Rush Limbaugh, but he failed to utter a single public statement or make any calls as far as we know related to the tornadoes raging the same day across the Midwest.
The tornadoes have so far killed at least 39 people. The Georgetown Law student had her feelings hurt.
The student, a reproductive rights activist named Sandra Fluke, was called a slut and and a prostitute by Limbaugh over her support for forcing religious institutions to cover birth control.
By phoning Fluke, Obama was helping steer controversy over the Obamacare birth control coverage mandate away from a discussion damaging to the president about forcing leaders of religious institutions to violate their conscience, and instead toward a battle over womens health rights.
But as he worked on his political objectives, Obama passed up several opportunities to mention the tornadoes, failing to appear at the White House and saying nothing about the storms during remarks Friday afternoon to a conservation conference at the Department of the Interior.
He didnt even release a written statement, though he managed to put out a Notice of Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to the Situation in Zimbabwe.
