NOW Freaking Over Obama Executive Order; Stupak's Political Cover Compromised in an Hour

Every Obama promise comes with an expiration date. Stupak's promised executive order is dying already.

National Organization for Women President Terry O'Neill issued a statement Sunday afternoon slamming President Obama, saying that he had broken his faith with women by agreeing to issue an executive order that prohibits federal funding for abortions.

Nah, you're reading this wrong - this is just additional political cover. By pretending outrage at the meaningless executive order, it makes it easier to act like it actually did something to the formerly pro-life Dims.

And Obama can simply rescind the executive order as soon as Stupak is no longer required.

There will be order to rescind. Once the bill is passed an signed there is no need for the EO or Stupak.

Exactly. An Executive Order cannot override legislation. Stupak is either dumber than a bag of hammers (unlikely) or believes that this fiction might give him enough cover to be re-elected. And, if he is defeated, I am sure there is a nice position waiting for him in Bammy's administration. Cowards and traitors fit right in there.

The only problem is that the GOP will prevent Stupak from ever being confirmed.
