President Obama has time to apologize to Sandra Fluke, the deprived Georgetown University Law School student. Apparently, though, no time for tornado victims, grieving families of soldiers murdered in Afghanistan, the Syrian opposition, stopping Iran’s nuclear ambitions, protecting Israel, authorizing Keystone, reducing spending and the $16T debt?
Phoning Fluke
By Asher Embry
Our heartland towns were ripped to shred;
The homes demolished, dozens dead.
The Muslim World is more aflame.
Iran still plays its doomsday game.
In Homs, the death toll surges higher.
The Afghan situation’s dire.
And higher still the gas price goes;
So, too, the debt the U.S. owes.
Yet, nonetheless, Obama took
The time to ring up Sandra Fluke
To urge she wage her noble fight
Forever to enshrine the right
To study law and fornicate
Wherever she’d matriculate
(With contraceptives free of cost
No matter other freedoms lost).
It’s comforting Obama sees
His critical priorities.

Censoring insensitive verse will be first on the list of Obuma's "to do" list in a 2nd term.
Robyn| 3.3.12 @ 12:10PM
As long as O is censoring First Amendment Freedom of Religion, kingsmill, why not also censor First Amendment protected Speech? At least then you and he would be consistent . . . .
Bill Hussein O'Stalin| 3.3.12 @ 12:15PM
That's why the President is a tramp.
JJ| 3.3.12 @ 12:18PM
I think Obama wanted in on the action.
l5j6f7| 3.3.12 @ 1:31PM
Rush was making a rhetorical point. He said (paraphrase): What do you call a woman who wants money for sex? A prostitute, a slut". I see nothing wrong with what he siad. Fluke is no "delicate flower". She's a hard-core, liberal activist, hand-picked by Nancy "Botox" Pelosi to "testify" for free contraception in Obamacare.
PL| 3.3.12 @ 3:54PM
She is also someone who specifically TARGETED (yes, there is that word again) Georgetown University as an academic institution with Catholic underpininnings. Her goal even before reaching Georgetown for her first law semester was a project like this to STICK IT IN THE EYE AND FACE of a Christian ethical entity.
Sure, Georgetown is another watered-down place for Catholicism and most students don't believe anything. If Ms. Fluke wanted to study law, there are countless other utterly secular schools she could have chosen.
This is a big part of the Ms. Fluke story that no one is presenting. (Why?) Ms. Fluke attending Georgetown is no accident; she's done this to enshrine her name as a giant in the fight to kick Christianity to the curb in America. This is just the pinnacle now of her three year onslaught. She wants this glory; she wants this chapter dedicated to her.
Bob| 3.3.12 @ 8:09PM
What she wants in this is irrelevant. She is the latest pawn in the Democrats' plan to turn the major issue of this election into contraception, instead of Obama's pitiful handling of the economy or Obama's weak foreign policy.
PL| 3.3.12 @ 11:07PM
She isn't a pawn, Bob. Sure, she's not as savvy as lifetime pols in D.C. that are 55 and 60 years old. But she's old enough to know exactly what is going on here. Nobody forced her to come make a statement. She should be focusing on her studies and what happens after law school. She's been a willful, deliberate hard left activist at Georgetown since her arrival there.
I point this out so that no one should have a scintilla of sympathy for her.
You should be astute enough to know that this was part of the plan. The Demoncrats/liberals plan is not just to get the false issue "women's health" into the forefront but do so at the expense of Christian faith institutions.
And, yes, of course this is to distract from a pitiful jobs situation, jobs going overseas, companies going overseas, home foreclosures, $16+ trillion debt, etc., etc.
Rick V.| 3.3.12 @ 3:19PM
Maybe I missed the original story, but where did the FBPOTUS (First Black President of the United States) get her number? I'm sure Bill Clinton's got it on speed dial.

The faux controversy-distraction- was all well rehearsed and preplanned
Bob K.| 3.3.12 @ 10:06PM
Indeed!
And with much help and support from the "conservative" bloggers here on A.S.

Today the Washington Post pretends to be offended by Limbaugh's remarks.... but last June they loved "slutwalks".

Excellent wording. Excellent sentiment expressed, Ms. Embry.
You have just conveyed what millions of Americans also believe.
Please continue. Your good verse can have as much if not more effect on focusing people on what is important. Thank you for sharing this with us.
bluecollarbytes| 3.3.12 @ 6:08PM
I have no idea whether Sandra Fluke is a slut and/or prostitute, but Limbaugh has apologized for speculating out loud that she was one.
Knowing Rush's humor and methods, I never thought he seriously thought she was anything more than a self-indulgent trollop looking for cameras. But PopMedia, and Obama, smelled blood...finally, after wishin and a hopin for years.
this will pass as soon as breitbart's obama tapes hit the fan.
Bob| 3.3.12 @ 8:07PM
Where is Aaron Goldstein apologizing for Rush Limbaugh, or commenting on Rush's apology?
Fluke is an invented persona. The real fluke is a 30-year old bitter feminist who enrolled in Georgetown precisely to force them to change. She was invented to push Obama's contraception attack on conservatives. You can trace it all back to Stephanopoulos's seemingly bizarre question in a debate in January: do states have the right to ban contraception? Not bizarre anymore when you put it in context, and Fluke is the latest actor brought in to push this storyline, portrayed as the victimized 23-year old attacked by the vicious Limbaugh and needing the President's protection against those hateful people against contraception.
It's sickening that these tactics are working on people today. Even Aaron Goldstein was baited into playing along.
Bob| 3.3.12 @ 9:35PM
Congrats on Fluke beating what's his name?What's his name is a fat over the hill pig. Sponsors pulled out forcing the white flag to go up. The laws of capitalistic greed forced what's his name to surrender and money certainly does talk and I love it. I just put on my contraceptive, nighty night.

I have had it with the so called Conservatives who think that Rush or any other commentator should apologize for no more a remark than Obama and his minions make. This why the Republican Party is not a viable opposition Party. No more.
