Remember how the president promised you that no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions and that federal conscience laws will remain in place? The Washington Examiner reported Feb. 22 that the president and his staff have met at least four times with Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards.

President Obama is pushing for the passage of the Senate health care legislation, which does not include the strong anti-aborition language in the House bill. President Obama promised transparancy, yet there are a closed door meetings on the part of Congress trying to pass health care legislation.

Actions speak louder than words. The president's actions show his words can't be believed. It a shame the next presidential election is more than two years away.
