Barack Obama: Gianna Jessen ad is vile, sleazy, despicable

You might remember the ad as I posted it some days ago:

Via Michelle Malkin, we learn that Obama has fought back:

Reaction from involved players was swift:

Statement from Gianna Jessen:

Mr. Obama is clearly blinded by political ambition given his attack on me this week. All I asked of him was to do the right thing: support medical care and protection for babies who survive abortion - as I did 31 years ago. He voted against such protection and care four times even though the U.S. Senate voted 98-0 in favor of a bill identical to the one Obama opposed. In the words of his own false and misleading ad, his position is downright vile. Mr. Obama said at the recent Saddleback Forum that the question of when babies should get human rights was above his pay grade. Such vacillation and cowardice in public policy almost left me to die and no one should have to go through what I went through.

Statement from Jill Stanek:

It is despicable, repulsive and beneath contempt that Barack Obama would attack Gianna Jessen. She is a courageous abortion survivor and living miracle who would not be with us today if Obama's policies had been in place when she was born. Mr. Obama continues to mislead the American people on this issue, he voted four times against medical care and protection for babies who survive abortions in the Illinois State Senate, while the U.S. Senate was voting 98-0 to pass an identical bill. Mr. Obama needs to come forward and tell the American people that he understands people like Gianna Jessen, and that he will support and enforce Born Alive Infant protections -- that these are living, breathing human beings who have come into our world and deserve protection in the law and should receive medical care at health care facilities. These babies have the same rights as the rest of us.

The lies chronicled in the Obama ad are numerous:

First lie in Obama ad: attributing the Gianna ad to John McCain, rather than BornAliveTruth.org.

Second lie: "votes taken out of context"? A vote cannot be taken out of context. It's a vote. Notice this is Obama's excuse for every indictment against him.

Third lie: "Obama has always supported medical care to protect infants."  FALSE.

Meanwhile, Clergy for Obama continue to ask the faithful to support the man:

If you hope for a civilization that will never subject a human to the indignities of torture, and that will testify to end the humiliation of the shackled…

…I invite you to touch the world with us.

If you hunger for a time when the people uphold the charge God gave to us to preserve and care for the creation…

…I invite you to work with us.

We can work to transcend the obstacles placed before us, we can work to elevate the places that others have been cast to within society, and we can work to bring about the change necessary to usher in a brighter world for all creation.

We are Clergy for Obama….I invite you to join us.

I'd like to see these misguided idiots extend their invitation to Gianna.

"If you hope for a civilization that will never subject a human to the indignities of torture"

I guess being pulled out of the womb, having scissors shoved into the back of your skull and your brains sucked without any kind of anesthetic isn't torture.

Thanks for enlightening me, Barry.

First of all: I'm sick and tired of Obama and his ilk using the term "anti-choice." Of course, I'm not surprised that they'd use this term. After all, "anti-murder" isn't very convenient. Is it?

Secondly: This is yet another reason why I believe our president is a despicable human being. I'm ashamed to call him my president. Here's hoping more and more people will wake up and realize just what kind of a person Obama really is, and that he will serve only one term as our president. Because goodness knows we don't need 8 years' worth of this monster leading our country even deeper into the pit.
