Obama can donate his own money

I fear that the IDS staff editorial board is comprised of politically correct, daydreaming students with half a page to fill with ink everyday. 

I was thoroughly disappointed to see how shallow the editors really are: “There’s much positive in Obama’s decision to fund worldwide organizations that provide abortions.” Your headline implies that Obama has solely made the decision to fund worldwide health organizations with his pocketbook and that this is a good thing.

I think that it would be fantastic if Obama was so generous to donate a percentage of his income to health organizations around the world.

Wait ... we are paying money to take care of people in other countries while we can’t pay our own hospital bills?

I don’t believe I’ve ever read the version of the Constitution that elects men to philanthropize with tax-paying money in the midst of an economic recession, nor the section of the IDS that makes compelling arguments on any issues.
