It's not an empty chair that should be the focus of President Barack Obama's last State of the Union address tonight, but an empty cradle.
In consideration of Obama's intensely pro-abortion presidency; in searing memory of the closing words of his 2013 Planned Parenthood address: "Thank you, Planned Parenthood, God bless you", the symbolic chair he is having placed center stage to represent those who lost their lives to gun violence, is as phony as the artificial tears he supposedly 'wept' at last Monday's gun control press conference.
"There were 13,348 deaths due to firearms in 2015, which comes to approximately 37 per day. By contrast, 1.1 million people were killed by abortion in 2010 (the most recent year with available data), or approximately 3,014 deaths per day. Further, the actual abortion numbers are likely higher due to several states, including Maryland and California, not reporting abortion data at all.(LiveActionNews, Jan. 11, 2016)
"Planned Parenthood alone performed 323,999 abortions in 2015, which is 24 times the number of gun deaths emphasized by President Obama, who last week vetoed legislation to defund the abortion giant and in 2013 declared, "Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you."
The empty chair routine as a prop is hardly original. The empty chair representing Obama used by actor/director Clint Eastwood at the August, 2012 Republican National Convention, attracted some 30 million Americans. (Wikipedia)
How typical of the no-ideas Marxist Obama to swipe the props of one of his own enemies..
There's just no getting around that no matter how deceitfully you try to present it, an empty chair could never be as heartbreakingly empty as a cradle.
The empty cradle, which no politician in attendance at the SOTU will have the intestinal fortitude to place in the empty chair next to Michelle Obama tonight, will still be within the clear view of the hearts of millions.
The truth, which never remains buried, has its own way of being heard. Among all the applause, including that of Planned Parenthood heavies who only a week ago got a guarantee for their ongoing funding, the truth has providential ways of being heard. The heart-rending cries of the approximate 3,014 babies claimed by abortion today, and the millions that came before them, will haunt all those of conscience amid the laughter, shouts of "Here, here!" and the harrumphing of politicians assembled.
Yet, amid the raucous laughter and applause on command, the sand in Obama's hourglass is running out. Tonight is the last SOTU he'll ever make, and there's a certain hope in knowing that, as bad as the still-to-come executive orders he will be bragging about, will still be his last.
Sidelining the attention of society's most tragic and helpless victims, babies ripped apart and sold for profit, is an impossibility even for power-obsessed Obama.
The spotlight on Obama's last State of the Union Address will also be on the hundreds of politicians from both sides of the aisle tonight, and the same spotlight will show an entire watching world that not one of them will have the intestinal fortitude to place the empty cradle where it truly belongs: on top of Obama's empty chair.
