Proof! Obama clueless on abortion issue

Most voters and Catholics oppose a president who doesn't know when life begins and would reject legal recognition of same-sex marriage, according to a new poll.

The ATI-News/Zogby poll, commissioned for WND Books' latest release, "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values," confirms a large number of voters take issue with Sen. Barack Obama's stance on abortion.

A nationwide study of 1,084 voters from Aug. 22 – 24 asked the following question:

Recently, Barack Obama was asked when he thought life begins, in reference to the issue of abortion. Obama responded by saying that decision was above his pay grade. Knowing that the next president may be able to appoint two or three U.S. Supreme Court Justices, who may be called to make rulings on the issue of abortion, do you support or oppose a president who does not know when life begins?

A full 55 percent of respondents said they would oppose such a president, while 28 percent said they would support him. Among voters who identified themselves as Catholic, 67 percent objected to having a leader with such views, and 19 percent said they would support him.

"It's sad that a man would run for president having considered the key questions that drive someone to become a Christian," said ATI-News president and "The Audacity of Deceit" author Brad O'Leary.

On the question of same-sex marriage, voters were asked, "Would you support or oppose a ballot measure in your state that stipulates only marriage between a man and a woman will be legally recognized?"

Approximately 58 percent of respondents said they would support a proposal to recognize only marriages between straight couples, while 36 percent of likely voters would reject it. Sixty percent of Catholic voters expressed support for such a measure, and 36 percent opposed one.

O'Leary said, "This bodes well for California and the people who are working on the ballot initiative in that state because our poll results show that 58 percent of the people nationally support such a ballot measure."

In "The Audacity of Deceit," author Brad O'Leary demonstrates how Obama's campaign promises on a number of issues would affect average Americans should the Democrat be elected president.

O'Leary, the former NBC Westwood One talk show host who has authored 11 books and penned political columns for USA Weekend that drew 90 million readers, looked at the potential consequences of an Obama administration and reached the following conclusions:

Obama will be a radical on the abortion issue as signaled by his blocking of emergency medical aid for babies who survive abortion;
Obama will attempt to ban the use of firearms for defense by law-abiding citizens;
Obama will raise tax rates up to 60 percent;
Obama will push for health care reforms that will let government determine which procedures and operations senior citizens are allowed to have;
Obama will "transform the U.S. Treasury into the United Nations' ATM";
Obama will choke off America's domestic energy resources, sending gas, electricity and food prices through the roof;
Obama will raise the percentage of Americans who pay no taxes at all, from 30 percent to 40 percent – at the expense of those who do;
Obama will transfer child-rearing responsibility and authority from parents to the federal government with his "0 to 5" program.

In one chapter of "The Audacity of Deceit" called "The Barack Obama Test," O'Leary gathers results from America's top pollsters, including Zogby, Rasmussen, Gallup and CNN, demonstrating how Obama's positions on a broad array of issues are in stark contrast to the values held by the vast majority of Americans.

People can see the contrast for themselves at www.BarackObamaTest.com, where visitors can take a 39-question survey to see how closely their values line up with Obama's professed positions.

The book's website also allows anyone to download a free chapter of their choice from the book, including a chapter with exclusive Zogby polls – never before published and available nowhere else – that detail the differences in political views between the 70 percent of Americans who pay federal income taxes and the 30 percent who do not.

Through the poll results, O'Leary reveals for the first time who the non-taxpaying Americans are – detailing their income levels, education, marital status, and even religious practices – and who they plan to vote for.

"The Audacity of Deceit" is set for nationwide release Tuesday, Sept. 9, but the book is immediately available from WND's online store, Shop.WND.com, at a reduced price of just $19.99.
