Barack Obama paid a solemn visit this morning to Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust museum, laying a white flower wreath on a memorial to Jews killed by the Nazis.
"Let our children come here and know this history so they can add their voices to proclaim never again," Obama wrote in the Jerusalem museum's guest book.

6 Million Jews were annihilated. Obama mourns.
Nearly 50 Million abortions have been performed in the U.S. since 1973. The Centers for Disease Control reported that in 1993, over 17,000 abortions were performed at 21 weeks and later.
This is Partial-Birth Abortion, a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living baby feet-first out of the womb and into the birth canal, except for the head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix. The abortionist punctures the base of the baby's skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trochar. He then inserts a tube into the wound, and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine. This causes the skull to collapse, after which the abortionist completes the delivery of the now-dead baby.
Obama's record on abortion is extreme. He opposed the ban on partial-birth abortion -- a practice a fellow Democrat, the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan, once called "too close to infanticide." (Washington Post)
So, was Obama actually making a political move at the Holocaust Museum? Surely he does not hold life as something to be honored or protected. Ironically, he voiced his sorrow for those killed in the Holocaust but has his hand in killing millions of babies right here in the U.S.
