I’ve referred in earlier posts to the strange phenomena of Christians who voted for Obama<\/a>, and continue to support him, on the theory that while Obama is not himself pro-life, his policies will lead to less abortion.\u00a0\u00a0 By now, it should be clear to anyone that Obama’s policies will increase abortions, yet many of his ostensibly pro-life supporters continue to support him, surely a case of refusing to see what must be painful to acknowledge.\u00a0 And now, it’s difficult not to wonder if one of Obama’s chief “pro-life” supporters has been rewarded for his loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Douglas Kmiec of Pepperdine has been appointed by President Obama as Ambassador to Malta<\/a><\/p>\n

Douglas Kmiec, the conservative Pepperdine University law professor and prominent supporter of President Barack Obama, is likely headed to the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

The White House said today that Obama has chosen Kmiec as the new ambassador to Malta, the archipelago nation south of Italy. Though originally a supporter of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, Kmiec has been a high-profile defender of the Obama administration and its personnel choices. He recently has come to the defense of Dawn Johnsen, nominated to head the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, even as Republicans have held up Johnsen’s nomination because of her views on abortion and national security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know the professor, but it seems to me that if he wants to preserve his credibility as a “pro-life Obama supporter,” then he needs to turn down this appointment. \u00a0 Otherwise, whatever the truth of the matter, he appears to be one more Obama supporter getting a payoff.\u00a0\u00a0 How can he serve in any way as a figure of conscience on the abortion issue for the Obama administration, when he works for them directly?<\/p>\n

I hear that the going rate for state dinners in Malta is 30 pieces of silver.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UPDATE: \u00a0It would seem the Ambassador Kmiec didn’t quite fit the bill<\/a>. \u00a0I wonder what his opinion is NOW of Obama’s governance…..<\/p>\n
