Barack Obama’s inaugural address was full of brief phrases with long-term implications, replacing his sometimes-soaring campaign rhetoric and political jousting with presidential declarations of intent.
As such, the speech is best judged not viagra on its immediate impact but on what happens over time.
Things started happening immediately, including action on one of those short but pungent phrases: “the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.”
On Friday, announcing the easing of restrictions on the use of federal family planning money overseas, he reprised that inaugural phrase, saying, “I have no desire to continue this stale and fruitless debate” about whether the U.S. Agency for International Development funds promote or do not promote the spread of abortions.
He surely knows that the fundamental argument about abortion will not go away anytime soon, but that’s not the argument he was talking about. The debate about the use of the funds is entirely different from the core one about abortion; it’s a practical issue, not a moral or religious one.
