In a news release, Campaign Life president Jim Hughes urged America鱿鱼视频app first black president to 鈥渉elp save the lives of 4,000 African American babies who die by abortion every day in the United States.鈥� African Americans make up only 13 per cent of the U.S. population, but 37 per cent of aborted babies are black, Hughes said.

鈥淚n the last 36 years over 17 million African American babies have died by abortion alone,鈥� he said.

Obama, who as an Illinois legislator voted against a bill that would have made medical care mandatory for babies born alive a the result of botched abortions, has promised to support the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) that would override any state laws that regulate abortion, such as parental consent requirements.

Though Obama said he wanted abortion to be rare during his campaign, one of his first acts as president was to sign an executive order to free funds to promote and finance abortions in developing nations, Hughes said.

Abortion never came up in the working visit that focused on trade, the environment, open borders, national security and the war in Afghanistan. At a joint news conference Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Obama seemed to have little distance between their respective positions.

The most noteworthy element was the establishment of a Clean Energy Dialogue that would commit 鈥渟enior officials from both countries to collaborate on the development of clean energy, science and technologies,鈥� Harper said.

Citizens for Public Justice executive director Joe Gunn called the establishment of the dialogue a 鈥渟tep forward.鈥�

鈥淧olling has shown that Canadians wants action on the environment and the Canadian government has not provided the leadership it should,鈥� Gunn said.

Obama and Harper focused on clean technology for both coal and oil sands and what is known as Carbon Sequestration Storage, which Gunn described as grabbing the carbon and shoveling it back into the earth.

For domestic consumption, Obama has been much more 鈥済reen.鈥� Gunn pointed out his  stimulus package included many 鈥済reen鈥� initiatives, but that Harper 鈥渕issed that opportunity鈥� in his.

鈥淲e know that we have to have more than technological fixes,鈥� Gunn said. 鈥淲e need to have lifestyle changes and an ecological conversion.鈥�

But not all Catholics agrees on climate change. 

鈥淭he whole global warming issue is such a colossal sham that I don鈥檛 waste time reading about it,鈥� said economist Richard Bastien, who represents the for the National Capital Region.

He called the visit 鈥渁 bit of success鈥� because it dealt with free trade, a concern to Canada because of 鈥減rotectionist sentiments in Congress.鈥�  鈥淏uy American鈥� provisions in the Obama stimulus package have alarmed Canadians. In Ottawa, Obama provided Harper assurances he wants to 鈥済row trade and not contract it.鈥�

Bastien did not care for the fawning coverage of America鱿鱼视频app first black president, however.

鈥淲hat disappointed me most was that he was seen as a hero by most Canadians and he鱿鱼视频app an anti-hero in a sense,鈥� he said. 鈥淗e鱿鱼视频app a demagogue.鈥�

He meets the definition because of his chameleonic adjustments to please his audience and because he 鈥減romises to redeem the world and he doesn鈥檛 have a clue as to how he鱿鱼视频app going to do it.鈥�

On Afghanistan, Obama said he did not press Harper for additional commitments beyond Canada鱿鱼视频app 2011 deadline for troop withdrawal. Harper said he wanted to shift Canada鱿鱼视频app engagement from military to economic development. Harper said Canada鱿鱼视频app principle goal is training the Afghan army so 鈥淎fghans themselves can become responsible for their day-to-day security.鈥�

Both leaders talked about the need to address security concerns while maintaining an open border.
