When asked about the recent investigation by Live Action into Planned Parenthood’s willingness to cover us underage sex trafficking, President Obama responded that it was all just a “distraction” :
I think sometimes these issues get manufactured, they get a lot of attention in the blogosphere . . . .The key question here is, was the behavior of this Planned Parenthood employee appropriate? And if not, disciplinary action should be taken . . . You know my bottom line is I think that Planned Parenthood in the past has done good work. If there was a specific problem at this center, it should be addressed, but we shouldn’t get so distracted with some of these issues.
As Matthew Archbold says, “To this White House, anything they don’t want to talk about is a distraction.”
