New Stanek WND column, “Cold and calculating – that’s Obama”
On Nov. 8, 1994, Pastor Scott Willis and his wife, Janet, started the day by voting in Illinois’ general election. One vote they cast was to re-elect Secretary of State George Ryan.
They then commenced a road trip to Milwaukee with the youngest six of their nine children, ranging in age from 6 weeks to 13 years.
On Interstate 94 a truck in front of them suddenly dropped what was later determined to be a 6-by-30 inch metal brace weighing 30 pounds.
Having no time to swerve or stop, Scott ran over the brace, which hit the gas tank.
The van instantly exploded into an inferno. Scott recalled:
It was just roaring flames coming up on both sides. I was yelling to get out of the car. Janet and I had to consciously put our hands into the flames to unbuckle the seat belts and reach for the door handles.
Janet fell out the door while the car was still moving. Benny was in the midst of the burning; his clothes were mostly burned off by the time he got out. The five youngest children, who had been asleep, died instantly.
Only they didn’t die instantly….

Wow, your column today is stunning. I really hope WND will give it headline prominence. I wrote to the editor asking him to do that.
The people of America need to really see what’s lurking there within the broad smile and glib speech of the presumptuous Democrat standard bearer (i.e., pall bearer). He’s all “happy days are here again” now… but if elected, he and his entourage will just kill America.
My heart aches for the Willises and their unfathomable grief. I can’t even imagine.
As completley horrible and heartbreaking as that story is – it made me cringe reading it – I fail to see the connection to Barack Obama other than another desperate and failed attempt to make him look bad.
First of all, if this truck driver had a license, the steel rod wouldn’t have fallen off of his truck? Please.
Sometimes accidents are accidents. It is natural to want to blame someone, and in this case, the investigation did turn up wrongdoing, but can it be said that the part wouldn’t have fallen off the truck if this guy had been licensed? No.
My dad pulled 3 children from a flaming car in the early 80s after witnessing a similar accident. 2 of them died in his arms. Yes – the intial reaction is to blame someone, but in reality – it was an accident.
Second of all, how that tragic story connects to Barack Obama cancelling a Pro Life event is a bit of a stretch. Lots of people who’ve gone through horrible things become active in politics – its a fantastic and productive way to channel grief. Some of them get their way, lots of them don’t. That’s politics. If we called every poltician who cancelled an event or didn’t show up at a committee of some kind where someone who had a tragic past was testifying, we would have approximately ZERO politicians who were not “cold and calculating”.
Jill,
I have never heard this before! Thank you for continuing to show us what Obama is really all about.
The story is so sad. I am crying. Can’t imagine the horror.
God bless the Willis family!
This is the sort of courage that some so admire in Obama.
Using procedures to make sure the voices of opposition are not heard. Why avoid discussion if you know you have a winning argument.
Is Obama pleased that women in crisis pregnancies will have fewer resources available to them because he couldn’t bear to have folks in Illinois driving around with a Choose Life license plate?
These tactics don’t bring people together.
I try not to get personal, but I feel for his daughters. Living with the thought police. Zero tolerance for disagreement.

Many times, a cancellation can be avoided by simply asking someone else to preside. Certainly some other state senator or committtee member could have handled the incredible responsibility of approving a license plate.
It was a slap in the face by Obama to all in attendance.
reasonable minds can differ on the suitability of a state issuing a “choose life” license plate
Carla, the column grieved me to write. I had to spend a lot of time on the phone with the Willises the last couple days, first of all getting their permission to write the story, and secondly making sure facts were straight and that they approved of the final product. I hated the thought of making them relive incidents they might not on a per chance peaceful day. They are such good people.
Wow, that poor family, I can’t even imagine.
That’s the kind of “hope” and “change” we need in Washington? Somebody who is completely disrespectful to people who have lost soooo much?
No thanks. I always have thought Obama was a dirt bag, and this pretty much confirms it.
Amanda,
I don’t think the point of this article was to blame Obama for the accident at all. I think it was to show that Obama doesn’t have any respect for people who have been through an unspeakable tragedy so he could further his agenda of silencing the free speech of pro-lifers. That’s just how I interpreted it anyway.

Unlicensed drivers really do have more accidents.
That is why licensing is required.
Unregulated companies really do pollute more.
That is why pollution regulations are necessary.
Certainly government needs to regulate these things for public safety.
Likewise there will always be accidents. However we should seek to reduce them with logical regulations like licenses.
Whether or not these people were in attendance, Obama was on Illinois payroll to work for the people of Illinois and it is certainly reasonable for him to do that rather than tend to his personal affairs instead of attending meetings that he himself scheduled.
I don’t see it Jill. Obama is bad because he wouldn’t provide a forum for the Willises to promote legislation completely unrelated to their tragedy? If anyone was cold and calculating, it was them, attempting to use their somewhat morbid celebrity to push an agenda.
I agree Elizabeth.
Making something good come out of personal tragedy is hardly pushing an agenda, Ray. I have yet to see you express any compassion here. Try it. You might like it.
Of course you would see it that way, Ray. You’re probably glad cause those people were irresponsible and had too many kids anyway. At least there’s less people on the planet now, right?

Certainly.
They can also attend the meetings and discuss the issue, especially when they have the privilege of scheduling the meeting.
Do you really think a plurality of voices and participation in government programs such as license plates for charity is “unsuitable”?
First of all, if this truck driver had a license, the steel rod wouldn’t have fallen off of his truck? Please.
Amanda, this was a major scandal in Illinois. Yes, it is expected that a licensed driver would have been properly educated about how to secure his load. If the driver in question had passed all his tests instead of paying a bribe to get his license, the incident would likely not have occurred.
“Many times, a cancellation can be avoided by simply asking someone else to preside. Certainly some other state senator or committtee member could have handled the incredible responsibility of approving a license plate. ”
True – but cancellations happen. I mean, we’ve had patients here from Kuwait, Russia, Indonesia – mostly with stories heartbreaking enough that they were able to get the attention of someone who could get them flown here – but doctors are busy and human, and sometimes they cancel. Does it suck? Yeah. Is it the most considerat thing in the world? Nope. But does it qualify someone as “cold and calculating”? I think thats a bit dramatic.
“Unlicensed drivers really do have more accidents. That is why licensing is required.”
Of course – I wouldn’t have implied otherwise, but unless he was driving recklessly – which it doesn’t say he was, I don’t know that it would have made a difference. Most truckers these days do not load their own freight- they’re loaded at wherever they picked up their freight from and driven where they’re told. They are responsible for checking the weight of the truck though – but it didn’t say anything about it being overweight. I’ve seen stuff fall off trucks before – its scary as hell – but sometimes caused by a big pothole, or another driver causing a trucker to swerve. I’m just saying there isn’t always someone to blame.
Making something good come out of personal tragedy is hardly pushing an agenda, Ray.
Why didn’t they work toward something related to their tragedy, like road or truck safety? The 9/11 widows didn’t push for a cure for cancer…they used their celebrity appropriately, to push for answers to how their tragedy occurred or was permitted to occur.
It is hard to not be cynical when someone says, “my kids died in a fiery accident, so you should listen to what I have to say about abortion.”
It was a slap in the face by Obama to all in attendance.

Agreed but having said that, I see Obama as no different that most politicians. He didn’t want to be caught – it was bad PR for him. Beside hippie this is THE guy that likes to see babies have their brains poked out when they’re half born.
On the truck note: We had a similar problem in ONtario Canada a few years ago where truck wheels were flying off rigs and decapitating people and causing other such mayhem. Our provincial police started running random checks on trucks only to discover that rigs were not being inspected or the inspection certificates were being falsified.
What a tragedy for the Willises.
We are seriously going to be in a world of hurt if this corrupt man gets into power!
Do you really think a plurality of voices and participation in government programs such as license plates for charity is “unsuitable”?
Posted by: hippie at August 6, 2008 4:00 PM
I don’t. Many do. I see both sides.
Some think such a license plate (issued by the state) is a state action endorsing a religous view. As Jill has said, “if there was no God, abortion wouldn’t be wrong.”

The license plate encourages women to CHOOSE life.
It supports them with $ for services if they need it.
The license plate doesn’t restrict abprtion access.
It just lets women know that help is out there, and that people care for them.
The state also profits from the sale of such plates.

Huh? if someone says it, therefore it is true?
What if Jill said, if there is no God then child abuse or murder is not wrong?
What would you say then? That preventing child abuse or criminalizing murder is the state endorsing religious views?
Just because Jill thinks that, does not define the issue.
Whether or not abortion is common has nothing to do with offering help to pregnant women.
Some religious people say God expects people to take good care of the planet, so a Please Recycle plate would be the gov’t endorsing a religious view?
You are reaching.
Amanda, this was a major scandal in Illinois. Yes, it is expected that a licensed driver would have been properly educated about how to secure his load. If the driver in question had passed all his tests instead of paying a bribe to get his license, the incident would likely not have occurred.
Ray, you’re right about this not really being anything to do with Obama, but “properly educated” in no way means the load would have been properly secured. I drive a truck quite often, and you see all sorts of stuff….
I’m not reaching. It’s not even my opinion. I’m okay with the plates. Maybe I’m not explaining the views of those opposed to it well.
I’m just saying it doesn’t make someone a heartless SOB for opposing the “choose life” plate. There are principled reasons for doing so. Let’s not turn every disagreement into a character attack. (Obama’s character, not yours or mine)

When a doctor cancels an appointment and then reschedules, it is not for the express purpose of ensuring that the patient never gets the care needed. However, Obama’s cancelling of the hearing was for the express purpose of making sure the people didn’t get a fair hearing and that he would as likely be noticed as the one killing the bill.
He cancelled to affect the outcome.
I don’t believe doctors cancel to ensure poor outcomes for patients.

Posted by: Hal at August 6, 2008 4:39 PM
I never said heartless SOB.
I also haven’t seen anyone float a principled reason for opposing it.
I am not attacking character by pointing out that Obama scheduled the meeting at his convenience and cancelled it to ensure a poor outcome for the petitioners and a better one for himself and his supporters.
So what if the plates are contentious. People don’t have to agree all the time. Only the people who want the charity plates will buy them. Everyone else can CHOOSE the cheaper standard plates.
Amanda, Doug, etc…..
PLEASE reread the article and consider the feelings of the Willis Family before commenting any more. I think Elizabeth @ 3:51 is right:
Amanda, I don’t think the point of this article was to blame Obama for the accident at all. I think it was to show that Obama doesn’t have any respect for people who have been through an unspeakable tragedy so he could further his agenda of silencing the free speech of pro-lifers. That’s just how I interpreted it anyway.
This was a horrific accident (due to negligence, I might add) which I remember all too well. It seems like yesterday. It happened on an expressway I traveled frequently. Did you read that SIX OF THEIR NINE CHILDREN (ages 6 WEEKS to 13 YEARS) burned to death in a fiery crash BECAUSE OF corruption in the licensing system and the truck inspection system? I believe THE BRACE that came loose was NOT a piece of cargo, but an actual truck part, a problem that would have been caught AND corrected if inspections had been done according to the law. (JILL, please correct me if I am wrong on the “brace” being an actual part of the truck.)
As for the Willis’ desire to support a pro-life plate, if this was something they wanted to do to honor the lives of their children by protecting the lives of other children, why did Obama not hear them out on that first day and give the Willis’ the respect they deserved? How much effort would it have taken? This was about LIFE which is more important than politics.
I should have said this earlier: Janet and Scott Willis and family, please know that you are in my prayers. God Bless you ALWAYS.
Respect is earned, not inherently given out based on how many kids you’ve had die tragically.

Posted by: Rose at August 6, 2008 5:10 PM
Huh? Inherently? Aren’t all human beings deserving of respect just because (they exist)?
Actually, Rose, you have not earned my respect, but I show it to you, because THAT is what decent human beings do.
And really, Rose, until you’ve suffered through the horrific death of one child, let ALONE 6, you have no room to speak of those who deserve respect based on how many children they have had that have died.
Janet, no they don’t.
I don’t respect my elders until they demonstrate to me that they are worthy of said respect.
And Elizabeth, I don’t expect respect from you until I’ve earned it and I most certainly hope you do not expect it from me.
And Elizabeth, I was not speaking for them, merely pointing out that respect isn’t handed out based on how many dead kids you have.
While yes, I do believe the Willis’ story is tragic and unfortunate, I fail to see how their tragedy directly affected the cause they later took up. No matter what reason they used to take up their cause for the Choose Life license plates (which I am not opposed to, I support them in fact)- abortion or the alleged ‘right to choose’ did not kill their kids, so they ought not get more “respect” just because something unrelated yet tragic still happened to them.
Amanda:
So much about you and your character is revealed in your responses.
Lawlessness always has consequences. The sad thing is, the good suffer with the bad.
The guy not having a license indicates his level of care and conscientiuosness. He obviously didn’t care enough to check that the load was secured to the bed of his truck. Had he been a responsible person he would have checked this before he drove off. He just didn’t give a damn. His mindset was evil and resulted in much destruction. If it wasn’t the Willises it would have been someone else eventually. Evil begets evil.
It’s kind of like those who support abortion. They want abortion to be legal so they don’t have to suffer the consequences of their careless actions. It’s all the same stuff and all so damnable. The truth is, all evil will be punished no matter what the perpetrators do to try to escape. Nothing is hidden from God.
Rose:
Huh? Obviously a connection was made between lawlesness and the death of their kids. Abortion is legal but it is still wrong. The Willisses were trying to make a connection between the lawlessness of the government that legalize the murder of innocent children and its affects on real people. You can’t see that?
I’m afraid I don’t HisMan.
I do not see how something morally appalling yet sadly legal like abortion is related to the deaths of those children due to illegal bribes which lead to illegal licensing. Unless of course abortion was legalized via bribery, but I have heard nothing to support that claim.
I’m just saying it doesn’t make someone a heartless SOB for opposing the “choose life” plate. There are principled reasons for doing so. Let’s not turn every disagreement into a character attack. (Obama’s character, not yours or mine)

It’s not about his opposing view, it’s the fact that he wouldn’t bring the discussion to the committee when there was press there to report the story. Maybe people seeing the story would have written to their reps/senators to get it passed. I live in Illinois and I certainly don’t know everything that’s trying to get passed. Had I known about this I would have written.
Obama buried it just like he buried the people running against him in his IL senate race. He buried them in a pile of legal bologna so it made it impossible for them to run. Anyone who trusts a Democrat coming out of Chicago is beyond foolish.

It just goes to show you he doesn’t care who he dismisses to get what he wants. Just like his recent overseas visit. He was supposed to go see the troops at a hospital in Germany (I think Germany anyway) but decided not to because his campaign manager couldn’t go or someone said he shouldn’t go. I forget the exact particulars but I’m sure the story can be Googled. Anyway he SHOULD have said fine, manager stays; I go, alone if necessary. These troops were told I was coming and I’m going to go see them.
Then again WHY would he start doing the right thing now? He gave some pathetic excuse about how it would be looked upon as “campaigning.” No duh Sherlock! So instead of looking like you were campaigning you just look (again) like an unpatriotic yahoo that decided it was more important to go to the gym instead of seeing injured soldiers.
Rose,
You don’t think these people truly understand how precious life is and how it is taken for granted through abortion? I think they know it more than anyone, so yes, I do see the correlation between their tragedy and wanting to help push these plates.
Oh, and the only amount of respect that I expect from people is the amount I extend to others. In this instance, it’s the ability to have a civil discussion without using insults and being snarky. You have extended that amount of respect to me as I have done to you. So we are in essence showing each other respect, even though you don’t believe either of us has earned it.
PLEASE reread the article and consider the feelings of the Willis Family before commenting any more.
Janet, I’d say the same applies to lame attempts to impugn Obama by bringing the Willises into it.
Agreed, though – a horrific accident, truly heartbreaking.
The Willises are not running for the office of the President of the United States of America.
Rose:
Let me put in more succinctly:
Bad government/innocent people hurt and killed i.e., irresponsible truck drivers killing kids in a car accident.
Legal abortion/innocent children killed (by the millions).
I won’t be trying again to help you understand, it’s just not that complicated or abstract.
Alright, guys this is totally off topic, but I just ahd to share.
Y’all know I have a newborn daughter.
Well I was changing her diaper and she is a big fat poopy head.
I’ve changed *alot* of diapers in my day and I have a pretty good diaper changing technique down. I can even do it with one hand!
Well I was cleaning her off with her little legs pulled up and…you guessed it… she decided that that second was the perfect time to let loose a geyser of poo. Because I had her legs pulled back it became projectile poo. So there I sat, covered in poo, with nothing that could be done except for to clean her off again, hold her far far away from my body and go get another diaper.
Thank goodness I’m breastfeeding so it was at least the not-so-offensive mustard type.
I thought you mommas on here would get a chuckle out of that. And of course I did too because what else could I do but laugh?
Thanks Lauren!! :)
I have been changing diapers for 11 years. I hear you loud and clear. Keep up the good work, momma and keep laughing!!
tehehe, Lauren, that EXACT thing happened to me at like 3 in the morning once. It was grrreat!
lauren,
“a big fat poopy head” – I love it! Lol!
Oh man, I’m just glad it wasn’t 3 AM!
Somehow she’s been much more prone to diaper changing “incidents” than my son was. What’s up with that?!
LOL Lauren! That has happened to me so many times! I bet you love your big fat poopy head! :D
Somehow she’s been much more prone to diaper changing “incidents” than my son was. What’s up with that?!
Timing? Put her down for a diaper change and wait five minutes before taking the diaper off? It’s worth a try! :)
I do indeed! :)After her shinanigans she decided the appropriate thing to do was to eat some more to load up for next time!
So now I’m holding her little poopy self and being very, very greatful that I have her :)
“PLEASE reread the article and consider the feelings of the Willis Family before commenting any more.”

Posted by: Doug at August 6, 2008 6:55 PM
I don’t think common courtesy is too much to ask for.
I have a theory that the cool breeze from the diaper coming off tells her that it’s time to poo. I know they say this is the reason little boys pee all over you, so I think it makes sense. Or..she could just be a trouble maker like her daddy :)
Lauren, that sounds like a good theory. Something that used to help me change boy diapers was to wait a bit after I’d undone the diaper before I actually removed it. I’d kind of lift the diaper up and then put it back after a second or two, to use it like a shield. Anyway, I got peed on a lot less frequently when I did that, so maybe something like that is worth a shot? It’s probably harder to do in your situation, though.
I bet she’s a very adorable trouble-maker. ;)
lauren: my son (who’s 18 now and doesn’t know I’m writing this!) once filled his car seat entirely with poop! Yes, it was the poop of a breastfed baby, for which I am still grateful!
talk about poopy! talk about nasty!
If it was so important to funnel money to pregnant women, why not just donate it and buy a Choose Life bumper sticker? But that isn’t the real issue, is it? Anti-choicers want state backing for their primarily religious position.
What if the tables were reversed? What if the Willises had tragically lost a child to a DIY abortion attempt (due to lack of $) and wanted to have a “Keep Choice” plate to fund abortions for indigent women who wanted them, and some conservative politician had used this tactic? You’d be applauding his political acumen, I bet.
Oh my God, what a story Jill….
I’m going to withhold my comments on Obama for now…my blood is boiling..
I applaud ANY family that can go on after losing so many beautiful children in a burning van!! I keep picturing their older boy on the side of highway, his hair gone, his eyebrows gone and Mom standing there…helpless. Can you even imagine the unspeakable horror of watching your children burn to death?
THEY SURVIVED and go on! They long to bring something positive from their grief. I am so proud of them and admire them greatly!
I wonder how the comments would have changed if they wanted to support Planned Parenthood?
Phylosopher,
Anti-choicers want state backing for their primarily religious position.
You mean the way “choicers” want state backing for their primarily anti-religious postitions?
You want the state to fund abortions, legalize abortion, fund birth control, teach it in our schools, override parental rights…

Bishop Fulton Sheen
This story makes me absolutely sick. Last night I had a big, anti-Obama post all typed up, but then thought the better of posting it here, because I don’t have alot of time to participate here. Just suffice it to say that my opinion is as follows:
Obama = pathetic.
God help us if that cowardly puppet is elected. The fact that he has made it as far as he has only shows how low our educational, moral, and common-sense levels have fallen in this country.
Sue, the Obama supporters I know (Okay, that’s really everyone I know) are all educated, moral, comon-sense people.
We’re really a divided country. About half think our current president is an incomptent cowardly puppet, and the other half think our next president is.
I think HisMan got this one right. Obama had already made up his mind, and didn’t want to give these good people a chance to be heard. It is cold, and it is calculating.
There is also a real connection in the story with these children who did not die as instantly as one might hope, and with Obama and his vote against Born Alive. The suffering of innocent children means nothing to this man. He can turn his head from them in favor of his own political power, without batting a lash.
Erin,
Thank you!
mk: 7:42,
It’s amazing how everything Bishop Fulton Sheen said 50 years ago still rings true today.
The truck driver’s name was Antonio Guzman and he could not obtain a license LEGALLY because he could not SPEAK ENGLISH nor read it. Drivers seeing his load teetering precariously attempted to get him to pull over. They rolled down their windows and shouted at him but NO HABLA INGLES. I see this story as typical of all pols, activists and corporations who are happy to sell out our national sovereignty for the almighty dollar — in this case campaign dollars. Mr. Guzman skipped a lot of lines to get his illegal license and there were no-borders groups and political hacks happy to send him out on the road — to murder those children.
“the Obama supporters I know (Okay, that’s really everyone I know) are all educated, moral, comon-sense people – Hal”
——————————-
Hal,
I think that just proves what Sue stated:
“how LOW our educational, moral, and common-sense levels have fallen in this country”
Hey, guess what?..Obama was from Harvard…
I guess he only gained knowledge NOT wisdom.
I don’t see any evidence whatsoever that Obama supporters are low in education, morals, or common-sense.
GWB, however, is a different story.
RSD,
“I guess he only gained knowledge NOT wisdom.”
So what is wisdom? Agreeing with your point of view?
Additionally, wisdom is not learned, it is granted (or not) throughout the course of one’s life.
Illinois FOCA fails
Here’s another one that got away from me while I was on vacation, good news! The IL Freedom of Choice Act, which I previously discussed, failed to make it out of the IL House by the April 3 deadline,…
