Honestly, this really is the best thing that could happen. It brings back the Healthcare front and center. With the ecomony doing so fantastically (lol) this will motivate us agaIN. He is a POS and I feel like I did in 2009/10 right before we kicked everyone out!!!!!

They should join the suit that’s going to the Supremes. Or at least petition them to join, keep in green and in the news.

I wouldn’t discount the possibility that this is all a big bait and switch, and that in a few months Obama is going to magnanimously reverse what he will call “Sebelius’s overreach” or something, and reinstate the conscience exception clause to Obamacare. The press will spin it as showing how deeply Obama cares about Catholics and other people of faith, et cetera., and all will be forgiven and the RC Bishops will endorse Obama for President again.

Or am I too cynical?

Well it seems as if Obama has finally accomplished his promise of uniting the United States of America.

Against him.

Obama could propose a solution....

maybe shuffle the money so every taxpaying citizen can get what they want as long as religious people aren’t connected directly

they have a problem with offering coverage directly, so to protect womens rights and equal protection, the government can offer free vouchers for all birth control and cut government funding to catholic hospitals or other religious institutions to cover the cost of it.

this could apply to all moral objections and religions as well

problem solved!

Exactly. Nothing good will come of this. Obamacare will stand, he will win reelection, and we’re f***ed. Period.

Cynical, no. But realistic, I think. He absolutely could be doing this as a bait/switch, he is a politician. I can only hope our side is in front of this. But right now, we need to educate all again. He has done this before, he has a pattern now. We need to bring back into the headlines that awful No vote against the Infant born Alive Bill(not sure of correct name)

This is going to be fought out with lawsuits, with court decisions, and, dare I say it, maybe even in the streets.”

Don’t forget fighting with the ballot box.

I think Obama was just arrogant enough to think that dumping on the Catholic Church would be a cake walk.

I wouldn’t want to start singing “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead” too soon, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama throws Sibelius under the bus if the doody really starts hitting the fan for him politically.

Sadly I am not certain if you are cynical enough.

“problem solved!”

Wouldn’t we still have the rest of Obamacare?

Why are you proposing a problem solution to help “them” with this specific when the whole thing is a problem?

This is a quote from lib Wikipedia regarding pro-lifer Jill Stanek and Obama’s vote against the Born Alive Infants Protection bill. Written by libs, but you get the gist of it...

“Obama infanticide accusations

Stanek generated national news during the 2008 Presidential campaign when publicizing Barack Obama’s four votes against Illinois’ Born Alive Infants Protection Act while state senator as well as his state senate floor testimony.[9] She posted a vote tally on her blog[10] showing that, during a March 12, 2003, meeting of the Illinois State Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee, Committee Chairman Barack Obama prevented the passage of an amendment to Bill 1082 that would have conveyed “the rights of personhood upon any fetus expelled or extracted from the womb if that fetus was capable of breathing or voluntary motion.”[11] Stanek argued that Obama had supported the killing of such infants and claimed that he had advocated for infanticide.”

Stanek later accused Obama of allowing statutory rape to go undetected by opposing parental notification laws.[12]

Frankly, I’m getting tired of the surrender monkey parades and the defeatists that these threads bring out. If you’ve given up, dig a bloody hole and bury yourselves.

Considering the fact that the parasites are about to outnumber the producers and the MSM is more than willing to cover the blatant fraud by the left in any election in this country, I consider your statement laughable and naive.

The ballot box is pointless, and we have only ourselves to blame for letting it happen.

Be prepared to do as you’re told. You have no other choice that you’re willing to use.
