Joe Biden, Bill Daley warned of contraceptive backlash
By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 2/8/12 1:01 PM EST

Two top advisers to President Barack Obama — both Catholics — warned him of the potential for controversy over his decision to require religious organizations to cover contraceptives in their health insurance plans.

Vice President Joe Biden and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley both told the president that the decision would be cast as a government intrusion on religious freedom and that it could alienate Catholic voters in swing states, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The decision has whipped up a frenzy of criticism for the president that he’s been battling since the move went public.

Biden, the first Catholic to serve as vice president, isn’t known for being reticent. But he hasn’t yet spoken publicly about the Jan. 20 decision. His office declined to comment.

If the administration backs off now, I hope the Catholics and the GOP will not let them off the hook. After all. we know in their hearts what they wanted and that will never change.

Unlike it in the countries that are mentioned, Americans are rather ARMED to the teeth, thanks to the 2nd Amendment.

We all know he never cared, but there are many out there who still think he cares.

“What kind of person lies to a (Priest/Bishop/Cardinal/Minister/Pastor)” is a point that should be made and made often.

The same man who gave his Jesus believed in taxes is the same man who lied to the church.

If he breaks his word to the church, he will break his word to the nation

So many rich taking points from this, but I doubt seriously anyone in the GOP will pick up on it.

“I do think this is more evil than what is seen; I think it is a sort of “trial balloon” to see if they can get away with this, and if they do, much more evil will be in store.”

I agree. This like Hitler claiming he only wanted to protect the Germans in the Sudetenland. The goal of the Obama Administration is to destroy the all Christianity. It is also to destroy America.
