I thought Obama was supposed to be this political genius.
How can he and his team justify these moves politically.
I mean, assume that you are an Obama WH staffer. Could you defend these actions in a purely political manner?
Can you make a case that this makes his re-election more probable? I can’t, as cynical as I can be I still cannot make this justifiable from the democrat party political standpoint.
Either this is truly and wholly motivated by a desire to end religious freedom in this country, a desire to end as many lives as possible, or Obama is absolutely inept beyond our most wild imagination. I really don’t think it was motivated by re-election goals.
Here’s what GB said today, and I agree with him. This was a CALCULATED move by zero... they knew that it would cause an uproar and that it would motivate his base. (just like the recent Susan Komen debacle, coincidence?? Hmmm.) It detracts from the clusterfudge that is his economic legacy, and riles up the faithful feminazis. Then he does a mea culpa and says he will back off (only to mandate that insurance companies provide contraceptives and abortions for “free”). This was planned all along, and erodes our liberties while making some sheeple think they “won” the battle, but really we are losing the war.
Where is the hue and cry about Muslims being exempt from Obamacare but other religious objections are ignored?
I guess, on some level, we should be grateful that he is a narcissist who conjures up his own reality. He believes the he can get everyone else to see his version or reality.
I don’t think that Catholics will buy into that as long as their premiums don’t go up it is ok for the insurance company they are doing business with allows their subsidized employees to get abortion services. This is an extremely cynical view of religious conscience. 0bama is pretty much saying our values are hypocritical and as long as we can do a cosmetic lie all is well.
