A long fight could damage the president’s support among Catholics who favored him in the last presidential election.
Yes, I hope this is the case, but I also thought that ObamaCare would turn most Republicans against Willard "free abortions for all" Romney, yet he's still competitive for reasons beyond my ken to explain.

The Church should drag his sorry butt to Court. Who knows? Maybe between the Church, some if the states and other parties, we could get this law declared unconstitutional once and for all. I have no confidence Congress will repeal.

I say it is past time to start ex-communicating all Catholics who backed obama on this. It will be a way the Church could and should show how serious they are about this issue, starting with Pelosi.

The House should pass a bill to prevent this...and we’ll see how all those ‘on the fence’ dems in the Senate react...it could be ready for the next president to sign.

If one republican would stand up and point out the obvious; the birth control pills is not a HEALTH CARE issue and therefore should not be covered by HEALTH insurance, Obama and his media would be painted into a corner.

I guess Obama has given up on having news conferences soon.

Mr. Lew said insurers would cover the cost because it’s more expensive to pay for pregnancies than contraception.

But the pregnancy leads to a birth and another covered person for the insurance company, therefore the insurance company gets to collect more money. So, is this statement really true. Don't insurance companies make more when they cover more people?

I do believe he is on a path to the lowest popular vote for any incumbent President in history.

The thing to consider about waivers is that the original mandate stays in place. A waiver exempts you from it but the mandate is still there and can be reinstated at any time.

I wish someone would explain to me by what constitutional authority can the president grant waivers to bills legally signed into law? It’s my understanding these actions do not come under the powers granted to president by the constitution. What am I missing?

LOL! The Whitehouse sent Vice President Bite-me onto Bill Cunningham’s radio show to talk “Catholic-to-Catholic” tonight. Bite-me spun, but I wish Cunningham would have pressed him a lot harder....

This was cleverly stage-managed--the announcement came on Friday and took some time to analyze so by the time the Catholic bishops came out and denounced it, they had lost time and meanwhile the media was pushing the Obama talking points. The result is that a lot of people are confused and think there was a concession by the Obama administration.

Not to mention that people seem to think it is reasonable to compromise between a basic right and a political policy agenda...or to take poll results as an indication of what the Catholic Church should be saying about contraception.

Luke 16.8: "The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light."
