The great and powerful Oz has spoken, 'negotiation' time is over, time for you to ditch your silly religious beliefs and do what we say.

Obama chief of staff: No more compromise, contraceptive rule is done deal

Despite renewed statements of concern by Catholic leaders, the Obama administration is done negotiating and will finalize its plan requiring insurance companies to provide free contraception to women working and studying at religious institutions, President Obama's chief of staff said Sunday.

Jacob Lew told "Fox News Sunday" that the compromise offered last week to address objections by the Catholic Church is clear and consistent with the president's "very deep belief that a woman has a right to all forms of preventive health care, including contraception."

"We have set out our policy," Lew said. "We are going to finalize it in the final rules, but I think what the president announced on Friday is a balanced approach that meets the concerns raised both in terms of access to health care and in terms of protecting religious liberties, and we think that's the right approach."

For all you Catholic liberals out there, this is how the Marxists you elected do 'dialogue.' I would say I told you so but...actually...

I told you so.

The only, ONLY answer is the complete destruction of the mandate and Obamacare. There is no other way.

Ha Ha! Catholics got what they voted for.

Do you laugh every time Obama screws over Americans? Last time I checked, the majority of them voted for Obama, too.

"very deep belief that a woman has a right to all forms of preventive health care"

Since when is any form of health care a right?

Why preventative health care? Does that mean that the government should pay for my toothpaste and dental floss?

Why only women's health? Isn't that sexist?

How are morning after pills "preventive" with regard to the health of the woman? They are merely "preventive" of life for the unborn.

I have to give Obama and his minions credit for including that much nonsense in so short a sentence. He is really pushing the envelope on sheer idiocy.

Every village needs and idiot. Obama could qualify as every village's idiot!

With them it’s not do what I do ...it’s do as I say

The King has spoken. . .So; okay; how many Catholics ‘get it’. How many Christians? How many American citizens, ‘get it’?

contraceptive rule is done deal

until January 21

[marron]

This is a “freedom of religion” issue but I hope people will also recognize that its a “rule by decree” issue as well.

Rush citerd it and FR’s had the link on an other posting but closed it when I used it it was qorking ...

Oh no you are not done negotiating with Catholics. We will be there in November.

I'd be willing to bet a majority of Catholics will vote for Hussein...yet again. He got 54% last time around, I bet he gets around that percentage again. Oh, it probably won't be white Catholics so much, he might even lose that demographic - but Hispanic Catholics love Obama and there is no way Hispanic Catholic women are going to vote against this latest birth control freebie.

[cothrige]

Look at how artfully the issue has been turned into a discussion about birth control and not State interference in churches, or that the birth control measures include abortion inducing drugs.

This is what the Left does best. They redirect the argument, framing the points in a positive manner. And, sadly, the Right goes right along and enables them all the way. I can still remember my horror at watching FoxNews effectively do everything in their power to give away the last election. When "Joe the Plumber" asked his famous question which elicited a rare honest moment from Obama what did Hannity et al do? Did they hammer at the answer which demonstrated Obama's intentions and attitudes? Nope. Instead they kept inviting "Joe the Plumber" on in hopes of making him a new hero which of course only made it impossible to deflect all the personal attacks which came later. You cannot argue it isn't about him when you make it all about him.

People should have been able to see this future attack coming and prepared for it by keeping things constantly on the candidates mistake. Instead they did the opposite and lost the best opportunity to damage Obama going into the general election. The Right does this all the time and have constantly demonstrated that our worst enemies are invariably our own people. We must stop making it so easy for the Left to constantly control the debate. We must think ahead and anticipate the tactics our opponents are inevitably going to use and thereby be able to put the heat on them rather than always scrambling to defend our positions.

In ancient America, debate and negotiation took place while a bill was being written. In modern neo-Marxist Amerika, we have to pass a bill (using bribes in the Ill-Annoy pay-to-play tradition) before we're allowed to see what's in it.

Then the team of Czars at the White Crib issue fatwas and edicts that we all have to accept, follow, and take up as the undeniable dogma of the Party of Death. Get with it! It's a brave new world out there, folks.

The Bill of Rights and Constitution are valued like toilet paper (maybe less valued), since it is a charter of negative liberties as deemed by the current occupant of the White Crib.

I guess you didn’t know, Catholic Charities is not that Catholic. I knew someone who was related to senior leadership, and a lot of them are pretty anti-Catholic.

[Longbow1969]

I hope so... With the Jews, you will still see 50% voting for this dope.

50%? LOL. He got 78% of the Jewish vote in 2008 and there is no reason to think he won't win the vast majority of the Jewish vote in 2012. Hussein may not get 78% again, but he will easily win 2/3rds of the Jewish vote - probably more. The Jewish voting block is utterly hopeless, mostly not even worth reaching out to. Catholics will probably vote for Obama again, but that may be largely because of the increasing Catholic Hispanic vote. We can at least compete for the Catholic vote, the Jewish demographic on the other hand is nearly as lost as the blacks.
