A political adviser to President Barack Obama said Tuesday the administration didn’t intend to “abridge anyone’s religious freedom” with its regulation requiring church-affiliated employers to cover birth control for their workers.

“This is an important issue. It’s important for millions of women around the country,” said Axelrod, the political adviser to Obama’s re-election campaign. “We want to resolve it in an appropriate way and we’re going to do that.”

Obama tells everyone to sit down, shut up and do what he tells you to do.

Losers always call for a truce.

That’s how Democrats debate.

Damned liars.

Just be silent while we put the knife in you.

Why should those on the correct side of this issue have to lower our voices. I think they have been lowered for too long. We didn’t force this issue on anybody.

Funny how the left doesn't mind screeching divisiveness on certain other issues, like race relations.

Lower voices when it loses votes, raise it when it gains them.

The soaring, high altitude, Alinsky-esque rhetoric coming out of the TOTUS needs to be lowered back to the reality of a right-center nation which is trying to keep whatever scraps of freedom this oppressive regime allows.

That was the primary intent, not even an accident.

Brothers lift your voices. LOUD your anthems raise.

“That was the primary intent, not even an accident. “

I agree. Just a step to force health care workers into doing/helping with abortions.

You know you’ve won the argument when some woman tells you to lower your voice.

Liar.

“We want to resolve it in an appropriate way and we’re going to do that.”

Good. I expect to see the 0bama administration immediately demand the repeal of 0bamacare, and petition the SCOTUS for summary judgement that 0bamacare is unconstitutional. It's the ONLY appropriate way.

It was killed by the state.
