In a way I really think that this is the response the President expected from the bishops.
But the fact is that they will be pursuing their goal with "no less vigor" with the other two branches of government--but, most likely, considerably less media coverage and considerably less support.
Whereas before there were some moderates and even a few liberals who were concerned, now the concern will most likely be restricted to the religious right--and we all know that in an election year, if the religious right didn't have a bee in their bonnets about something the President did they would invent one (note the birther controversy, for example.)
He's won.

Well both Biden and Casey have refused at the moment to support Obama's accommodation until they see more detail because there are issues. So when his own VP and one of his leading Catholic supporters both decide that they will not come right out and support his changes and issue wait and see statements....won is a strong word.

Where is our true character as a nation to be seen - let's ask ourselves this question: Where is our true character to be seen, in an adoptive home, or in an abortion clinic? Who are we? Who are we America? That question deserves an answer. Bob Casey Sr.

Lord save us from Obama and his weasely ways. Thank God the Bishops are not buying what he's selling or forcing insurance companies to give away for "free".

No wonder... Obama has not been keeping his promises and even those close to him no longer trust him. He has become a wild card. Because of this, I think his chances at re-election are not so good.

Well actually, this distraction has me quite worried. Obama is a master of distraction. He's forever using them to hide something else that he's doing that is much worse.
Look around, what is he trying to cover by his assault on religious freedom--is it the fact that the job numbers are phony and only dependent upon a smaller workforce and folks that no longer even look for jobs? Is it that his Keystone decision has resulted in not only killing jobs and making us even more oil dependent to OPEC, but that the oil is being sold to China? Is it his culpability in the Egyptian Arab Spring that has turned to Muslim winter and may usher in yet another war? Why would he "blow his cover" and show all that he intended to trample on the Constitution?
It's as if he were saying "Don't look there. Look over here." And while we are looking ....

The problem with this is, just a few weeks ago, the president met with Archbishop Dolan, and assured him that he would allow the exemption for the Church.
However, under pressure from Sebelius and the like, he caved in to the extreme left and back stabbed the Church.
Now, it's obvious the president is changing his position because of the political threat to his re-election.
What happens after the election, will he reverse everything and once again back stab the Church, being he now doesn't have a re-election to worry about?
He certainly changed my thinking about voting for him in November.
I'll probably vote for Santorum in the GOP primary on Super Tuesday, despite not liking how he supported Bush 100% when he was senator.
