Miscalculation

Obama miscalculated badly when he issued his dictate (order) that EVERYBODY (including the Catholic church, one of his biggest voting blocks in 2008) provide, at their expense (not his) contraception. He didn’t understand just how STRONG their beliefs were, and how far they would go to tell him to “go to hell”. Now the Catholic church, among many others, is telling him just that and DARING him to send them to prison, just as I will if his thugs ever come after me to buy his health insurance (What part of “can’t afford it” doesn’t he understand? Ordering me to buy it won’t change that.”) Now he’s considering offering “waivers” to outfits like the Catholic church if they come to him, “hat in hand,” and beg for it. It’s just another way to gain CONTROL over another segment of the population. He doesn't have the POWER to make them provide contraception against their principles, and doesn't have the power to make their insurance companies do it, either. (CBS)

I guess obama thinks he needs the catholic vote, but now that of the rest of us. The rest of us have been bitterly agains obamacare, even taking him to court, but he is not backing down over that. He must stand to make a lot of money on it some how....

"President Obama reveals who he really is -- and this picture isn't pretty

By rejecting the Keystone XL oil pipeline, President Obama did more than just pander to environmentalists. He shredded attempts by his handlers to cast him as a pragmatic and reasonable man who can appeal to independent voters.

Instead, he stands naked as an ideologue willing to sacrifice workers on the altar of special-interest politics.

Thousands of jobs were cast aside with no more thought than yesterday’s socks. Demolished, too, is the promised commitment to energy independence.

The $7 billion pipeline would carry Canadian oil to Gulf Coast ports. Despite three years of study by the State Department, Obama tried to put off the decision until after the election.

But Canada offered to change the route to avoid an aquifer in Nebraska, and unions demanded to know whether he would approve a permit, so Republicans put a 60-day deadline in December’s payroll-tax legislation.

Now we have undeniable proof of the president’s priorities. The man who insisted that “making sure jobs are available is the first thing I think about when I wake up every morning” was just reading empty words from a TelePrompter.

Obama didn’t even have the decency to explain himself, sending out a lame statement that hinted he wasn’t making a decision on the merits, only reacting to the deadline.

The suggestion that he might ultimately approve the project is a shameless bid to deny the obvious. He made his choice because that’s who he is.

Meanwhile, Canada, saying it is “profoundly disappointed,” is turning to Plan B. It likely will build a pipeline to its West Coast and sell the oil to China."
