Joe Biden, Bill Daley warned of contraceptive backlash
By JENNIFER EPSTEIN | 2/8/12 1:01 PM EST
Two top advisers to President Barack Obama both Catholics warned him of the potential for controversy over his decision to require religious organizations to cover contraceptives in their health insurance plans.
Vice President Joe Biden and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley both told the president that the decision would be cast as a government intrusion on religious freedom and that it could alienate Catholic voters in swing states, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The decision has whipped up a frenzy of criticism for the president that hes been battling since the move went public.
Biden, the first Catholic to serve as vice president, isnt known for being reticent. But he hasnt yet spoken publicly about the Jan. 20 decision. His office declined to comment.

The real backlash is the eternal backlash.
It goes to character. What kind of person lies to the Church?
EXEMPTIONS ONLY go to FOO’s.....
These mental defectives are more concerned about alienating voters in swing states than violating the Constitution and the MURDER OF BABIES!
Obama loves planned parenthood too much to back down. This will be an issue until the election (thankfully).
Just think. He had no problem voting to put doctors in jail for treating (un)aborted babies in IL. Telling churches to give out the morning after pill is a slam dunk for the one.
I am CERTAIN they never saw this coming...to the degree to which it has.
Come on, Folks! Barry just doesn’t care, and never did, what any of us thinks. His goal is CHAOS in America - he is trying his darnedest to get us to take to the streets so his goons can start breaking some heads and give us an Egypt, Syria, Libya breakdown right here in the USA.
Yeah - Daley is pretty sharp. But how could you sleep at night knowing Biden is more tuned in to the American people than you are? It’s a good thing Great Leader is Great Leader otherwise he might have to think about a few things. This decision has Valerie Jarret’s and a few other uberliberal fingerprints on it.
Zero is implementing it inch by inch, until everything is still in place, when and IF the Supreme Court acts, we will still be paying for the leftovers.
I completely agree with your post. But I do think this is more evil than what is seen; I think it is a sort of “trial balloon” to see if they can get away with this, and if they do, much more evil will be in store.
>>>This decision has Valerie Jarrets and a few other uberliberal fingerprints on it.<<<
Nice take.
The answer has to be complete solidarity of religious people against the Obama regime to force them to back down on this and other intrusions into matters of conscience.
I sure hope NO ONE to whom Obama gives his 'word' will believe him. He's already shown that he's a liar.
The spokesperson for the anti-Catholic Church side on the PBS News Hour the other night made a dismissive comment about how families don’t have 8 to 12 children any more (as part of her claim that the need for birth control is so essential it overrides freedom of religion). Rick Santorum and his wife have had 8 children, but only 7 are still living.
