Barack Obama today deflected reporters from questions about the growing controversy surrounding religious organizations having to provide contraception to their employees.

As MSNBC's Chris Matthews reported on Hardball moments ago, the President stonewalled reporters saying, "Come on, guys" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let’s talk about this thing that’s developed. Even at a photo-op with the Italian Prime Minister late this afternoon, President Obama couldn’t escape questions about this contraceptive issue and religious organizations. Let’s listen to what happened.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Is there anything on the contraception controversy that you can share with us?

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Thank you, guys. Come on, guys.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MATTHEWS: [Laughing] Come on, guys? Come on, guys?

Thats his teleprompters answer? Come on, guys,,,come on, guys? Wow. And the media obediently let it drop. He only has two choices.

1) Back down on this and tick off his supporters in an election year.

2) Crush religious freedom in the US.

I think he will choose the 2nd option. He knows he will still get the majority of women and Catholic votes.

I think 0bama knows that he has stepped in it, but he cannot get out the mess because the radical feminazis (Moochell, Pelosi, Sebelius, Hillary Clinton, Boxer, et al) will kick his ass if he backs down. The feminazis hate the Catholic Church.

Do you really believe that Independents will support this “initiative”? This is exactly the kind of issue that makes voters choose the “I” designation. Otherwise, they’d be Rats.

Don't let this clip get away. Some day your children or grandchildren will think of this the same way we remember, "I am not a crook."

"Come on guys" is his way of saying, "Don't ask me tough questions! We're all in this together here! We're on the same team, you and I!"

Further proof that our "independent" media has voluntarily abdicated their role as impartial mirror, and is now officially a campaign arm of the most corrupt and destructive administration in history.

"Come on guys."

It's Obama's way of circling the wagons. I pray that he keeps doing it all the way to the election!

It’s obvious you know nothing about Catholics from your statement.
