White House to announce 'accommodation' on contraceptive policy (Pope Obama to still dictate terms)
fox news ^ | 2/10/2012 | Ed (Obama Butt Boy) Henry

The White House is expected to announce as early as Friday a plan to accommodate religious organizations that are opposed to a new policy requiring them to offer contraceptive coverage to employees.

A senior adviser to President Obama confirmed to Fox News that there will be an "accommodation" -- but advisers said the announcement does not represent a "compromise."

The move comes as several prominent Democratic lawmakers have urged the Obama administration to reconsider its position. Vice President Biden said in an interview a day earlier that he was "determined" to work out the dispute.

Obama is going to use Hegelian dialect synthesis to get around this.

It isn’t going to work. A compromise does not work when confronted by dogmtic belief.

Besides, Obama is a liar as, metaphorically, his father before him was a liar. He cannot be trusted

I note that it’s an “accommodation”.

To me, that says that the Obama administration feels it’s government’s right, it’s duty to be in all aspects of our lives, but will “accommodate” when it’s politically expedient.

The House and Senate need to codify the change into law. Screw this “trusting Obama” bull****.

I figured this would happen.

Wonder if it will work.

He must have received a complaint from a mosque.

“Wonder if it will work.”

With a fawning media, an inattentive public, and a liberal clergy?

It can’t possibly fail.

Finally, although I am doubtful, the meanings of the words bipartisan and compromise will be seen clearly for what they are when uttered by Dems. And especially when uttered by Obama, you do what I say!

Anyone who trusts Obama deserves the Neville Chamberlain “Peace in our Time” award.

The usual form of an Obama compromise is you play ball with me and I will stick the bat up your backside.

no reason for the mosques to complain...they’ve already received a complete exemption! Another little factoid the msm refuses to report.

Pope Obama is just trying to mitigate the damage. He's already been damaged beyond some repair and probably was down to the low 30’s on the Catholic vote. This may get him back up to the low 40’s but will still be a 15%-20% drop in Catholic support.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

We fought one Revolutionary War over this, and if the secular-left wants another one, so be it.

I don’t think a modified limited hangout is going to work. It may, however, succeed in getting the issue off of the Sunday shows, which is all the pinheads care about, anyway.

“He must have received a complaint from a mosque.”

Actually, I heard he did. The muzzies are upset because they see what this could mean in terms of government interference in the mosques. If the government can compel the Churches to do things, the precedent is set for forcing the mosques to do things.

muzzies are evil, but they aren’t stupid.

Pope Obama is still going to tell religious organizations how they can comply with his law instead of just tossing his whole unconstitutional edict.

This will be double-talk, not change or retraction.

0bama Deathcare is rampantly pro-abortion.

The base idea is to squash religious freedom, including student loan provisions for those going into ministry/religious organizations, covering the Cross, my “muslim faith” and hanging with the hate America crowd.

Remember, “Thou shalt have no other gods before” the government.

We have to watch what we say, pray, do, eat, believe, write. How is this not squashing the US Constitution?
