BAD NEWS WEEK FOR OBAMA

Now, after the NLRB ruling, it is closer to court time for the numerous lawsuits about birth control, religion and the ObamaCare mandates.  Faith-affiliated charities, hospitals and universities have filed dozens of lawsuits against the mandate, which requires employers to provide insurance that covers contraception for free. Many for-profit business owners are also suing, claiming a violation of their religious beliefs

COMMENTS:

I happen to believe in the modern miracle of birth control.  However, I recognize that there are religions which preach against birth control; the Catholics are not the only ones.  The doctrine of freedom of religion was adopted because the government of England only accepted the Church of England and its teachings and new Americans wanted the freedom to join other religions or none and they wanted to know that the government could not influence the teachings of the church of their choice.  The truly Omnipotent One, however, doesn’t give a hoot about the Constitution or its protections.  He believes that whatever he says should be the law of the land.  Our ancestors gave their blood to defend these rights; shame on us for not standing up and defending them. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. I have heard that Obama’s anti-gun program is running into problems and did read somewhere that even the Democrats are having heartburn over it.  Can you elaborate?  (Spencer ~ La Mesa, CA)
A. Friday’s polling from ABC News and the Washington Post finds that only 39% of the public supports his plan.  Support for gun control remains lower than before Obama took office; in April of 2008, 58% said it was more important to control gun ownership, while 37% prioritized protecting gun rights. In a poll released January 14, 2013 Pew found that 51% say it is more important to control gun ownership, while 45% say it is more important to protect gun rights.  History shows, however, that Obama will turn the heat up on the issue and do everything he can do to cram his agenda down America’s throat.  Get your Tums out. 

Q. Residents of the freezing northeast who live in the areas affected by Superstorm Sandy are outraged.  Obama promised this would not be another Katrina episode, but it is turning out far worse.  What do you think he will do about the criticism?  (Brenda ~ Norwalk, CA)
A. Ignore it.  He might even get on his jet plane and leave the country for a week.  That’s my first guess; my second guess is that he will blame Bush for it. 

Q. The NLRB appointments Obama made are not the only recess appointments he has made over his first four years.  How will the recent Federal Court panel ruling affect those other appointments?  (Tiffany ~ Tonopah, NV)
A. Not much.  In the first place, there are appeals going on and the panel rulings get stayed while this occurs.  The other appointments did not affect regulatory bodies.
