Shameful: White House's Mother's Day Card with ObamaCare pitch !!!




This card is on the White House web site, not the Obama-Biden 2012 site.
Have they no sense of decency ???




Not even Mother's Day could be shielded from election-year politics. 
The White House on Sunday released specially tailored e-cards touting the benefits for moms of the federal health care overhaul, urging people to send the card around to "show some appreciation for the mom in your life." 
The e-card, posted on the White House website for any and all to download and share, is titled: "Happy Mother's Day From The Affordable Care Act." 
It goes on to say, "Being a mom isn't a pre-existing condition." 
The text of the card lists a string of stats about how women benefit under the health care overhaul, which is now the subject of a Supreme Court challenge. The card says that while insurers before the overhaul could "deny coverage for women with pre-existing conditions like breast cancer or pregnancy," they will be prohibited from denying coverage over any pre-existing condition starting in 2014. 
The card also cites the millions of women who gained "expanded preventive services with no cost-sharing" last year.

Obama Allocates $500M to IRS to Prepare for ObamaCare



 

President Obama has allocated $500 million to the IRS to prepare for ObamaCare, a move that’s drawn criticism from Republicans who would rather wait until the Supreme Court rules on the law in June.

Laura Ingraham commented on Fox and Friends, saying that she’s not surprised because “If Washington has access to money, Washington will spend money.”

She continued, “Even for an election year, even for a Democrat, even for President Obama it’s really kind of low-rent, right? It looks like the Supreme Court’s going to overturn this. It’s injudicious to say the very least, and I think it smacks of politics, of the worst type of behavior for an elected official to go ahead and push the spending of that money before the Supreme Court rules.” Read More

Holy war over health care law? Obama angers Catholic leaders







While President Obama will deliver another speech on the economy Wednesday in Northern Virginia to keep the focus on jobs, Catholic leaders across the country are warning another issue may blow up in his face come November.
Catholics are fired up over new rules implementing Obama's health care reform law forcing Catholic universities, hospitals, and charities to provide insurance for their employees covering contraception -- even though that violates church teachings.
"When you push people of faith and you tell them the government is going to knock down the wall of separation of church and state and overreach like the Obama administration, you've got a war on your hands," Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, told Fox News.
In an extraordinary move this past weekend, New York Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan and other archbishops throughout the nation had their priests read letters denouncing the Obama administration policy from the pulpit at Sunday Mass.
"Never before has the government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience," Dolan said in a web video that takes the battle online. "This shouldn't happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights. How about letting our elected leaders know that we want religious liberty and rights of consciences restored and the administration's mandate rescinded? We can't afford to strike out on this one."
Pressed on the matter at his daily briefing Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney repeated several times the administration believes it struck an "appropriate balance" in crafting the policy.
"The administration believes that this proposal strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious beliefs and increasing access to important preventive services," said Carney. "We will continue to work closely with religious groups during this transitional period to discuss their concerns."
Even some Catholic Democrats are not buying that claim, however, with liberal columnist E.J. Dionne ripping the policy in a Washington Post column. Dionne charged Monday that the president "utterly botched" the issue and "threw his progressive Catholic allies under the bus."

Romney Adviser: GOP President Won’t Repeal All of Obamacare



Norm Coleman, an adviser to presidential hopeful Mitt Romney whose advice was once described as “critical” by the candidate, believes that his boss — or any Republican — won’t be able to repeal Obamacare if they defeat Barack Obama.

"You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president," Coleman told BioCentury This Week in an interview that aired Sunday, according to The Hill. "You can't whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what's been done."

The Romney campaign put out a statement to counter the sting of the former Minnesota senator’s comments, which appear to contradict Romney’s public statements.

"With all due respect to Sen. Coleman, he's wrong," snapped campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul, reports The Hill. "Gov. Romney can and will repeal Obamacare and is committed to doing so."

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh poked fun at Coleman’s remarks Wednesday, imitating Romney as the candidate rails on about Obamacare in public appearance after public appearance.

“Romney's out there, the first thing he says at every debate, [imitation of Romney's voice] 'I'm gonna repeal Obamacare. I'm gonna get rid of it. It's the last thing we're gonna have, it's destructive. It will tear the country apart'," said Limbaugh, adding, “Every debate. Every campaign appearance. Every speech. He probably dreams it. ‘I'm gonna repeal Obamacare.’ Romney adviser: ‘No, we won't be able to repeal Obamacare. There's no way. You're never gonna be able to get rid of it in its entirety.’ "

Romney and all of the GOP presidential candidates have made the repeal of Obamacare a central election theme.

Coleman went on to say in the BioCentury interview that Obamacare “may collapse” if the Supreme Court, in a much-anticipated ruling later this year, strikes down the insurance requirement.

"If there's a Republican president, what you'll see is states getting waivers ... granted and then starting again, making sure that we lower costs, which this act hasn't done, while we provide better access," Coleman added.

In announcing Coleman’s selection as an adviser in September 2011, Romney said the one-term senator’s "advice will be critical as I lay out my vision for improving our economy at home and strengthening our partnerships around the world.”

The American Action Network, which is chaired by Coleman, advocates striking down the individual mandate and expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare.

FLASHBACK: ROMNEY WANTED TO ‘KEEP THE GOOD, REPEAL THE BAD’ ON OBAMACARE



Although Mitt Romney repeats his opposition to Obamacare on federalist grounds and is consistent with his criticism of the price controls enacted by Obama's national plan, he is seen giving much more praise for Obamacare in this clip from 2010 than you hear from him today on the campaign trail.
