Birth Control Coverage Rules Announced by Obama Administration

So 8 years of George W Bush’s ineptitude can be attributed to poor timing? Um, okay.

What ineptitude? We had 9/11 and the consequent wars; we had the final bursting of the housing bubble. He happened to be president then.

And one cannot say that Obama has presided over a good recovery; all this administration has done is to cover the problems really well. There are still many who want to work but cannot find work, and we had quite a long period of “quantitative easing.”

Despite numerous legal setbacks, this administration seems more determined than ever to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to acquiesce in providing contraception. It’s just amazing.
…

It’s not that amazing when you consider what’s really going on. The vocation of the Little Sisters is being witnesses for the Gospel. If they caved in to obama’s demands, they wouldn’t be very good witnesses, now, would they? And if they did cave in, what would be the next demand? The Little Sisters would no longer have much of a leg to stand on to oppose future demands.

None of the three had much to do with what happened economically during their administrations: Clinton benefited from the dot.com boom; Bush suffered from the collapse of the housing derivatives market; Obama has benefitted from the fact that when you’re at the bottom, there’s only one way to go.

Bingo! People adjust to the new normal things seem better than they actually are.
