Dumb Politics

Roman Catholics are 23.9% of the U.S. population - one heck of a voting bloc. You have to wonder why the Obama administration took the recent election-year action which has so angered U.S. Roman Catholics.

The action requires Catholic hospitals and schools to offer employees health insurance covering drugs and procedures which the church finds sinful and abhorrent. It might be good health policy but it is really bad politics and could prevent Obama's reelection.
