And here we are at the end of the week again. Today I thought my mailbox would be overflowing….
But such was not the case. I had one lonely message that said the message should be “Anybody BUT Obama.” – but I guess the rest of the people who had an opinion don’t want ‘bad feelin’s from the White House.’ Can’t blame them for that… but we do have to respond to the situation as it develops.
Speaking of ‘developing situations’ – apparently the White House doesn’t want to say too much more (at least Jay Carney the President’s mouthpiece didn’t) about the President’s disagreement with the Catholic Bishops over what was going to be the case of treatment of Catholic “Institutions” (as contrasted with churches” in regard to ‘Obama Care’s’ treatment of contraceptives being mandated for their churches. The temperature in the West Wing went hot and cold and hot again as the Bishop of Washington let it be known that the President had ‘broken his word’ – at least that was the language I understood from his appearance on FOX NEWS Thursday evening.
My guess is they badly misjudged the reaction of the New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, feeling personally betrayed. He appears to be a very cool calm and collected Archbishop – but also very determined to hold either the President’s feet to the fire on this ruling that the President had evidently given his word he would not do – or hold his nose to the grindstone until he changes the Catholic and other minds on this issue.
Well… these are things that pop up on the way to getting re-elected – or trying to get re-elected. I suspect neither the Archbishop nor the President expected this ‘bump in the road’ – but as it develops… I think it will turn out to be a BIG bump not a little one.
Times up for this week. See you Monday.
Cordially, in HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
‘TIS HARD FOR A MEETIN’ – NOBODY CAME!
Just a Minute: Now I know where I stand in the ratings -- or nobody wanted their names read on the air today. Maybe they thought it would get back to The President.
Heretofore I’ve thought most of the troubles that plague the Nation now should be laid at the feet of the Obama Administration. But the Rasmussen NATIONAL tracking poll has Mr. Obama three points ahead of the GOP front runner; Mr. Romney. That’s within what they call the ‘margin of error’. -- I certainly don’t call that comforting.
There was one somewhat lonely message in my e-mail box which said: “Anybody but Obama.” But I didn’t want to embarrass Mr. Smith… Oh…excuse me!
I heard Sen. McCain say he lost 19 state contests before he won the nomination last time – so the results from the
