So many people seem to be missing the major underlying point of the Obama/Church/Birth Control issue. People have let themselves become so lost in the minutia that they've failed to see this for the nightmare it really is. The president of the United States of America has decreed that entity A must provide for entity B just because he says so.

The president of the United States has just ordered private companies to give away for free a service that his own health and human services secretary has repeatedly called a major financial burden.
On what authority? Where does it say that the president can unilaterally order a private company to provide an allegedly free-standing service at no cost to certain select beneficiaries?
This is government by presidential fiat. In Venezuela, thats done all the time. Perhaps we should call Obamas accommodation Presidential Decree No. 1.
