Did Obama Welcome Those Catholic Lawsuits Over Contraception?

This week, 43 Catholic institutions filed Federal lawsuits against the President's mandate that they must cover the cost of contraception as part of their health insurance programs.  Don't think for one moment that Obama didn't expect this.  He did, and he welcomes it.

Obama knows that, other than liberal Catholics, most other liberals in America hate the Catholic Church.  It's a Church that has always been openly against abortion, homosexuality; and, now, against women's supposed right to contraception.  Therefore, these lawsuits are essentially energizers for his political base.  He's making the assumption that liberal Catholics aren't going to go against him on this  issue because they probably already use contraception.  At the same time, he's hopefully calculating that non-Catholic liberals will be stirred up and angered enough to come out in droves to vote for him in the Fall.

Even though these lawsuits will probably wind up with the Supreme Court striking down the President's contraception mandate, he could care less because, by the time the Supreme Court weighs in, he, in theory, would have already been reelected.
