americans. we certainly don't want to abridge anyone's religious freedom. we are going to look for a way to move forward that both guarantees women that basic preventative care that they need, and respects, respects the prerogatives of religious institutions. >> dana: earlier today one of our colleagues, fox news contributor and columnnist for daily beast kirsten powers wrote about this and said i'm not catholic. i support contraception, but this is madness. andrea, i think the administration has a tiger by its tail here and they didn't realize the tiger has teeth. >> andrea: another instance of this white house i think being tone deaf and not expecting the blow back they are seeing. think about how this angers catholics. people of all religions will be offended by this. particularly in states that matter to him. you mentioned yesterday you see them walking this back. you made a prediction. >> dana: sometimes you can

feel it coming, a tide. maybe this is getting bigger than we anticipated and they didn't lay the groundwork enough. >> andrea: they seem to be softening that language. >> dana: it's weird to me it came from the campaign and not white house. >> andrea: exactly. if you look back in 2008, joe biden came out and said i will shove my rosary beads down anybody who suggests, down someone's throat who suggests that the democratic party and our position on social issues somehow puts people at odds with their religion. this is what this does exactly. >> dana: the reports were, eric, vice president joe biden did advise against this. and sometimes when you give advice it's not taken. >> eric: right. a quick timeline. january 20, obama administration finalizes the ruling that sterilization and contraception, morning after pill has to be supplied and offered by everyone with the exception of the catholic church, so catholic school and hospitals. so february 6, kathleen sebelius depends the decision yesterday in op-ed and you saw the campaign today.

david axelrod walking back, trying to soften it saying we'll try to work with everyone. here is the question, though. 1200 healthcare waivers are outstanding right now. 4 million people. including the town of frisco, colorado, six states, hundreds of companies including cracker barrel, red lobster, wigly wigly, waffle house and ihop and 417 unions. you can't exempt the catholic church. >> dana: they are exempting for different reasons. not they're exempted from the conscience clause. >> eric: if you give 417 unions exemptions why can't notre dame university get an exemption? >> bob: apparently mr. carney didn't get the message from campaign. the press secretary came out and said, i agree with the statement, that women everywhere, no matter they work ought to have a right to contraception. leaving that aside, they clearly walk it back.

probably politically, it makes some sense. i'm not sure that bobby and suzie in middle america get up tomorrow and say my god, this is terrible. i don't think it's that big of a deal. >> andrea: i disagree. >> bob: obviously you disagree. they'll walk it back. >> dana: bob wrings up a point -- brings up a point -- greg. sorry. >> greg: call me whatever you want. >> dana: i'm looking right at you. that brings up a question not about use or ability but compelling someone to provide. the message has gotten muddied. the bigger question in obamacare, there is a mandate that contraception coverage be provided for free. >> greg: yeah. this makes no sense. >> dana: that part gets to us. >> greg: two elements that drive you crazy here. the decision is supposed to help make birth control afford to believe millions. how much more affordable can you make it? it's like $50 a month. should we start a by the bell campaign. feed the children. we make sure we all adopt a

woman and pay for her pills? anybody can afford this. number two, this is a government that has bent over backwards to avoid tying radical islam to fort hood and radical islam to any other kind of attempted terrorist activity in america. where is the sensitivity when it comes to catholicism or christianity? it disappears. >> eric: 70 million catholics right now are going i'm not sure i want to vote for obama if this is the way he feels. we have archbishop dolan saying not only will it play out in the court, it might play out in the streets. >> andrea: it's not just -- >> bob: you think all 70 million will get up and worry about that? >> andrea: a lot of them will get up. not just catholics. evangelicals, jews. it's anybody who has religious beliefs and is asked to break them by administration. atheists and libertarians, or independents say -- listen, i'm an atheist but this is an overreach of government.

>> bob: what is a government going to tell an atheist to do? >> andrea: c'mon. >> bob: they have to go to church? is that it? >> dana: mention the conservative and catholics and jews and luth rans turn to in the united states senate to be their champion. it wasn't a senior elder statesman of the senate. it was senator marco rubio, the junior senator from florida. he wrote as americans we should be appalled by activist government overbearing and mandate on the american people that it forces a choice on religious institutions. our commitment to religious freedom is part of what makes americans exceptional and unites as a people across the political spectrum. i think he sounds more presidential than that, than some of the presidential rhetoric coming from anyone in the republican campaign or even from the white house. i thought that was interesting they chose him as the person to lead them. >> eric: if i'm not mistaken he tried to write a bill -- >> dana: he has legislation. >> eric: it's getting shot

down. first it was getting shot down, like you said, the white house said no. this is what we decided. but now the campaign, the obama reflection campaign says maybe -- >> andrea: one hand is not talking to the other. >> dana: one thing they said today maybe they will institute a grace period of one year. to me, that is not a compromise. they also used language like we're trying to find a balancing act. i think they have gone -- the straw that broke the camel's back. >> greg: kicking the pill down the road. >> eric: funny! that is funny. >> greg: going back to the rubio thing. i hope somebody is translating this whole controversy in to spanish, because this is the bad news for president obama. there is a lot of people out there, he doesn't want to have card check. but they're very religious people and they go to church. >> andrea: that's why it's no coincidence that rubio is delivering the message. look at the key catholics and hispanics. ohio, florida, they look at the numbers and they are

saying what were we thinking? >> dana: if they just do it for a year, in the back of people's minds if you're on the fence and who you'll vote for, they'll do it for a year. but if he gets in a second term and they have a split congress bill what stops them from doing it in the first place? >> bob: they could make jews eat pork or atheists going to church. any number of thing -- >> andrea: i'm shocked as born again christian you're not a little bit more -- >> bob: look, you know what i have a problem with? i love kick the pill down the road. that was good. what i find amazing is the catholic hierarchy and archbishops coming down on this. these are the boys that should have taken care of their own problems before get out there. >> eric: wow, you open up a -- >> greg: that is addressing an irrelevant question that was never asked. >> bob: what was the -- that is not unusual, answering irrelevant question around this table that wasn't asked.

especially with obama. >> eric: for the catholic church, i love how the cardinal elect dolan is standing up. love how they're standing up to the obama administration. makes me feel good being practicing catholic. we ideology and we go to church every day, we believe in it. good for you. >> dana: guess what? you have a constitution, too. >> andrea: if this does make it to the court, the ruling that sotomayor and kagan just came down on a unanimous ruling, ruling that churches, religious institutions can pick their own clergy, that is the same thing. i think if it goes in the court, it will lose. >> bob: when they call every one of you in the street, if i'm you, get out of the street. 70 million is a lot of people. get out of the way. >> dana: they'll try to trivialize it but they have a problem and that's why they're trying to fix it. coming up, president obama changed his mind in allowing big money in politics. he has been complaining about it for a while but now he needs the cash for his political war chest. we have details next. e-mail us at

government that embraced basic human rights, had independent judiciary and it is a great piece of work that was done. >> greg: we should look to south africa? my liver is in better shape than south africa. this is from a woman who is a guardian of the american constitution. like the pope saying he never liked the new testament. days ago president obama told nbc attack gerbil matt lauer this. >> what frustrated people is i have not been able to force congress to implement every aspect of what i said in 2008. well, you know, it turns out that our founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change that i would like sometimes. >> greg: stupid founders. how funny that weeks ago obama envisioned america that is built to last. the one thing that really lasts he wishes would -- anyway.

if this isn't a prime example of how far they will go to counter american exceptionablism, what is? if there is one document that defines the american system is probably the constitution, not the lyrics to "imagine." although john and yoko unlike the constitution aren't as old orators, which is how the "new york times" describe -- or terse. which is how "new york times" described the constitution. the point is they say america is nothing special. that it's become as quaint as granny's ribbon candy and just as hard. if only the constitution could be witty as betty white, cozy as a snuggie. but it's too mean and rigid. maybe zimbabwe could come up with something better. bob, in the break, you were telling me how much you looked forward to this monologue and you wanted to jump right in and tell me what a great job it was. >> bob: i am not part of

them to do. that is why the document is there. >> dana: let me defend the supreme court as a body. one thing we argue on the contraception issue if it were to go to supreme court it would lose based on the precedent of the supreme court own making because three months ago, in a vote of 9-0, they pushed back on the administration. i might not agree with her on every issue but it's not contempt. it's just different interpretation. that's why this is important. if you look at the makeup of the court and age of the justices, the president in the next four to eight year will have impact on the supreme court. the nominees will be younger and helicopterrier and live for longer. all of our children -- i don't have children. by any of the relatives live under obama, romney, gingrich, paul or santorum court for generation.
