Obama gave a great speech and then I had to watch that and it just got me pissed off. He also made not so subtle anti-choice language and used "religious freedom" as code to justify keeping birth control from women. How the hell could they allow him to give this right-wing political speech, because let's be honest that sure as hell was not a prayer.

but it's not going to convince any of the Catholic voters who think their religion dictates a vote for Romney to switch, so there probably wasn't much point. And Dolan decided to erase any doubt that this was a bad idea.
