Saturday, February 11, 2012 – Daily News Obama says religious hospitals needn't offer birth control WASHINGTON (AP) — Under fierce election- year fire, President Barack Obama on Friday abruptly abandoned his stand that religious organizations must pay for free birth control for workers, scrambling to end a furor raging from the Catholic Church to Con- gress to his re-election foes. He demanded that insur- ance companies step in to provide the coverage instead. Obama's compromise means ultimately that women would still get birth control without having to pay for it, no matter where they work. The president insisted he had stuck by that driving principle even in switching his approach, and the White House vehement- ly rejected any characteriza- tion that Obama had retreat- ed under pressure. Yet there was no doubt that Obama had found him- self in an untenable posi- tion. He needed to walk back fast and find another route to his goal. The controversy over contraception and religious liberty was overshadowing his agenda, threatening to alienate key voters and giv- ing ammunition to the Republicans running for his job. It was a mess that knocked the White House off its message and vision for a second term. Leaders from opposite sides of the divisive debate said they supported the out- come — or at least suggest- ed they probably could live with it. Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, the head of the nation's Roman Catholic bishops and a fierce critic of the original rule covering hospitals and other employers, said the bishops were reserving judgment but that Obama's move was a good first step. Greek PM says default would lead to 'chaos' ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's future in the eurozone grew increasingly precarious Friday as vio- lence erupted on the streets of Athens and dissent grew among its lawmakers after European leaders demand- ed deeper spending cuts. The country's belea- guered coalition govern- ment promised Friday to push through the tough new austerity measures and res- cue a crucial (euro) 130 bil- lion ($170 billion) bailout deal, as six members of the Cabinet resigned. Prime Minister Lucas Papademos promised to ''do everything necessary'' to ensure parliament passes the new austerity measures that would slap Greeks with a minimum wage cut during a fifth year of recession. ''It is absolutely neces- sary to complete the effort that began almost two years to consolidate public finances, restore competi- tiveness and economic recovery,'' Papademos told an emergency Cabinet meeting. Debt-stricken Greece needs the bailout money before a (euro) 14.5 billion bond deadline on March 20 and strike a vital debt-relief deal with bond investors. Budget deficit on pace to pass $1T for 4th straight year WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal deficit was lower through the first four months of the budget year than the same period last year. Still, the deficit is expected to top $1 trillion for the fourth year in a row, putting more pressure on Congress and President Barack Obama in an elec- tion year. The deficit totaled $349 billion through January, the Treasury Department said Friday. That's $70 billion less than at the same point last year. January's monthly deficit was $27 billion, roughly half of the deficit in January 2011. The White House later confirmed a report that President Obama's new budget predicts a $1.3 tril- lion deficit for the full fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1. The figures were first reported in The Wall St. Journal, which viewed leaked draft budget docu- WORLD BRIEFING ments. If the administration is correct, the 2012 deficit would be the same as last year's imbalance. The gov- ernment ran an all-time record deficit of $1.41 tril- lion in fiscal 2009, and a $1.29 trillion imbalance in 2010. This year's deficit is run- ning lower in part because of higher corporate tax receipts, the department said. That has boosted gov- ernment revenue to $790 billion from October through January. Syria says suicide bombers kill 28 in attacks ALEPPO, Syria (AP) — Two suicide car bombers struck security compounds in Aleppo on Friday, killing 28 people, Syrian officials said, bringing significant violence for the first time to an industrial center that has largely stood by President Bashar Assad during the 11-month uprising against his rule. Anti-Assad activists denied any involvement and accused the regime of set- ting off the blasts to smear the opposition as govern- ment forces pummel rebels in one of their main strong- holds, Homs. State media touted the bombings as proof the regime faces a campaign by terrorists, not a popular uprising. The military stepped up its siege of Homs, where hundreds have reportedly been killed over the past week. Soldiers who have been bombarding the cen- tral city made their first ground move, storming into one of the most restive neighborhoods. Troops and security forces opened fire on anti- regime protesters who streamed out of mosques after Friday prayers nation- wide. At least 27 civilians were killed, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Romney defends record WASHINGTON (AP) — GOP presidential rivals made contrasting appeals to conservatives Friday, with Mitt Romney saying he proved his met- tle as Massachusetts gov- ernor and Rick Santorum saying Romney is so moderate that electing him would be a ''hollow victory.'' Their speeches to the Conservative Political Action Conference came as Santorum tries to con- vert his surprising caucus wins this week into a resilient, muscular cam- paign and Romney seeks to persuade conservatives that he won't disappoint them.
