mounting any kind of political opposition. let me just say contrary to what charles said, i think that the president here showed a willingness to hear other people. by the way, i'm not sure i agree that the president should have done anything. if you look at the poll numbers, the poll numbers are consistent. miles per hours think -- >> bret: to that point, fox news poll out on this issue requiring all employer health plans to provide birth control coverage. 61% approve, 34% disapprove. >> it's overwhelming. americans think you should have this as part of your coverage. to suddenly say we are going to now, let's say accommodate one faith and let's say i don't know you have a muslim hostel, separate men from women. i don't know. it would never be ending. this was to me an effort by the president to quiet a furor spawned as a wedge issue. fed by lots of conservatives.
