POLL: Should Obama Apologize to NH Catholics?

NH House Speaker William O'Brien thinks so.

Weather permitting, President Obama is expected to fly into New Hampshire shortly after noon today for an appearance in Nashua. And while many are excited by his visit, there are those who are less enthused.

Among them are House Republican leaders. In a statement issued Wednesday, House Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, said Obama needs to apologize to New Hampshire Catholics for his administration's contraception mandate.

O'Brien is supporting a resolution calling for the rescinding of the policy, according to the Union Leader, in addition to a bill that would allow employers to refuse to pay for contraception coverage on the grounds of a religious objection.
