Two top advisers to President Barack Obama тАФ both Catholics тАФ warned him of the potential for controversy over his decision to require religious organizations to cover contraceptives in their health insurance plans.

┬а

Vice President Joe Biden and former White House chief of staff Bill Daley both told the president that the decision would be cast as a government intrusion on religious freedom and that it could alienate Catholic voters in swing states, Bloomberg reported Wednesday. The decision has whipped up a frenzy of criticism for the president that heтАЩs been battling since the move went public.
