Hubris, yes, and just something about the whole thing strikes me as wildly inappropriate. "We?" The President and religious leaders (Well, those who agree with him anyway) are our partners in life and death? No frickin' thanks, Barry, I didn't pick you at all, let alone marry you. Step back from the crack pipe and look at the second half of that old First Amendment for a sec. And as for the rabbis or whatever, they not only don't KNOW any more facts about this subject than anyone else does, they also tend to ignore any actual facts that don't fit their belief systems, so I'll pass on taking any life-altering advice on healthcare or insurance from them, too.
