Most Americans want health insurance.

I think there is a shared sense of urgency in Washington on fiscal issues.

I think that for the next short period of time, our No. 1 priority is Congress needs to do its work and extend the payroll tax cut.

The challenge for any government is how do you do two things at the same time. How do you put money forward for things like the payroll tax holiday, for things like getting a jump-start on infrastructure, for building schools, and make the decisions for long-term deficit reduction.

From the very beginning the president [of USA] had two very important principles that had to be reconciled. One principle is that every woman should have the right to all forms of preventive health care, including contraception. The other is that we need to respect the religious liberties which are the cornerstone of American life.

The issue of providing women all forms of preventative health care has been and remains very important. The, the importance of protecting religious liberties in this country has been important to the president and will always be.

I can't speak to the differences within the Catholic Church.
