Obama ‘Very Comfortable’ With FDA Decision On Plan B

[ProSense]

18. OK,

"The point was that Obama's statement and the latest FDA policy in re Plan B are in conflict with the Justice Department's decision to appeal the recent ruling, and that it's not unusual for the Justice Department to act in ways that seemingly contradict statements made by this administration and positions we might reasonably expect a Democratic leader to hold."

...so now you want to discuss the issue and not go on about the thread-jacking comment. Fine.

What are you talking about? The FDA and the DOJ are the administration. The President said:

"The rule that's been put forward by the FDA, Secretary Sebelius has reviewed, she's comfortable with it -- I'm comfortable with it," Obama told reporters at a press conference in Mexico, taking questions alongside Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto after a bilateral summit.

"I'm very comfortable with the decision they’ve made right now based on solid, scientific evidence," he added.

And as I pointed out in the response to the first question, the DOJ is representing the FDA:

“This is a decision that the Justice Department is making in representing our client: F.D.A.,” the official said. “This is not a political decision. It’s not had White House intervention or involvement. This in our judgment is the right legal step to take in this case.”
