Has Obama Awakened A Sleeping Giant?

Peggy Noonan has a superb column in the Wall Street Journal about an Obama decision that may in fact cost the president the election.
Noonan believes that Obama may have awakened a sleeping giant -- a giant that is 30 million voters strong, about 27 percent of the electorate.
This is a huge voting block and one that some people believe has previously been all too docile. But Noonan's betting they sure as hell won't fall for Obama's latest affront and his slippery attempts to wiggle out of it.
Here's an excerpt from the column:

President Obama just may have lost the election.
The president signed off on a Health and Human Services ruling that says under ObamaCare Catholic institutions—including charities, hospitals and schools—will be required by law, for the first time ever, to provide and pay for insurance coverage that includes contraceptives, abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization procedures. If they do not, they will face ruinous fines in the millions of dollars. Or they can always go out of business.
In other words, the Catholic Church was told this week that its institutions can't be Catholic anymore.
I invite you to imagine the moment we are living in without the church's charities, hospitals and schools. And if you know anything about those organizations, you know it is a fantasy that they can afford millions in fines.
There was no reason to make this ruling—none. Except ideology.. . .
The ruling asks the church to abandon Catholic principles and beliefs; it is an abridgement of the First Amendment; it is not acceptable.
