President Obama should give his own televised hearing/interview to Sandra Fluke

Sandra Fluke is the law student that would have testified today at the congressional hearing. She was not covered for contraceptives and as a result lost an ovary which may make her infertile. Issa said that she was not qualified to testify and that what she had to say was not relevant.

Bottom line - Obama ought to give her a televised 1 on 1 hearing/interview so she can tell her story. Also, it sets Obama up as the defender of women's rights against an extremist and aggressive GOP.

The video summarizes the testimony Chairman Issa rejected at today's hearing: Sandra Fluke, who would have been the Minority's witness and the only female voice on behalf of millions of women who seek safe and affordable coverage for preventive health care.
