Did Michelle wear something inappropriate or man handle the Pontiff. I hear the gift they gave the Holy Father was a boxed DVD set of Jeremiah Wright's sermons, and signed copies of The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons.

I didn't think the chosen one (B0) would be seen shaking hands with a Christian? I thought Christianity was taboo to the great Zeus?

Oh, so witty. NOT!

I would expect something better from a soccer fan. Again, not!

Michelle could've given the Pope a backrub like W did the Chancellor of Germany. Oh wait, The Obamas know a little something about tact & diplomacy as well as having people skills.

Funny, the Queen wasn't as upset as conservatives looking for anything to whine about. Michell was a bigger hit in the UK than Bush ever was and that's why Obama is a gifted leader.

Say what you like about the Pope. He is a contradiction to the church leadership in Utah. He reaches out to all political leaders.

YOur blind and foolish support of all and everything Obama does and you silly worship of Obama, is bordering on, if it has not already crosssed over to, ridiculous.

When believe someone can NEVER do anything wrong that is a dangerous thing.

"Your blind and foolish support of all and everything Obama does and you silly worship of Obama, is bordering on, if it has not already crossed over to, ridiculous."

I don't worship men, they aren't Messiah's. You mistake me for a Dittohead's worship of Limbaugh.

I've lived through ten presidents. Obama is one of the best. Obama has no enemies list. He hasn't sold arms to Iran, cut and ran from Beirut, he hasn't asked to read his lips and hasn't lied about accomplishing missions.

He has, because of conservative deregulation, been tossed a historical mes to clean up.

Being a student of economics, Obama is doing the right thing. I understand that conservatives are blinded by greed and self interest, to the point they would destroy America's economy to make Obama look bad.

I hate racist. I hate National Socialism. I studied German history. I'm suspect of any group that singles out a group to blame like the Nazi's singled out the Juden (Jews) and Limbaugh has liberals.

You make so many erroneous assertions I do NOt know where to begin,

So let's go point by point,


YOu think liberals and extemeists on the left do NOT behave the same as those on other side of the spectrum.

WRONG! They act the same way.


Obama is CONTINUING EVERY policy of the former administration.

OBAMA IS RAISING TAXES for EVERYONE, and not only taxes but the money they have pay for things or energy, creating even a greater hardship for the poor.

OBAMA (and the democrats) HAS LIED.


conservative deregulation?

WRONG! conservative is NOT a party. Some conservatives are democrats (called neocons), only some republicans are conservative.

BUT more importantly is was FEDERAL GOVERMENT FORCING banks to make bad loans. not dereguaktion.

Banks make money on collecting interest, NOT on making BAD loans.


I have also live many presidents,

and Obama has by far the LEAST experience, and is the least wise,

and he is as bad if not worse than any in the last half century.

NONE have been perfect, and most over-rated.

Obama and past DEMOCRATS are just like NAtional socialists, taking over private business, banking, attacking free speech, interning japanese, and so forth.
