www.boston.com/news/local/articles_of_faith/2009/06/white_house_con.htmlWhite House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs (right) has just confirmed that President Obama will meet with Pope Benedict XVI in Rome. Here is the transcript, courtesy of the White House:
"MR. GIBBS: Just one quick announcement before we get going with questions. On his upcoming trip overseas, on Friday, July 10, the President will visit with the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI to discuss a range of issues, including their shared belief in the dignity of all people. That's on the upcoming trip.

Yeah, ive seen this before! That is great if they agree on the issues at hand! Of course, the Pope is going to lay into him about Life Issues and Civil Unions, but on everything else, they agree. Obama was shown to be way more "in line" with Catholic Teaching on everything else than any other Presidential Candidate. Obama used to go to Catholic School for 3 years and he also worked with The Catholic Church serving poor communities in Chicago when he got out of Law School. |

Gosh he has been catholic, muslim,baptist...what else? Obama has never "been" anything but a Protestant. Just because his father was a Muslim and he went to Catholic school, it doesn't mean that he was either of the two. He was never indoctrinated into either faith. He by his own will chose to be a Protestant. |

I don't understand how this President's faith is any different from the last President's faith.
With Bush, I never saw any evangelical's doubting his faith, even until the end of his presidency. But Obama professes the exact same religion and most evangelicals think he is an imposter.
I wonder what their standard of measurement is in determining such things?

But Obama professes the exact same religion and most evangelicals think he is an imposter. I wonder what their standard of measurement is in determining such things? Well, it's different because most racists are Evangelical Christians (and I've met some racist Catholics too, but their American Catholics who put "America First" over their Catholicism too). I'm not saying most Evan's are racist, but that most racists are Evan's. Bush is Irish and most Irish are Catholics. No one ever accused him of being a "closet Catholic". But when it came to President Barack Hussein Obama, then all of a sudden it's an issue. Why? Because they want to make him a foreigner. It amazes me how President Obama who was literally born "in" The United States of America was not preferred over John McCain who was born in a foreign country (Panama). President Obama is more "American" than John McCain is. And it will forever be that way. McCain is just a "naturalized" foreign born American. President Barack Hussein Obama is an "American Citizen" period! Hail to The Chief!  |

Well, you know what cepha.... i was not alive in the years before 1865! So this white gal had nothing to do with slavery. Even though the slavery did not officially end till July 1, 1928, my mother had nothing to do with it nor her mother. So, the colored folk cant keep blaiming me.
I mean, you act like we are still a widely divided amercia, whites vrs. people of color. Its bs.
SO, lets stop blaiming people, and move on like the rest of the world! LOL
