Obama Thanks Pope for 'Our Work Together Over These Last Four Years'

In a statement marking his retirement, President Barack Obama thanked the pope for "our work together over these last four years."

"On behalf of Americans everywhere, Michelle and I wish to extend our appreciation and prayers to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Michelle and I warmly remember our meeting with the Holy Father in 2009, and I have appreciated our work together over these last four years. The Church plays a critical role in the United States and the world, and I wish the best to those who will soon gather to choose His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI’s successor," Obama's full statement reads.

Our work together over the last four years ...

In Obama's mind, when the smoke goes white, he will resign as President, since he will have been elected Pope ...

Sheesh !!!

We can be fairly sure the Pope wasn’t working with this goof on abortion, gay rights or killing people with flying robots.

OUR WORK TOGETHER —wow, what do I say..?

Did Obama give him a going away gift of an iPod with all his, “I hate Christianity”-speeches?

This man.....is disconnected from reality.

"What is it with Obama? Every time I mentioned 'the destruction of religious liberty,' he said 'I'll get on that right away.' "

What a bad joke. Even if Obama “worked”, which he doesn’t, he would be at odds with the work of the Pope.

I don’t think Obama is a very complex thinker. The Catholic church deals in absolute truths...this pope denounced relativism.

Imagine what he thought when Barry rationalized himself into a reversal pn gay marriage. The two are polat opposites.

I’m sure that one of the Pope’s fondest memories will be of the audience that Obama granted to him.
