He garnered the majority of Catholic votes in the 2008 election, but a number of Catholic groups now say President Obama is showing a complete lack of regard for their beliefs. They count his decisions to lift restrictions on abortion and stem cell research among the most offensive. "As far as the Catholic church goes, there's no bigger priority for Catholics than human dignity and human life," said Cathy Ruse, senior fellow at the Family Research Council said. "And the Obama administration has just been an assault on those values again and again in just two months."

you get what you vote for....
Only some? Why are they Catholics then?
Hey idiots, got buyer's remorse now?
Anyone dumb enough to fall for the “messiah’s” BS and then vote for him needs be disappointed.
Well duh! I’m Catholic and I knew what Obama stood for! These people who voted for Obama knew what he stood for yet they chose to vote for him anyway, and then they express shock at the things he’s done?
Forgot the word dipsh^t in front of the word Catholics.
Because only a complete fool could not have seen what Obama would be like.
SOME? If you are Catholic, it should be all that voted for him would be disappointed!
Not you Annie, these cafeteria catholics.

“As far as the Catholic church goes, there’s no bigger priority for Catholics than human dignity and human life,” said Cathy Ruse”
Then why in hell did they vote for this $@$*(^*@$^$(*)@^$
Islamophilic Communist???????? White guilt??????????
The guy has a LOOONNNNG record supporting baby killing.
HELLO???? Is there intelligent life up there in the American voter’s BRAINS????
Well, DUH!!!!
The Church also gave ACORN $6 million to help elect Obama. Total insanity. The Church in the USA is very liberal. The Pope must be disgusted with them.
Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
What about the CINO’s.
If there is a “D” after a candidate’s name you will ALWAYS be disappointed.
Some day Americans will learn.
Oh, come on! How can they honestly claim to be surprised?
:He garnered the majority of Catholic votes in the 2008 election:
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
I, as a Catholic can NOT belive this.....NO !!! NOTTA!!
Gee, that didn’t take long.
Jewish response is Next.....as soon as they get in line behind the disappointed Un-employed Obama Supporters.
Were these folks napping or living in a cave for the past two years? This fraud’s beliefs have been public record and easily available on the Internet for several years. Seek and ye shall find, folks!
Some? Only the Catholics who are breathing?
“The Church also gave ACORN $6 million to help elect Obama. Total insanity. The Church in the USA is very liberal. The Pope must be disgusted with them.”
IF what you say is true...IF ...A LINK PLEASE to prove your charge...
ANY Catholic who voted for this monster is now outside the Church for the cooperation of empowering a great evil.
If there is a D after a candidates name you will ALWAYS be disappointed.
Not true!
I’ve never been disappointed by one because
1. I never had any expectations that I would like what a Democrat would do.
2. I never have voted for one.
Some of the “Catholics” who voted for Obama are leftist dissidents. But a fair number of them were probably just ignorant.
Frankly, the statement of the US bishops’ conference on the politics of abortion, issued last summer, although orthodox in principle, was exceedingly stupid, because it seemed to qppear racism with abortion as equally serious sins. They are not, unless by “racism” you mean actually going out and killing people.
Also, McCain was an ass. He barely raised this issue, and he completely discredited himself with Evangelicals by treating them with confusion and disrespect. The same with Catholics. He should have attacked Obama as an extreme baby killer, who three times voted to let children die who are born alive; but he refused to do it.
In other words, there was a lot of ignorance, helped along by everyone who should have been outing Obama for what he really represents.
WTF????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that is truly the case, NO Catholics should have voted for nobama. He laid out his plans regarding this during the campaign. No one should be surprised at what he has done.
Hey Shannon Bream, who's your editor? They are not very good.
That is a beautiful smear.
You must be very proud.
i have trouble feeling sorry for hordes of willfully ignorant people who wanted to see something in obama that the rest of us knew was not there.
Seriously, anyone who is disappointed in Obama is too stupid to live, let alone vote. He broadcast exactly what he was. Some people simply refused to believe it.
The Catholics who voted for him should be ashamed of themselves
Uh, sure.
As long as actual proof isn't a problem, fine.
I’m thinking also that there are many Catholics in the liberal east.
I don’t really get it because Obama has been consistently for abortion and Palestine.
Dear Catholic Church,
You were warned what a President Obama would be like months before the day of the election and you ignored those warnings. Now you want to cry about the choice you made. You’ve helped to move this country towards socialism with your voting actions. You do not now get to bleat about the pain this has caused you, while ignoring the reality of the pain you’ve caused the rest of us. Cry to someone else - I’m all out of sympathy for morons.
So did Jews.
Other than Jews, as a group Catholics are the stupidest voters in the US.
Obama campaigned on doing these things and his votes proved his intentions as well. If they still voted for him and are just NOW figuring this out, I call em as I see em, they are flat out stupid.
Doing EXACTLY what he said he would do and they are disappointed? I guess they were just too blinded by his dazzling oratory and his promises to “bring people together” and all that bull. Or they figured his voting record couldn’t be real. After all, he seems so nice. Just because he voted for unrestricted abortion doesn’t mean he would do that as president.
I don’t know what world these people are living in.

What is the current status of ACORN’s CCHD funding?
Last June, CCHD cut off funding of grants to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) groups because of questions that arose about financial management, fiscal transparency and organizational accountability of the national ACORN structures.
During the CCHD Bishops Subcommittee meeting November 8-9, 2008, the Subcommittee voted unanimously to extend and formalize ending CCHD funding of ACORN organizations. This decision was made because of serious concerns regarding ACORNs lack of financial transparency, organizational performance, and questions surrounding political partisanship.
They stopped funding them in November 2008.
I think some people are actually in shock to discover that Obama really IS a politician. Say anything to get voted. That’s what happens when you vote on someone you know nothing about except what they tell you.
As many lies as this dimwit has gotten busted for, is there anyone who still believes his AUTO-biography?
Substitute whatever group in my post and it still works.
I have some advice for anybody who voted for 0bama and doesn’t like anything he has done or will do while he is in office: DON’T EVER VOTE AGAIN! YOU AREN’T NEARLY SMART ENOUGH TO VOTE! HE IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THOSE OF US WHO ARE SMART ENOUGH TO VOTE EXPECTED HE WOULD DO! THAT IS WHY WE ALL VOTED AGAINST HIM!
That is funding from the CCHD, not the Catholic Church.
Here’s your link and apparently, it was $7.8 million before finally wising up after the freaking election.
I’m outraged at their outrage! I hope these “misled” Obama voters, especially feel the pinch in their pockets...

The C in CCHD stands for Catholic
Those that profess faith and didn’t know he was the most pro abortion candidate, should go to hell for their vote.
http://www.philly.com/inquirer/world_us/20081123_Bellwether_Catholics_sided_with_Obama.html
On his way to a decisive victory, Barack Obama won a majority of the nation’s Catholic voters, a closely watched swing group that has sided with the winner in nine of the last 10 presidential elections.
Sad, but it seems to be true!
