I agree. There was a thread on this yesterday. The US Vatican embassy isn’t in the Vatican. And it’s apparantly going into a new building (so not just a different door) on the Rome Embassy’s grounds. With assurances that the two embassies will remain distinct...

This probably makes sense from a security standpoint, and is going to save money. I bet the current Vatican Embassy is worth millions for both the building and land.

Thanks. I would have preferred that the Michael Schaus 'ers of the world get their basic facts correct, before posting article such as he did on Townhall.

We have real things to criticize Obama (and his legions of supporters) over.

If there wasn't such thing as our own embassies coming under attack, being now increasingly under threat (how much so, possibly, in Italy -- I cannot say for any certainty) , then this could be seen as deliberate snub, perhaps. As it is...let's not get our facts wrong, and look foolish while doing so.

Obama has seemed to have mastered an art of "baiting" while combining that with deflection, and an easy setting up grounds for his critics to be criticized as extreme -- if not nutty.

Look at the birth certificate goings-on. Those are STILL continuing, with Obama and Co. getting away with not having settled it honestly and forthrightly from the beginning (he could have spent 20$ or so for a copy, himself) but chose to string it all out, allowing the critics who hounded him into looking like extremists, thus mollifying those among his own supporters who may have doubts as to other things...for the thinking goes among them...anything the slightest "Fox News" is mis-info, therefor anything critical of Obama is a lie, blah, blah.

So--- the Obabamtrons bait and feed, hoping for over-reaction they can pull out like yet another rabbit out of a hat, when the going get's too close to focusing on what's really going on. In this instance --- focus can shift from dealings with Iran, to something allegedly "against" the Catholic church -- and get people talking about the latter, rather than the former.

Then, when they can get people to drag the "church" into it (not limited to the RCC, mind you) when it comes to the ongoing discussions concerning ObamaCare forcing everyone to pay into a system which not only "provides" birth control pills (why no deductible for those things? you tell us, Democrat Naral types) but the REAL stinker -- paying for abortions themselves(!) red alert(!), this is the part they don't want to talk about, it's called "women's reproductive health", instead.

See how it works? Once we see it better, we may have better chance of not letting the discourse be so easily so perpetually defined and controlled by DemoRat operatives and sympathizer/useful, over-educated but still-- idiots.

We have to be smarter. We need to learn how to be cunning, even manipulative, while remaining harmless as doves, ourselves.
