Bishop to skip Notre Dame commencement over Obama
Associated Press ^ | 3/24/2009 | KEN KUSMER

The White House issued a statement Tuesday saying Obama welcomes the “spirit of debate and healthy disagreement on important issues.”

“While he is honored to have the support of millions of people of all faiths, including Catholics with their rich tradition of recognizing the dignity of people, he does not govern with the expectation that everyone sees eye to eye with him on every position,” the statement said.

[FReepers: please substitute your pro-life denomination of choioce for the word "Catholic"]

This statement from the Obama White House takes the cake:

Although Obama respects
...Catholics with
their rich tradition of
recognizing the dignity of people,
he does not govern
with the expectation
that everyone
sees eye to eye
with him on every position.”

Translation: recognizing the dignity of people is not a priority for zer0, but he wants everyone to know that its nice that you Catholics care about such things.
Its almost funny that zer0 and his staff don’t realize that their patronizing dismissal of the “rich tradition of recognizing the dignity of people” (as if it were simply a quaint Catholic anachronism)(underscores zer0’s doctrinaire and total rejection of such a universal human tradition.

I don't see eye-to-eye with Obomba and his cronies on any one issue!

I am a pro-partisanship, monarchist!

The correct title should be, “Bishop to skip Notre Dame commencement over Obama”.

Please post stuff with legitimate titles. We have enough duplicates here already.

Notice the condescension in the White House’s response, casting the isssues in the language of relativism and multiculturalism.

“...Catholics with their rich tradition of recognizing the dignity of people..."

Appalling. The basic right to life is reduced to a "tradition", on a par with other religious "traditions" such as honor killings or stoning.

This [a]moral relativism is 100 times worse than his remarks about Pennsylvanians who bitterly cling to religion. This shall go down in infamy as one of Chairman Zero's most memorable quotes!

The leftist worldview rejects the value of all tradition in favor of the articulated knowledge of contemporary intellectual and moral elites.

These elites are defined as those who seek power to implement their superior vision.

With every new day, 0bama telegraphs his utter disdain for Christianity. I can’t WAIT for the chance to vote this a-hole out of office.

Yeah, the bastard.

I bet he got where he is by capitalizing and punctuating.

Maybe lots of people do.

How fake is that?

...including Catholics with their rich tradition of recognizing the dignity of people,

Hey, Obama...it is not a TRADITION...it is a COMMANDMENT from God. Remember the Ten Commandments...the one that says "Thou shalt not kill," did you ever read that? Probably not, since you were in Rev. Wright's church where hate and violence is taught.

And since you quit that church, under pressure from your staffers, where do you worship now? We have not seen you at any Church. Where do your children go to learn about spirituality and God's laws? As a President, what Christian examples are you setting? Whoops, dumb questions. You have no Christian values, background, beliefs. The only worship you do is in front of a mirror.

LOL! He is no liberal. He is a Marxist anti-capitalist statist. Liberal to Obama is Rush Limbaugh! This guy is so far left that Stalin and Hitler would think him a conservative.
