Am I wrong to think that any sitting President of the United States should believe that he should be representing the best interest of all Americans, not just the ones who voted for him and as such should be sensitive to be doing anything that is not necessary to National Defense or to save American lives that would offend or alienate any of the people he serves?
So I ask, why is he doing this? The only possible reason I can see is that he is doing it to elevate himself above God in the eyes of Americans and even the world and to mock Christians by showing that to even the Catholics of Notre Dame his presence is more important than their own beliefs.
I'm not surprised that the MSM in general has not asked why, but I am surprised Catholic conservative commentators such as Hannity have not asked why.
Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals probably provides the answer, something along the lines of dividing his opposition, generally stirring up controversy, creating distraction from other issues and actions. It's all about acquiring and consolidating political power for himself and his inner circle. I agree with you that more people should be asking "why".
