"Mandatory sterilization? It’s to save the planet..."

Only for people of the wrong color...

[EyeGuy]

Nice photo-op with the Holy Father, and by far the most pro-abortion American President in history.

So much for Benedict being an enforcer.....

[ltc8k6]

Exactly.

Obama always says what he belives the audience in front of him wants to hear.

He is never held accountable for this though.

[CASchack]

Sure. Obama will encourage wider use of RU-486, which he can rationalize as not abortion. After all, oral sex wasn’t sex to BJ Clinton.

[techno]

LIAR.

It was reported around the time that Obama was to visit Notre Dame that somebody in his administration admitted that one of their goals was NOT to reduce the number of abortions in the USA.

[manc]

wants to decrease abortions and yet gives more funding for it here and overseas.
Why does my tax money pay for it, why am I paying for this freeloading family to go to different countries, form the mother in law to the racist angry wife to some street trash who is with them

I hope the Pope turned around and called him on how he is funding this

Now off to Africa

WHY?????????????

so he can give more of our money to fund more abortions

wonder what he said about homosexuals too

[Puppage]

Not nice to lie to the Pope

My first thought as well.

[Sopater]

I'm thinking it has to be some sort of sin to lie to the Pontiff's face, right?

It's a sin to lie to anyone, no matter how big or small his hat is.

[bboop]

Oh, good going Obi — he LIES to the Pope. Very bad.... I bet he has convinced himself that he is anti-abortion, even as he works hand over fist FOR it. Such a scum. At LEAST Michelle dressed appropriately. No lampshade sundress, no cut-offs, no bedspread wrap. At the very least. And this would be one man Obama SHOULD apologize to, for something, but I bet he did not.

[steve86]

The antiChrist lies. I’m sure Benedict is discerning enough to heavily suspect that.

[evets]

"Don't want my daughters punished with a baby."

[MrB]

I’m not sure how a lib, even in their own mind, or even with a straight face, can say the goal is to reduce the numbers by making sure that everyone gets one that asks, and for “free”.

[BlueNgold]

Someone needs to ask him how this jibes with his nomination of a Ginsburg-esque candidate for SCOTUS...

[calico_thompson]

We’ll just wait ‘til they’re born before we get rid of them. Presto - fewer abortions. We’ll dream up an Orwellian name for the process - Something like post-fetal interventional morbidity.

[rovenstinez]

black man speaks with forked tongue.

[MrB]

I’m betting he didn’t bow to the pope like he did to the Saudi King.

[NYer]

But the Pope knows that already about the man and its why he gave him the gift he did today.

Bingo! Ratzinger is a brilliant theologian and an excellent judge of character. He is not fooled.

[Pyro7480]

And you’ve probably been fed the lies that have propagated since the English “Reformation.”

[FourPeas]

Lombardi said the pope was "very impressed" by Obama and that the pontiff was "extremely satisfied" with the talks.

I hope this is just diplo-speak.

[Colonel_Flagg]

I was speaking rhetorically, of course. But you are quite right.
