“If I had to name my greatest strength, I guess it would be my humility,” Obama said. “Greatest weakness? It's possible that I am a little too awesome.”
The words I have for this unbelievable POS cannot be written on a polite forum.
Another view of the controversy. I sincerely hope Cardinal is setting a trap.
Before we get in an uproar at Dolan, every POTUS candidate has been invited and attended the Al Smith Dinner since its inception. Obama went off course at the 2008 dinner as he got political and that’s a no no at the affair.Think of it as a Catholic version of a celebrity roast.
I hope this fundraiser raises exactly what it’s worth: thirty pieces of silver - blood money.
There is a tradition of asking all POTUS candidates, no matter how evil or anti-Catholic they are. But I must say this is the worst scandal ever.
Obama—even worse now than when he was invited to Notre Dame.
Romney—a tax-funded baby killer of the first water, as this article briefly mentions.
What a pair!
The fundraiser—the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner--will benefit the foundation, which Cardinal Dolan serves as board president. The foundation's website says it provides funding “for healthcare causes.”
Al Smith, a three-term governor of New York, became the first Catholic presidential candidate in U.S. history when the Democratic Party nominated him in 1928.
Mitt Romney, who as governor of Massachusetts determined that Catholic hospitals in that state would be required to distribute Plan B abortion pills to rape victims, will join Obama as a keynote speaker at the white-tie dinner.
Speechless.

....the New York Times posted an article with an explanation from the archdiocese on the invitation to Obama. “It is the tradition of the Smith dinner to invite the presidential candidates in the presidential election years in the spirit of nonpartisanship, good humor and good fellowship,” archdiocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling told the Times.
Ping for later
And, if this article is factual, Dolan is willing to have present the guy who will put Catholic hospitals out of business?
Looks like the Marxist-Socialists who make up the staff of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have faked Dolan out.
Time for a New Cardinal in New York. This is a Vatican matter and an issue that will tell if the Pope protect the Faith or politicians.
In the alternative, I can’t think of a better argument to force the church into Obamacare and to end it’s tax exemption.
