Obama turned down a chance to have Timothy Cardinal Dolan deliver a prayer at the Democratic National Convention after Dolan told Democrats he would be “grateful” to deliver a blessing in Charlotte. Dolan — considered the top Catholic official in the nation, as head of the Archdiocese of New York and president of the Conference of Catholic Bishops — tipped off Democrats a few weeks ago that he had agreed to deliver the prime-time benediction at the Republican convention in Tampa next week, Dolan’s spokesman Joseph Zwilling told The Post.
“He wanted to make sure that they knew that this was not a partisan act on his part and that he would be just as happy and grateful to accept an invitation from the Democrats as he would to have received one from the Republicans,” said Zwilling. “He has not been contacted by them” since, he added.
Obama and Dolan have clashed publicly over a health-care law requiring employers to provide abortion coverage.

Maybe they will build one of those little towers for the “blessing” at the dnc
The Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam. 20,000 Muslims are expected to attend, according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), led by one of the un-indicted co-conspirators in the World Trade Center bombing.
Snicker snicker! Score one for Dolan! I’m sure they were afraid of what he might say in his benediction (something pro-life, I’m sure). This is going to make the Dems look bad to a lot of Dem Catholics.
Thank you for posting this!
Re: This is going to make the Dems look bad to a lot of Dem Catholics
My feeling is you are either a democrat or a Catholic but you can’t be both
I hope so. Take the damn mask off, finally.
In any event, I plan to skip ALL TV AND CABLE telecasts of this pervert/progressive idiot convention and get my news here at FR.
Even then, I am refining my codes (e.g. #1, #2, #3 etc) posting alternatives where stupid and irrelevant and troll posts are made, and not contribute useful responses or hits to the expected trolls.
Has Jim mentioned what preparations, if any, are in place to deal with potential down time on FR or DOS attacks?
No biggie. Zer0 figures he can catch up with the Cardinal at the Al Smith Dinner in Oct.
The entire DNC convention is sure to be another typical liberal three ring circus with representaion by every collection of freaks, misfits, sexual perverts, disgruntled losers, snake oil peddlers, communists, and hate groups known to the modern world.
Each will be given prime time exposure in the center ring where they will concentrate on America bashing while the network talking heads get misty eyed and nod teir heads in solemn agreement.
The main theme of the convention will be what is wrong with America and Americans and what the democrats will do to bypass what is left of the constitution and make us more like Europe and the old Soviet Union.
This is going to make the Dems look bad to a lot of Dem Catholics.

I doubt it. Anyone who still calls himself both a Catholic and a Democrat is intellectually dishonest, at the very least.
I agree with you, but really, WHAT mask? "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" screams "MOOSELIMB" at a billion decibels to anyone with half a brain.
I think Jeremiah Wright might be available.
Taking a cue from the London Olympics opening ceremony.

I finally bit the bullet, and cancelled my cable on Comcast.
I am hoping to watch the convention right here on my computer. Isn’t C- Span going to cover it online?
If not, I wonder where else on the net I might find it.
I have no interest in hearing any of the talking head’s running comments. We have no journalism at the present, unfortunatley.

Man, I hope you are right. Nobody talks about it, but EVERYONE is sick of Muslims. The simplist way to put it for most people is, that if there were no Muslims, we wouldn’t be in Afghanistan, and there would still be the twin towers.
Women on both sides of the aisle aren’t wild about them either. It’s funny to watch Akin get it in the teeth for the legitimate rape comment, and he likely deserves what he’s getting, but its tough to tell the difference between rape and regular sexual relations in a Muslim marriage.
