The Church is not to judge and Apostle Paul directs the Church to obey the authority of the land. Certainly, Obama's more pacifist stance was a more desirable choice for the Orthodox then the Republican platform. Apparently the majority of Catholics in America sided with their Orthodox brethren. That by no means implies that in doing so they approve of abortion.
As for the comparison to Alexander the Great, the comment was a customary remark in the Mediterranean region, drawing a parallel between the method of Alexander the Great's approach to solving hopelessly entangled problems (cutting the Gordian knot) efficiently and liked it to Obama's approach to solving problems.
LOL
The Church wears the mantle of prophecy and just as Samuel took Saul to task, Nathan berated David, Elijah to Ahab, etc. The Prophets acted as conscience to the political rulers who forgot God. That is still their duty.

How Any Christian can call America's premier promoter of infanticide a pacifist is simply beyond my ken. To say that they weighed the deaths of military volunteers (approx. 5,000: more Americans have been killed in the free Democratic state of Illinois since the war began, but I digress) and weigh the aforesaid 5,000 against the slaughtered 50,000,000 innocent lives in America's holocaust and think Obama's stance is more acceptable or humane is just plain old evil.
