Today Mr. Obama had an audience with the Pope at the Vatican. Both men had quite different agendas. There is no doubt that some of the beliefs Mr. Obama has are in direct conflict with the doctrines and beliefs of the church, especially on subjects like abortion and social justice. Mr. Obama seemed to be trying hard to shore up his image in the wake of falling approval numbers in the recent polls. The Pope it seems was much more concerned with the poor and under privileged. John Kerry was also in attendance, witch is sort of ironic considering the fact that he is a staunch supporter of a pro life philosophy. Mr. Kerry is also a Catholic and I had to wonder if one of the Pope's Cardinals pulled him aside to speak to him about this philosophy.

Mr. Obama is a man of words, not of action. He enjoys leading from behind, which speaks volumes about why his foreign policy is a complete failure. I personally have never been a big fan of Mr. Obama, whenever any politician lies repeatedly I am smart enough to realize it is generally about self perpetuation and not for the good of our country. Obama Care is an excellent example of this. What I found quite interesting was the difference in the press releases from the Obama camp that was in direct conflict with that of the Pope. This comes as no surprise as Obama is a known secular left wing progressive politician. Obama's idea of social justice is to spread the wealth, basically taking from those who are successful and providing entitlements with no strings attached to those who may be less fortunate. What has always amazed me is that Obama fails to realize that opportunity, education and hard work are the path ways to economic success and stability, not handouts, food stamps, and welfare payments.

Many pundits speak of Obama's lack of leadership skills. But if you actually think about it how could anyone realistically expect Obama to be a strong and decisive leader. He never ran a business, he never balanced a budget, he never had the executive power nor experience to hone any of these skills, until he became our president. He is in fact inept and inexperienced. Most of our allies now view Mr. Obama as an empty suit. His failures in Syria as well as Benghazi point to less than stellar actions on behalf of the most powerful man on the planet. Now as Iran is about to go nuclear we need only look to Obama for his total failure concerning his foreign policies. Appeasement and negotiation with terrorists is never a good idea, you will end up on the short end of the stick so to speak, ever single time.

I wonder how the Pope actually views Mr. Obama? Obama seems to be struggling within himself, I think he is beginning to actually realize what a rookie he actually is on the world stage. I think he finds this troubling and he does not know what to do about it.

My personal view is that Mr. Obama and his administration are corrupt and congenital liars. Obama has proven to me many times that he has no regard nor respect for our Constitution and the law of the land. He reminds me of a small child, he wants what he wants, when he wants it. All of us already know this is not how the real world works. It is a real shame that Obama does not realize this fact.

Voted the 2 coolest people in the world. Any problems Obama has are all due to the total, mindless obstruction of a-hole Pubs and ignorant hater dupes. End of story. Also, thanks for the stupidest wars ever and wrecking the world economy, shytteheads.
 
There were two different discussions too. The real one and the one that happened only in obama's head.
 
Obama is ..................like................a Christian............

And he TOTALLY acts like that new pope today.

"give your money to the poor and follow me" type of stuff.

It's like eww.
 
He actually thought he could lie and the Pope wouldn't call him out. Hilarious.

The presidency is a giant popularity contest, nothing more. Hence why Hilary won't ever be president.

I need to remind you that I am a conservative, but I am not a Republican, I am an Independent. I believe blatant obstruction is never a good thing for anyone. I did not support the wars we fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, those people have been fighting with one another for more than 3000 years. We are naive in believing we can "fix it" in those countries. More than 80% of their populations are illiterate and they pretty much believe what ever they are told at the moment regardless of the credibility of what they have been told. Our nation has paid a huge price in treasure and American lives for an impossible mission with very unrealistic expectations. I actually believe most presidents do about the best they know how to do, which sometimes turns out not to be the actual answer but more often than not their actions are laced with political agendas rather than sound and wise decisions. But to be absolutely honest when I look at the past five years of the Obama administration being at the helm. I am truly disappointed and concerned. The out of control spending, the national debt, the blatant and continuing disregard for our Constitution and our laws. a corrupt and dishonest Department of Justice, wasted billions on pipe dreams that were not well thought out, Obama Care, a law based on lies and deceit that is hurting not helping most Americans, it now in fact has been labeled a train wreck. Then you have Obama himself, he is an eloquent speaker and he is a master of spin, but he is not a man of action he is indecisive and inexperienced, in short he is not really qualified to be Commander in Chief. He seems to be completely lost on the world stage and his foreign policy is a complete failure in every sense of the word. I expected much greater things from him but he has proven to me that he is incompetent and lost is a maze of self delusion. Those on the far left like to play two cards almost always, they play the race card or they pull out the blame card. Blame never solved any problem ever and the credibility of the race accusations is in my mind very suspect, I do not believe all of those on the right to be racist, that concept is ludicrous. I will leave you with this, in the Marine Corps we had a saying and it is very true and that is, piss poor planning, equals piss poor performance. I have seen and watched Obama do literally no planning and even less constructive action. I will however award Mr. Obama with four Pinocchio's as he has proven himself to be a congenital liar as well as a fraud. Being cool does not mean you are an effective and decisive leader, I guess it means you can appear on TV between two ferns.
 
They're both steeped in Marxism and because they're the more equal than other animals, they don't care about its 100% Fail Guarantee

What you basing this all on?

Give an example of an "effective" leader.

Because using Presidents like George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan..

Obama comes off as much more effective, by "conservative" standards, then either.

-He's spent less.
-Government has become "smaller" (in terms of number of people employed).
-Businesses have seen record profits.
-America's enemies have been eliminated (Notably Bin Laden and Gaddafi).
-The energy sector is producing more.
-America's auto industry is thriving.
-American imports are going down.
-American exports are going up.
-Manufacturing is growing and manufacturers are coming back to our shores.

And even that old Chestnut, "gun rights" have been expanded under Obama.

Reagan issued the Assault Rifle ban. Obama actually signed a bill allowing guns to be carried in National Parks.

So..what are you going by?
 
I thought he would make a good president. I really did. But he turned out to be just another smooth talker. I didn't want him the second time, but I guess many did.

The presidency is a giant popularity contest, nothing more. Hence why Hilary won't ever be president.

Well no..but okay..

It does take a certain amount of Charisma to win the office.

And Hillary certainly has that.

At this point in time? No one can beat her.

Hilary and charisma in the same sentence?

Are you out of your mind?

Old women need SUBSTANCE in order to reflect and project charisma.

Hilary's only charisma is Bill's charisma, and the name "CLINTON" which she would ditch in a heartbeat as soon as she accomplished anything on her own.

At this time, when there's nothing going on, 2 years before the election. She might have the charisma, but does she have what it actually takes? Why did she lose to Obama?

Look at each president since the 1970s, look at their picture, what do you see?

Well your "analysis" seems to overlook the fact that Hillary (with 2 ls) became a lawyer, won a Senate seat and became Secretary of State, on her own.

It also seems to overlook the fact she was a consensus builder in Congress and was able to hold her own with foreign leaders on the world stage.

Ms. Clinton has also gotten good notes from the press on her speaking abilities.

Not really sure what you are basing this post on..

FOX?

NEWSMAX?

Glenn Beck?

Nothing going on?

The election cycle has already begun. And attacks on her have already been set in motion. Republicans are going to keep up the Benghazi "investigation" until 2016, bank on it. And they are going to map it to her.

And not sure what you are referring too.

Things have changed dramatically since the 70s.

Really.
 
He actually thought he could lie and the Pope wouldn't call him out. Hilarious.

obama actually thought he could not only lie, but call the Pope a liar, until he was reminded that the entire meeting was recorded.
