| ‘Father Barack Obama‘ mocked the Sign of the Cross at the White House yesterday. It was an open mockery of the Christian prayer that is accompanied by the immortal words used by peasants and kings over the centuries: “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”. Obama, who is right-handed, made the sign of the cross with his left hand, which out of respect for the centuries-long Christian practice, no one ever does. Obama’s left-handed sign of the cross was made over a gobbling turkey during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation Ceremony,

Comments: While 0bama is not a true Christian, his outright public blasphemy of a Catholic symbol will not sit well with God for our Nation. Remember, as our elected leader, 0bama may incite the wrath of God on US like a nuclear explosion. Whoever is in the blast zone is effected.
Makes you wonder what Christmas "surprise´´ he has for US true believers? BTW, don´t think that 0bama mentioned God in Thanksgiving "message" today.

Please..."Catholics" love this guy! He provides "free stuff" and that makes them feel more Catholic because they voted for him. As a Catholic, I say you can´t take them seriously...it´s all Nunsense...and Sandra Fluke.

Wait a minute... What makes anyone think obama has the first clue about his actions?
I saw the video of our "Home Boy" Prez pardoning those turkeys. No, he didn´t pardon Rice and Petraeus, he pardoned real turkeys.
In the video he went to bless the turkeys, pretending he was The Pope. Unfortunately, half-way through the blessing he had to look to his left to see how to finish the blessing. He could not even pretend to be The Pope without "off-screen" instructions.
He is the most clueless buffoon to ever be President of the USA, if you watch his actions.

Quite a few non-Catholics that I know use their left hands to make the sign of the Cross and I know for a fact that they aren´t Muslim. I don´t like him any better than any one else here, but I refuse to give him so much importance in my life. He´s just an ignorant fool and his daughters still think he´s funny. Mrs. Cow

0bama is left-handed, but that´s still no excuse. Probably about 10% of priests are left-handed and they use their right hand to make the sign of the cross.
What a clueless putz.

The pardon for the turkey didn´t last long. The turkey got sick immediately after being around obama and his off-springs and it is reported the turkey had to be euthanized. One wonders what type of illness he might be the "carrier". This definitely proves: His Word or Promises Don´t Carry any Substance. Always Subject to Change!

What a fool! Obama may think himself above his fellow men but if you mock THE creator you are on very shaky ground...wonder if he ever heard of inoperable brain cancers or a paralizing stroke that leaves you alive but totally immoble...GOD has many ways to deal with those who ignore HIS first Commandment...

I´ve been saying this since the beginning. The man is the Anti-Christ, the false Anti-Christ came first, Osama bin Laden, a lot of people thought he was the Anti-Christ, but as it is to be it turns out he was the false one followed by the REAL DEAL. I am not a hyper Christian or anything like that, but I am firm in my beliefs and this is one of them. It usually falls on deaf ears.

the ´´euthanized´´ turkey was last year´s - no one would say where he ended up, I´d bet on a platter.
I saw the vid of the presidential turkey pardon. When he made the sign of the cross over the birds I waited a few beats for lightning. At first I wanted to believe he was just ignorant. Then reality took my brain back under control and I realized that he´s mocking. Without a doubt...

Being left handed is irrelevant. One NEVER makes the sign of the cross w one´s left. Biblical admonitions about the right hand of God and the sign of sonship and blessedness ( ring olaced on right hand of orodigal son ) etc are the basis for this. Ø mocks Orthodox and Catholic traditins. "Be ye not deceived , for the Lord God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ". He who has big jug ears to hear, let him hear. Or choose not to. It s all up to the Ø.

This Romney-voting Catholic is not offended by this. Barry´s just stupid. I´m more offended by his deliberate mockery of faith-based institutions being forced by Obamacare to provide abortion and contraceptives in their insurance policies.
The sad reality is that in any given Mass you can find a poorly catecheted young adult who makes the sign of the cross with his left hand. And no one corrects him.

#18: Yes, he´s left handed and totally ignorant. And I agree with you with one question.
The question is: why did he even bother to do a sign of the cross? Is that part of the ritual of the pardon? I am Episcopalian but was raised in different protestant denominations. I still have a hard time remembering to make the sign in church. Why did he make a sign that has nothing to do with the occasion or the denomination he practices? I still think it was a form of mockery, but not the left-handed part. That was just a physical inclination.

I´m not offended by it. Obama was trying to be funny like an awkward adolescent. Whenever he tries to be funny he always ends up looking like an idiot. So the USA is going to have this perpetual adolescent as president for another four years. Oh, how I wish Romney had won! It would have been so nice to have an adult as president in January!

The communist is out to wipe us from the earth. I want believe that Obama isn´t one of those but a friend like Clinton was, as Eisenhower, Kennedy and Reagan were. Belief in Bush has been to our detriment. Why, George? Why? Disaster looms but I pray constantly for Divine aid. No more war or welfare. We want to enjoy the fruits of our labors, again.

The president has pardon power, enshrined in the U.S. constitution. That power is not religiously related. making the sign of the cross is offensive under those circumstances with the turkeys - something a h.s. punk would do. And - I was raised a Catholic, and I am left handed. And no one makes the sign of the cross with the left hand, unless they do not have a right hand.
President Zero likes to do that subtle mocking of Christianity. His muslim upbringing is the source of that mocking.

He wasn´t making the sign of the cross. He was giving a blessing to the turkey. In the traditional sign of the cross, I touch my forehead with my right hand (for The Father), my heart (for The Son) and myself -- both shoulders for the Holy Spirit and to complete the cross. I´ve never seen anyone but a priest or deacon give the blessing to someone or something else. Makes no sense to me (a Catholic who can´t stand the sight of him). BTW, we have lots of lots of CINO´s in the Catholic faith. And lots of cafeteria Catholics too. A true practicing Catholic could never vote for him.

He makes the sign of the cross over the turkey and it gets so sick it has to be put down? I think God or his angels are trying to tell us something in these little signs as I do not believe in coincedence. The presidential seal fell off the podium, the rodent ran across in front of the podium, a fly landed on his face during an interview, these are ones that come to mind, and now the turkey is dead after a blessing. Beezelbub.

Just an observation, but the Moslems consider the left hand to be the "unclean" hand. They use the left to clean their backsides after defecating...
So, using the left is insult. Hence, the reason they take off the right hand of a thief.
I think 0bama knew exactly what he was doing. And, all his Moslem brothers are howling in delight.

46, Eastern Orthodox make e sign of the cross e original way. We predate the roman church by 1000 years. Roman church changed the form of making the cross to left to Ruth from original right shoulder to left. And we have never stopped holding thumb and first two fingers together to symbolize the Holy Trinity, w last 2 fingers down for the Divine and human Natures of Christ. Why did Romans change to open hand and left to right ? May seem silly to some, but we have kept the faith unchanged for 2000 years. Dogma and practice. Christ is timeless for Orthodox Christians and His message is even more relevant and needed today than ever before Changing the liturgy and dogma to suit modern times for our convenience is what has led to those of millions of adherents.

To make the sign of the Cross "humorously" IS mocking. There was no reason for a nonreligious person to "bless" the turkey; the gesture is totally inappropriate and could only be intended to mock, and using the left hand only made it more so. It´s just more evidence of his juvenile uncouthness, like giving people the finger. He´s a disgrace to the office of President.

Kaitlyn Hunt was arrested Feb. 16 for having a physical relationship with a younger classmate, who was her girlfriend at the time, mom Kelley Hunt Smith wrote on Facebook. Under Florida law, Hunt could see up to 15 years in prison and must register as a sex offender. A plea deal, however, remains on the table that would give Hunt two years´ house arrest and one year of probation, her family said. “Does my daughter deserve to lose her life for

As the impasse over Tehran’s nuclear program worsens, those most likely to be directly affected by an Iranian bomb are showing greater alarm. While the media fixates on Israel and its possible reaction, other regional players have no less at stake. Despite Riyadh’s long-held advocacy of making the Middle East a zone free of weapons of mass destruction, there has been much speculation in the past few years about the possibility of its acquiring, or developing, nuclear weapons should Tehran obtain the bomb. In the words of Saudi King Abdullah: “If Iran developed nuclear weapons (...) everyone in the

The Vatican has denied claims that Pope Francis performed an exorcism, after TV images showed a man apparently reacting to him putting his hands on his head. The encounter - during Sunday Mass - was shown on a TV channel owned by the Italian bishops´ conference. The station quoted exorcists as saying there was "no doubt" the Pope had either performed an exorcism or a prayer to free the man from the devil. Its director later apologised for "having altered the truth". The Pope´s spokesman said he "did not intend to perform any exorcism".

Mexico City - Guatemala’s highest court on Monday threw out the genocide conviction and prison sentence of the former dictator Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt. The decision by Guatemala’s Constitutional Court was a dramatic legal victory for General Ríos Montt, 86, and a blow to human rights advocates who had called his conviction a sign that Guatemala’s courts would no longer allow impunity for the country’s powerful. General Ríos Montt was sent to prison immediately after the verdict on May 10 when a three-panel tribunal found him guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
