| President Obama dismissed the notion that an American pope would be too closely aligned with the U.S. government, pointing out that America’s Catholic bishops “don’t seem to be taking orders from me.” “It seems to me that an American pope would preside just as effectively as a Polish pope or an Italian pope or a Guatemalan pope,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Cardinals Timothy Dolan of New York and Sean O´Malley of Boston are two Americans who have been mentioned as potential successors to retired Pope Benedict XVI. Mr. Dolan has become a

Well, since ALL of the American bishops are on record as opposing the HHS regulations, I don´t think an American pope would pay attention to anything you said, Mr. President.

Obama just had to insert himself into the Papal election process by commenting on one of the obscure factors that the Cardinals just might think about for a moment or two as they vote for the next Pope. In reality Obama and his politics are irrelevant to the Roman Catholic Church, as it has been operating in it´s own way for 2,000 years, and will be doing that long after Obama is pushing up daises.

The Pope Opera was goin´ jus´ fine without a Kommie Dicktater injecting himself into the mix.
The best example set by Benedict is that if you are not up to the job, retire.
The Wannabe Kommie Dicktater should get a clue and take a page from the Pope´s example. Resign now before further disgrace.

And if his name is Sean O´Malley, the people of Ireland and the people of Latin America will rejoice with us. Cardinal O´Malley is a great friend to the people of South America and well thought of. His also a Franciscan. I kinda like him...a lot. But it´s not up to us. It´s up to the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit does have a sense of humor.

"…Pope taking orders from me..." fully illustrates this narcissist muslim´s dangerous arrogance and what he thinks is within the scope of his "power." Q. Who ever suggested this would happen, Barry? A. No one. This pig from hell responds before there´s a question because, in his mind, there is no one on the earth who shouldn´t take orders from him including an American Catholic Cardinal were he to become Pope. He is a sick man drunk with power and he´s dangerous— he´s also hell bent on destroying America as he leads us closer to the financial abyss from which we may not recover.

First, Obama has already destroyed your country. What you think of as transformation is a coup. He has bankrupted you and your children. He has convinced you to hate the country your father bled for, so that you might have freedom. In your national insanity, you are surrendering that freedom for nothing. McCain is a star player in the coup, one of the loyal opposition who will threaten anyone trying to preserve the Constitution from the era of "no controlling legal authority." This President is right now undermining Netanyahu´s ability to rule in Israel. So he wants Netanyahu to take orders, or he will sanction world wide hatred of Israel in your name. This President needs drone/RPA power, to enforce his personal fatwa should you become one of those newly defined enemies of America. Stop believing in the Constitution, stop thinking too much about his Anti-American nominees for high office, stop analyzing what he meant by the "future cannot belong to those who would blaspheme the prophet." Secondly, the new Pope and his team of thugs has already eliminated a sitting Pope for the first time in 600 years. You are now watching a charade. This Pope may be the last Pope, according to St. Malachy - characterized as "Peter of Rome" -- who serves the church during the "tribulation." This Pope, may also be the False Prophet, who will shill for the Anti-Christ. So I ask you with ears to hear: who is not already taking orders from Obama? The Press? The Republicans? When Obama spits out a lunatic thought like this, in a time like this, maybe he is being revealed to those who would cut off their arm before they would sell out their country, not to mention would vote for him.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
