The American Spring Bears Poisonous Fruit

Persephone ate 6 pomegranate seeds after being abducted by Hades, thus condemning her to 6 months a year in the Underworld and 6 months above with the Gods of Greek mythology.

Once upon a time there was a bright, shining city on a hill… An evil, so vile as to level the city bore down upon it with its hellish dark army and vicious commanders rejoicing in the destruction of freedom’s only stronghold. I wish this were a fairy tale, then I could tell you that there would be a happy ending, but I cannot. However, there is an evil witch involved – enter stage left Frances Fox Piven wickedly casting her Occupy spell over America:

• The Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble.”
• “We’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”
• Different forms of protests that will engage many people.
• Occupy was helped by “sympathetic” press coverage.

For those of you who say that Piven and Soros are old and toothless, you’d better face their evil in its totality. Just because you don’t believe they want to bring us down, doesn’t mean they don’t believe in it wholeheartedly. Piven will revel in the chaos this spring and summer. She passes out poisonous fruit in the form of class warfare and hatred like candy. Soros is using his billions to reshape the world in his image and foment as much mayhem as he can in order to garner himself ever more power and wealth. Both of these people fancy themselves as divine beings, rather than what they really are – old spiders spinning killing webs with the help of useful idiots, the Occupy Movement and Anonymous.

Piven is predicting the Occupy Movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble” and will soon be taking action against banks and other institutions.

“It may well be that the Occupy movement is now in its second phase, in the phase where it makes trouble, in the phase where it threatens to shut down institutions,” Piven said. “The Occupy movement has moved into the neighborhoods of our cities, it has moved into the schools….This spring, we’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”

Piven went on to spew more wealth redistributionist venom:

“The people who were sitting on top of the world, the top-tenth of the top 1 percent, were guilty. They were guilty of thievery, of chicanery.”

From The Blaze: (videos on site)

The Occupy Movement has indeed partaken of the poisonous fruit offered to them. But there will be no prince to awaken them when they fall and God tends to turn His back on those who choose the wrong side.

Piven is certainly not alone in her efforts. From People’s World:

There’s another springtime swirling here: the rebirth of the Occupy movement. Organizers, “citizens of the Internet,” global activists and undoubtedly the infamous Black Bloc are planning to make a journey to the city that gave birth to May Day and the fight for the 8-hour day beginning on International Workers Day, May 1.

Now, pledging non-violence, Occupy Chicago and Adbusters, the group that brought us Occupy Wall Street, have sent out calls far and wide via YouTube, Tumblr and Facebook for 50,000 to descend on Chicago in May. Why? That’s when Chicago will be hosting meetings of G8 and NATO, two of the most powerful multilateral groups in the world, representatives of the global 1%. G8 represents the eight largest capitalist economies in the world and NATO is their military force.

Don’t let the fact that Obama has moved the G8 meeting to Camp David distract you. That move was a gift to the Occupy Movement. It telegraphed that they are a force to be reckoned with, to be respected, to be feared… Obama just strengthened the movement ten fold. The NATO meeting will still occur in Chicago allowing the Occupy Movement to fully display their communist wares for all to see in Chicago – the very heart and soul of corruption. The irony is not lost on me that the top dogs who are decrying the 1% are in fact, the 1% themselves. This isn’t about fairness or the wealthy – this is about power.

And what nefarious gathering would be complete without the treasonous Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn combo? Whackiness is sure to follow in multiple dark forms. From Bill Ayers:

The tiny fraternity of concentrated wealth and power that calls itself the Group of Eight (G8) is meeting in Chicago in mid-May, overlapping with representatives of history’s largest global military cohort, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), the gently self-named military behemoth dominated by the US.

Heads of state, spooks, foreign ministers and generals, cabinet members and secret operatives, advisors and bureaucrats— the 1% of the 1%—plan to gather in barricaded opulent surroundings while coordinating and conspiring to extend and defend their obscene wealth, to exploit the remaining fossil fuels, natural resources, human labor and the living planet to the last drop, and to dominate the people of the global majority.

A 1984-style national security dragnet is descending on the city to attempt to lock Chicago down. Chicago’s Mayor is concocting a culture of fear, suggesting that it is the human resistance to NATO/G8 that represents danger, outside agitators, violence and invasion. Universities and schools are being urged to close early in May; communities of color are told that this is not their concern; merchants are preparing for assault. In reality, NATO/G8 represents the masters of war; it is they who are the greatest purveyors of violence on this earth.

NATO/G8 will not be alone in Chicago: Occupy’s 99% will gather in a festival of life and peace, joy and justice. Two permitted, family-friendly rallies at the Daley Center and marches for justice, jobs and peace are scheduled on May 18 and 19 (and perhaps another on May 21). Music, dance, teach-ins and peoples’ tribunals will overflow the parks and theatres. We will all be there to open Chicago back up. In the spirit of the Arab Spring and Occupy, the Madison labor struggle, the Pelican Bay hunger strikers, teachers and nurses, the Dream youth, returning veterans against the wars, women insisting on reproductive dignity, foreclosure resistance, LGBTQ equality and,many more, Adbusters, CanG8, Code Pink, Portoluz and others have called for people to come from near and far, armed with their spirit and their creativity, pitching their tents and staking their claims.

We’re excited and you’re invited: Come to Chicago, May 18-May 21. Bring a sleeping bag, and if we have room, you can stay with us on the Southside.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has made it entirely clear that he alone will happily host NATO/G8, but that the 99% are decidedly not welcome. He has funding to further arm and mobilize the police and militarize the city; he has announced plans to contain and suppress demonstrators; he has pushed through legislation that restricts and criminalizes free speech and assembly, and requires insurance for public demonstrations; he is issuing a steady stream of pronouncements about Chicago-under-siege from ominous and dangerous outside forces.

But Chicago is big enough for all—it is after all a nuclear-free and cease-fire city, cradle of the Haymarket martyrs and the 8-hour day, labor and peace actions, vast civil rights and immigration rights manifestations, home of Ida B. Wells Barnett, Jane Addams, Richard Wright, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Studs Terkel. The rich and the powerful do gather here, but Chicago is a public space with historic parks, monuments, neighborhoods and streets for popular mobilizations as well—Chicago belongs to all of us. We underline the right—the moral duty—to dissent and demonstrate, to resist and to be heard, to participatory (not billionaire paid for) democracy. Mayor Emanuel can still change course, and he should; so far he has obstinately and foolishly chosen to frame mid-May solely in military and security terms.

The mayor, not the popular resistance, is creating conditions—once again—for a police riot in Chicago against people who have every intention and every right to assemble peacefully deploying humor and music, art and play, civil disobedience and imagination to forcefully express rejection of imperial and permanent wars, to challenge racial/ethnic/gender discrimination and hate, to demand justice, education, health care and peace, women and gender dignity, the opportunity for meaningful work and reversing epic income disparities, an end to mass incarceration, and the urgent need to shift course and live differently for the sake of the planet and future generations.

Join us in Chicago in May (or, if you can’t come, act in solidarity—Occupy the suburbs, cities, and communities across the land): stand up for civil and human rights, exercise your voice and be a witness, act up and speak out. Be part of a wave of people power, creative direct non-violent action, and the most vast, determined resistance in memory.

History calls!

Occupy the future!

Another world is possible!

Deception, thy name is Ayers. Rahm Emanuel is actually part of the movement, carrying out a brilliantly choreographed chess maneuver to forward the bottom up, top down, inside out endgame of this whole event (or should I say ‘emergency’). The whole movement is classic Cloward and Piven strategy. Overwhelm the system, bring down the nation, control the people. Occupy are the lemmings off the cliff. Revolt, cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war, whatever it takes… but don’t question your leaders and backers. Certainly don’t look at their motives too closely.

And somewhere in the mix, you can bet Van Jones will appear as a leader if not ‘the leader‘ of the movement.

“You’re going to see an evolution now as you go from protests, keep the protests, but now expand into politics,” Jones said. “And if you thought there was an earthquake in 2010 when the Tea Party moved into politics, wait until this 99 percent movement moves over into politics. You haven’t seen anything yet.”

Jones said the movement is “going to be recruiting 2,000 candidates to run for office now under this 99 percent banner“ as Occupy Wall Street enters ”phase two.”

“Phase two, you move from anger to answers. You move from pointing out the problem to pointing out the solutions,” Jones said. “What you’re going to see now is you have the Occupy movement at the center, that’s the beating heart.”

The Occupy Movement and Anonymous are the poisonous fruit of the American Spring. Everyone that touches it becomes tainted. They are being used by elites such as Piven, Soros, Van Jones, Ayers and Dohrn to bring down our Constitutional Republic once and for all. Their ilk has been at it for over a hundred years and they think victory is so close they can almost taste it.

Conservatives need to unite behind their chosen candidate and stand on strong conservative principles if they are to survive. We cannot be divided and defeat Barack Obama and the machine that supports him. We won’t survive another four years of his Marxist game plan. We need to make sure that the Progressives taste their own poisonous fruit and that we keep to the untainted fruits of our labor while trusting in God and the incredible vision of our founding fathers. Our American Fall needs to be an American Revival that cleans out our halls of government and ushers back in a moral, ethical and prosperous future for America — a harvest of the pure and righteous fruit of the Constitutional garden.

Obama: The G8, uranium & arms to Saudi Arabia: Israel must say no!

WASHINGTON, May 30, 2011 — Israel is the land of my dreams. The first time I visited Israel, I knelt and kissed the Holy Land.

I touched the stones of Jerusalem, thinking that King David, King Solomon and so many others had walked those paths, and I admired the beauty, the miracle that the Israelis had managed to build, right there in the middle of the desert.

Israel

And I admired the Israeli Jews, my tough brothers and sisters, and I kept smiling, thinking, "it’s okay, be patient, they are fighting for survival in the middle of those barbarians."

Last week, during a speech in Congress, most of us felt the force of leadership of a man whose country’s safety and existence were at stake. We heard his voice resonate through Congress like a roar, strong and decisive.

He was one of King David’s successors, Benyamin Netanyahu. The Lion of Judah had been awakened. 

A few days earlier, President Obama had unexpectedly asked flat out that Israel go back to its pre-1967 borders, a veiled maneuver to achieve the destruction of America’s best ally. He asked them to surrender territory that is strategically crucial to their defense from the usual, yet ever more ferocious enemies of the State of Israel.

But what, really, are Obama’s objectives? Let’s look his track record:

URANIUM

On December 2, 2010, the Obama administration approved passing control of two uranium mines in Wyoming to a Russian company, Uranium One, after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved transferring the mines’ licenses.

Thus Russia gained control of half of US Uranium production at the same time that it has been supplying uranium to Iran’s nuclear program.

On January 1, 2011, Ukraine sent a shipment of highly enriched Uranium to Russia for secure disposal, a move Obama lauded, saying it "advances a top priority for my administration and for global security."

The shipment adds, with Obama's approval, more weapons grade material to the Russian stockpile, again at the same time that Russia supplies uranium to Iran's nuclear program.

ARMS SALES

In February, 2010, Obama banned weapons sales to Israel, and at the same time authorized $10 billions in arms to Arab-Muslim states belonging to  Arab League, including Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

In September that year, Obama authorized the largest arms sale ever to Saudi Arabia, worth $67 billion. The package included 84 new F-15 fighters, as well as upgrades to 70 fighters already in the Saudi arsenal. It included three types of helicopters: 70 Apaches, 72 Black Hawks and 36 Little Birds.  The sale also included $30 billion in ships and hardware to upgrade the kingdom’s naval forces.

GROUND ZERO MOSQUE, AKA PARK 51

Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy reported,  “At a White House celebration of Ramadan tonight in the company of representatives of several of the Nation’s most prominent Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, President Obama announced his strong support for one of their most immediate objectives: the construction of a mega-mosque and “cultural center” at Ground Zero [area].  In so doing, he publicly embraced the greatest tar-baby of his presidency.”

Naturally, the President has been accused by relatives of 9/11 victims of “abandoning America” over support for Islamic cultural centre.

ITAMAR, ISRAEL

You might wonder, why bring up Itamar at this point?

We all remember the horrible massacre on Shabbat, when beasts murdered five members of the Fogel family while they were sleeping.

The Muslim Palestinian terrorists slit the throats even of the children, among them tiny three-month old Hadassah.

Slitting throats, Muslim-terrorist-style, is done slightly, so as to make the victim die slowly, in the most horrible pain while the blood runs out their bodies.

Why did this happen?

My friend, Leah Goldsmith, the wife of Itamar’s mayor, stated at a rally of support we hosted in NYC: “We are at war when people come on Shabbat to slaughter men, women, and children. President Obama has asked the Israeli government to remove the soldiers from the Tapuach junction near us, which protected the Jerusalem-Shechem road. [The Israeli government accepted Obama’s demands.] So you got the butchering of a family, then a bombing at a bus stop because the White House thinks that soldiers checking Arabs is a human rights violation.

"Itamar is on a mountain. To the west we can see the skyscrapers of Tel Aviv, and to the east, we see the Jordan Valley. Do you want us, or Hamas, on that mountain?” (Arutz Sheva, March 27, 2011)

G8 FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR SO-CALLED “ARAB SPRING”

In the same vein, Obama last week attended, in Deauville, France, the G8 summit of the leaders of some of the world's most powerful economies. They retain this status even though America is quasi-bankrupt and the other members, except Germany, are in dire straits as well.

At the G8 summit in Deauville, France rich countries and international lenders are aiming to provide $40 billion in funding for Arab nations trying to establish free democracies. The overall message from President Barack Obama and the other G-8 leaders appeared to be warning autocratic regimes in the Arab world that they will be shut out of rich-country aid and investment, while new democracies are encouraged to open their economies. (Image: Associated Press)

During the summit, despite America's near bankruptcy and despite the fact that Joplin, Missouri had been ravaged and hundreds of Americans killed by devastating tornadoes, the President of the United States decided that his top priority should be the financial support of Muslim countries by the G8. He claimed this would advance the cause of democracy in what his administration has taken to calling the "Arab Spring."

Obama succeeded in getting $40 billion committed to advance the “Arab Spring,” rather than trying to get it from the wealthiest Muslim countries, which should and could create that fund to help their own.

Notwithstanding America’s bankruptcy, Obama could have been presidential enough to get some of that money for the people of Texas and Missouri, ravaged by fires and tornadoes, respectively. He might even have suggested that the money go to Japan, a nation devastated by earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster.

Obama's priorities are not surprising from a man who, in his “Middle East” speech on May 19 said that, “we are connected to that region by forces of faith.”  Muslim faith, that is.

Each item in this list might seem small, but taken together, the picture they paint of Obama's priorities is damning. And the full list is much, much longer.

When Obama demands bluntly that Israel go back to its pre-1967 borders, it is a veiled way for him to set up Israel’s destruction.

Sadly, the suicidal collective viewpoint that has been developing in Israel since its inception is moving the likes of Ehud Olmert to speak up, in spite of the fact that Olmert’s moral corruption strips him of any kind of moral authority to speak up on any grounds.

Israel should only be burdened with one enemy, the enemy without.

Israel is at war, and this critical fact is ignored when it allows the enemy within, emboldened by Israel's most important ally, to become vocal and express opinions that are detrimental to the country’s security. 

Whoever speaks of giving up the strategic zones that are historically and forever connected to the heartland of the Jewish people should be incarcerated. These verbal attacks are even worse than exploding a grenade in the middle of innocent civilians.

The effect of a grenade stops with the victims.

The impact of any verbal and ideological attack by Israelis who are unaware and unwilling to identify themselves as Jews is such that those attacks can be repeated, retransmitted, copied, distributed and manipulated ad nauseam in this internet era.

Obama’s greatest victory would be to get Jews to harm other Jews, G-d forbid.

That should never happen.

Land for peace has never worked.  Any mathematician can easily say there is no chance, such a formula is doomed.

Peace for Peace. That’s a possibility.

Israel has only ONE possible answer to Obama.

ISRAEL, JUST SAY, FIRMLY, UNHESITATINGLY, “NO” TO OBAMA!

Obama in Ghana

"Ghana adores you" - Pool reports from Obama's trip to Ghana, from Peter Baker of the New York Times

Text Of Obama's Speech In Ghana - CBS News

While at G8, Obama told African leaders that they had to stop blaming others for their problems and to stop their greed.

Then in Ghana, Obama told the people, “You have the power to hold your leaders accountable!” Perhaps he should say that to the people of the United States… and perhaps we need to hold him, his administration and the Dems who control both houses or Congress accountable!! The United States has now hit at all time high debt of $1 trillion dollars in a single year and most of it is Obama and this Congresses and administration’s debt~

THEME SONG’ FOR OBAMA’S GHANA VISIT CONTAINS WARNING OVER ABORTION POSITION

The New York Times: The theme song of the last stop may have been provided by a Reggae singer named Blakk Rasta, whose song, “Barack Obama,” was played constantly during an arrival breakfast in Accra, Ghana, and had a way of staying in the head long after the travelers left.

The main refrain of the song was just a lyrical rendition of the president’s name, over and over: “Barack, Barack, Barack Obama.” The rest was a proud celebration of the first African-American president — “As you keep the fire burning, black president…” — flavored with some interesting political lines.

“Judgment will come with Barack for legalizing unnecessary abortions in Africa,” goes one line.

It Can't Happen Here

by Patrick J. Buchanan

So grave was the crisis in western China that President Hu Jintao canceled a meeting with President Obama, broke off from the G8 summit and flew home.

By official count, 158 are dead, 1,080 injured and a thousand arrested in ethnic violence between Han Chinese and the Muslim, Turkic-speaking Uighurs of Xinjiang. That is the huge oil-rich province that borders Pakistan, Afghanistan and several Central Asian countries that seceded from the Soviet Union.

Uighur sources put the death toll much higher.

The Communist Party chief in Xinjiang has promised to execute those responsible for the killings.

In 1989, fear that what was happening in Eastern Europe might happen in Beijing produced Tiananmen Square. The flooding of Chinese troops into Xinjiang bespeaks a fear that what happened to the Soviet Union could happen to China. Unlike Mikhail Gorbachev, the Chinese, as they showed in Tibet, will wage civil war to crush secession.

Already, Beijing has struggled to ensure perpetual possession of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet -- half of the national territory -- by moving in millions of Han Chinese, swamping the indigenous peoples, as they did in Manchuria.

The larger issue here is the enduring power of ethnonationalism -- the drive of ethnic minorities, embryonic nations, to break free and create their own countries, where their faith, culture and language are predominant. The Uighurs are such a people.

Ethnonationalism caused the Balkan wars of 1912 and 1913, triggered World War I in Sarajevo, and tore apart the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires. Ethnonationalism birthed Ireland, Turkey and Israel.

Ethnonationalism in the 1990s tore apart the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, and broke up Czechoslovakia, creating two-dozen nations out of three. Last August, ethnonationalism, with an assist from the Russian Army, relieved Georgia of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Russia has its own ethnic worries in Chechnya, Dagestan and Ingushetia, whose Moscow-installed president was nearly blown to pieces two weeks ago and where a Chechen convoy was ambushed last week with 10 soldiers killed.

The ethnonationalism that pulled Ireland out of the United Kingdom in 1921 is pulling Scotland out. It split the Asian subcontinent up into Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Iran, Iraq and Pakistan are all threatened.

Persians are a bare majority against the combined numbers of Azeris, Kurds, Arabs and Baluch. Each of those minorities shares a border with kinfolk -- in Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, Iraq and Pakistan.

Turkey has fought for decades against Kurd ethnonationalism.

If one were to wager on new nations, Kurdistan and Baluchistan would be among the favorites. And Pashtun in Pakistan outnumber Pashtun in Afghanistan, though in the latter they are the majority.

In Africa, the savage attacks on the Kikiyu by Luo manifest a resurgent tribalism, as did the horrors of Rwanda, where Tutsi in the hundreds of thousands were massacred by Hutu.

President Clinton may have apologized to the Africans for not sending troops to stop the genocide in Rwanda, but if the America of Obama is into interventionism to protect human rights, Africa in the 21st century should provide us plenty of opportunity.

Evo Morales in Bolivia, Ollanta Humala in Peru and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez are stoking the embers, goading the Indian populations, the indigenous peoples, to take back what the white man took 500 years ago. They have met with no small success.

The contrast between insouciant America and serious China today is instructive. China is protectionist; America free trade. China is nationalist; America globalist. China's economy is export-driven; America's base is consumption. China saves; America spends. China uses its foreign exchange to lock up overseas resources; America uses foreign aid for humanitarian assistance to failed states. Behaving like ruthlessly purposeful 19th-century Americans, China grows as America shrinks.

Where Beijing floods its borderlands with Han to reduce indigenous populations to minorities, and stifles religious, ethnic and linguistic diversity, America, declaring, "Diversity is our strength!" invites the whole world to come to America and swamp her own native-born.

Observing the lightning breakup of the Soviet Union, the Chinese take ethnonationalism with deadly seriousness. American's elite regard it an irrelevancy, an obsession only of the politically retarded.

After all, they tell us, we were never blood-and-soil people, always a propositional nation, a nation of ideas. Our belief in democracy, diversity, and equality define us and make us different from all other nations.

Indeed, we now happily predict the year, 2042, when Americans of European ancestry become a minority in a country whose Founding Fathers declared it set aside for "ourselves and our posterity."

Without the assent of her people, America is being converted from a Christian country, nine in 10 of whose people traced their roots to Europe as late as the time of JFK, into a multiracial, multiethnic, multilingual, multicultural Tower of Babel not seen since the late Roman Empire.

The city farthest along the path is Los Angeles, famous worldwide for the number, variety, and size of its ethnic and racial street gangs.

Not to worry. It can't happen here.

Obama Apologizes At G-8 For America On Climate Change Hoax: United States "We Have A Much Larger Carbon Footprint Per Capita"

Nowhere to be found in this President is the belief that American is a shining city on a hill...

"I don't think I have to emphasize that Climate Change is one of the defining moments of our time, the science is clear and conclusive and the impacts can no longer be ignored. Ice sheets are melting, sea levels are rising, our oceans are becoming more acidic and we've already seen its effects on weather patterns, our food and our water sources, our health and our habitats."

(At 1:55)
"Developed countries like my own have a historic responsibility to take the lead, we have a much larger carbon footprint per capita, and I know that in the past (Bush again) the United States have fallen short of meeting it's responsibilities, so let me be clear, those days are over"

Today it was reported that the Climate Change Bill will be pushed back until September

2008, We can keep our homes on 72 Degrees, and expect the rest of the world is gonna say o.k.

China and India basically said: Good luck with that Obama/America, because we aren't participating. And while Obama is looking to worsen our economy, lose more jobs by forcing the green agenda as part of his ultimate power grab and nationalization process or "Remaking of America Agenda"... China is looking to stop buying our paper because of the state of our economy and then changing the world currency standard away from the dollar, thereby ending our Super Power status in the world. Hello, America... when do we say stop???

Obama Meets the Pope, Makes It Out Alive - Updated

President Obama just wrapped up his visit with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. We’ll have to wait for word later from administration officials on what exactly the two talked about in their private sit-down. And no doubt the Vatican will have its own take. But reporters at the White House press file at the G-8 site in L’Aquila were able to see some of the visit on feed provided by official Vatican TV. Obama first met one-on-one with the pope, where the two exchanged the usual greetings as the president was escorted into Benedict's private apartment. The two leaders then went into the Papal Library, where Obama sat on one side of a very fancy wooden desk and Benedict sat on the other. As dozens of photographers captured the moment for eternity, Obama made small talk. “You must be used to having your picture taken,” the president said. The pope, with a faint smile, nodded. “I’m still getting used to it,” Obama told him. The pope gave him a careful look. “You must be getting tired,” Benedict finally said, referring to Obama’s lengthy foreign sojourn his week. Obama’s response was inaudible.

A few minutes later, Vatican TV suddenly cut to a feed that showed Obama and Benedict standing in a corner of the library, and First Lady Michelle Obama, dressed in a black dress and black lace head veil, had joined them. All three were smiling. There was no sign of the Obama daughters on Vatican TV’s footage, though reporters had been told they would be there. Your Gaggler did get to watch Obama introduce the pope to members of his inner circle, who looked collectively thrilled. Among those on hand: National Security Adviser Jim Jones, Deputy Chief of Staff Mona Sutphen, Senior Adviser David Axelrod, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and NSA adviser Denis McDonough. Upon meeting, Gibbs and McDonough kissed the pope’s hand—though other advisers, including Axelrod, who is Jewish, did not. Obama, Michelle and the aides posed for a group picture with the pontiff. For the record, McDonough, who confessed to reporters earlier this week that he was pretty excited about this event, looked the happiest we’ve ever seen him.

Afterwards, Benedict handed out official papal swag: boxes of blessed Catholic rosaries for the women and medals for the men. He presented the president with a painting of St. Peter's Square and an autographed copy of Caritas in Veritate, his recently-published take on the church's social teachings. (Do you think he meant that as a hint?) Obama, meanwhile, presented the pope with his gift: a stole that had been placed on the remains of St. John Neumann, the first naturalized U.S. citizen to named a saint. The group bid their good-byes, and it was done. The whole thing lasted a little less than an hour. The president is now on his way to Ghana, the final stop on his trip.

Pope Stresses Dignity of Life in Obama Meeting

Pope Benedict XVI firmly underscored the importance of upholding the dignity of all human life when he met President Barack Obama on Friday

CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY

It was reported that President Obama carried with him and delivered a note from Senator Ted Kennedy to the Pope. Since then, Senator Kennedy's neice has caused quite a controversy.

Kathleen Kennedy Attacks the Pope

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, has sparked controversy — and outrage — by writing that President Barack Obama reflects the views of American Catholics better than the Pope.

In a column for Newsweek magazine's Web site, Kennedy Townsend — eldest of Robert Kennedy's 11 children — asserted: "Obama's pragmatic approach to divisive policy . . . and his social-justice agenda reflect the views of American Catholic laity much more closely than those vocal bishops and pro-life activists."

She noted that while Obama and Pope Benedict XVI "disagree about reproductive freedoms and homosexuality," American Catholics "know Obama's on their side. In fact, Obama's agenda is closer to their views than even the Pope's."

Among the voices decrying Townsend's column is Judie Brown, president and co-founder of the American Life League, a pro-life organization.

Writing for CNSNews, she calls Townsend's views "misguided" and states: "'Reproductive freedoms,' for those unfamiliar with the culture of death's propaganda, is a code phrase for abortion on demand, sex instruction in schools, birth control for kids, and all manner of bizarre propositions that help the purveyors of smut to define the human person as an animal incapable of self-control . . .

"One can easily tell that her thought process has little to do with Catholic identity and, in fact, is contrary to all that is Catholic. There is no other explanation for her inane claim that President Obama is somehow more in tune with American Catholics than the Pope."

Townsend goes on to say that the Church hierarchy "ignores women's equality and gays' cry for justice because to heed them would require that it admit error and acknowledge that the self-satisfied edifice constructed around sex and gender has been grievously wrong."

She also cites the Pope's recent encyclical "Charity in Truth," claiming it gives "moral credence to Obama's message."

But Brown counters, "In fact, the encyclical's message is something else entirely . . .

"Without respect for the human person, it is impossible to bring about a just society, and in a just society, there is no room for heinous crimes such as abortion. This is the underlying theme of the entire encyclical, which Kennedy Townsend apparently overlooked entirely."
