At sometime in the future a political scientist – maybe one not yet even born- will point to Barack Obama’s declaration of war against the Catholic Church as the worst move of many bad moves he has made in his inordinately poor campaign for reelection.
Perhaps no other stupid Team Obama move better highlights the gulf between actual Americans and the phony Obama.
It reminds us that Obama may (or may not) have been born in America and has spent his parasitical life here, but he is not OF America. He doesn’t understand America and the over rated schmucks that are advising him don’t either.
They apparently have never bothered to read some basic electoral history. If they had; they would know that no Democrat has ever won the presidency while losing the Catholic vote.
Just as he has done with so many other groups Obama has not only given Catholics no reason to vote for him, but plenty of motivation NOT to vote for him or anyone who supports him.
In the 2008 election Catholics voted for Obama 54/46. That margin was, as much as any other, the reason for his election. There is less and less chance that Catholics will be lining up to support Obama this year as a Pew poll has revealed.
What Pew found was that until Obama’s war against the Catholic Church he was leading with Catholics by 9 points. Today that lead is gone and he is behind by 5 points.
This 14 point swing away from Obama translates to 18 million lost votes and major trouble in these states with sizable Catholic populations: Pennsylvania (53%) New Jersey (39%) Wisconsin (29%) Florida (26%) Ohio (24%) and Michigan (24%).

A Catholic voting for Obama deserves excommunication.
A military member voting for Obama deserves a military trial.
If SCOTUS scuttles Obamacare next month, the Church is just going to turn and walk away from this and try to pretend it never happened.
They never wanted to enter a political battle with Obama. Their hands were forced. They will retreat from it at the earliest opportunity.
Problem is though that they’ve shown their hand, and the hard Left in this country is never going to forget about it.
Catholics can be broken into three groups:
1. Regular mass attending.
2. Christmas, Easter, and sacramental mass attending.
3. Catholics in name only.
These translate into Republican, Independent and Democratic.
Group 2. decides things and it is no surprise that they are shifting away; putting Pennsylvania and New Jersey in play.
That’s not the way a free society works. Who are you the KGB? That is a tactic Obama’s administration is currently using to super pac donors of Romney’s. I’d shut my mouth if I were you before you look even more foolish.
