In reference to the Pope’s Apostolic Exhortation “Evangeliii Gaudium”, President Obama said he would probably read it in the Oval Office when he gets really frustrated. He added he was sure it would give him strength and calm . “I hope so,” Francis replied.

For those unfamiliar with the document, you can read it at the following link.

Glad the Pope didn’t give him a bible because the cleaning crew would have found it burnt and smoldering in the bottom of 0’s trashcan.

Just an Obama photo op for the history books. What a phony.

“It is a great honour. I'm a great admirer

The first words out of his mouth..... LIES.

This was nothing more to Obama than a photo op to appease Catholic voters.

He gave the Pope some seeds from the Wookie's garden! As a Gift.

How tacky is that?

The Pope should have given him a life size replica of a fetus and told him to repent or perish.

Before taking his leave, Obama gave Francis a long and firm handshake and the two continued speaking for a while longer with the help of an interpreter.

Barry only speaks one language despite his upbringing but surely the pope speaks English?

Maybe he needed someone to interpt barrys B.S.

“President Obama gave Francis a packet of vegetable seeds from the White House garden”

What’s with the garden seeds?

Should be more like, “Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name”

Unlike Islamic potentates, Obama did not bow to the Pope.

Did Obama bow to the Pope? He should have, but probably did not. This is the one person that he should have bowed to, and not all the dictators that he did bow to.

So, he saw the Pope in the small Throne room?
I hope Obama is ready for the White Throne Judgment.

"If you have a chance to come to the White House, we can show you our garden,” the President said. “Of course!” the Pope replied.

"Just head out the back door, past the piles of stinking garbage. Go towards the 'Danger-High Lead Levels' warning sign. You can't miss it."

President Obama gave Francis a packet of vegetable seeds from the White House garden to be planted in the Pontifical Villa gardens in Castel Gandolfo which were recently opened to the public.

I hope the Pope tossed 'em. How much you wanna bet those seeds didn't face any Dept. of Agriculture scrutiny in either Country. They're probably infested with some kind of parasite that will infest the garden, endlessly travel, be impervious to any attempt to rid it from its stronghold and quickly drain the Vatican of its cash.

Francis will probably attend the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia in September 2015. He has expressed an interest in doing so. If he does, he might also speak at the UN. Will he take Obama up on his invitation to visit the White House? Who knows? It was such a warm atmosphere when Pope Benedict visited the White House on his 81st birthday in 2008. President Bush had a birthday cake prepared for the Pope and “Happy Birthday” was sung.

Am sure the Pope urged Obama to reconsider his anti Christian views on abortion, gay marriage and the removal of God`s Word from the public square etc.

Am sure the Pope shared Scripture with Obama on all this

NO I AM BEINC SARC cause the Pope doesnt give a hoot

OBAMA COMMENTS ON AUDIENCE WITH POPE.....

When Francis dances with me
And I get a free rosary
I feel nearer his God
But I'm still on jihad
So it's back to the prayer rug for me

.
Only bluebonnet seeds would have been appropriate.

They would have looked beautiful around the banks of that lake near Castel Gandolfo.
