Obama has embarrassed this country again. During his meet and greet with Pope Francis, have the Pope a box filled with fruit and vegetable seeds used in the White House garden. To show just how narcissistic Obama is, the inscription on the box of seed read, “Presented to His Holiness Pope Francis by Barack Obama President of the United States of America, March 27, 2014.” This is almost as bad was when Obama gave the PM of Britain those NTSC DVDs that wouldn’t play on British television format since they use PAL.

Obama called himself a “great admirer” of Pope Francis as he sat down with the pontiff — a man he considers a kindred spirit on issues of economic inequality.
Despite areas of agreement, though, it’s no secret that the Obama administration’s policies and views on abortion and contraception differ greatly from Catholic teaching, thus creating a very public rift between the two parties.
Obama arrived at the Vatican amid the pomp and tradition of the Catholic Church, making his way to greet the pope after a long, slow procession through the hallways of the Apostolic Palace led by colorful Swiss Guards and accompanied by ceremonial attendants.
The president bowed as he shook hands with the pontiff in the Small Throne Room, before the two sat down at a wooden table in the Papal Library. The meeting lasted for a total of 52 minutes — longer than was expected.
