Ugh! The falling-fast-in-popularity-polls Barack Hussein Obama is diving for cover under the cassock of Pope Francis, and it’s going to require a take-no-prisoners Catholic League president like Bill Donohue to drag him back out.
Obama’s M.O. for hiding under Francis skirts? ‘The Artful Dodger of the White House’ counts on people thinking that If the pope can be a Marxist, then the Marxist Fundamental Transformation of America can’t be all bad.
The big difference here is that no one, not the mainstream media or the talking heads, jumped on the man they call Obama when he ran for the presidency back in 2008, but the whole world, including Fox News, was ready to jump on ‘Pope Francis, the Marxist’.
If the far left can get away with branding Jesus as a Marxist, why not Francis?
As someone rooting for the pope from this humble corner, I’ve been waiting for someone of note from the Catholic world to step up to take Francis’ side.
I found him this morning in Father John Zuhlsdorf, the ‘Fr. Z’ of one of the internet’s most popular Catholic blogs.
Quoting Adam Shaw of Fox News column, Pope Francis is the Catholic Church’s Obama, Fr. Z wrote: “God help us.”
Adams wrote that “Pope Francis is undergoing a popularity surge comparable to the way Barack Obama was greeted by the world in 2008.”
The Democrats introduced Senator Barack Obama from a stage made to look like The One was being brought forward from Greek columns. Jorge Mario Bergoglio came out a balcony in St. Peter’s Square, wearing his own shoes as just little, old me.
The Catholic Church has many Obamas out there running around, including the prominent one who brought the real Obama to Notre Dame. A good thing, too, because we can now find it difficult to believe someone who could not bear to gaze at religious symbols including the powerful crucifix would hardly be “in love” with a pontiff who wears a Crucifix as part of his everyday dress.
But difficult indeed stopping media opportunists from jumping on the sensationalism bus when they get a break from having to focus on an American president who’s the world’s most infamous Marxist in office.
Yours Truly finds Obama’s newly professed hero worship of Pope Francis as a cunning Marxist ploy. But Fr. Z states it better by calling Obama’s use of the pope’s words as “utterly slimy”.
