I just came across this story on the interwebs... apparently Joe Biden met with the new pope, and REFUSED to kiss his ring, which is proper etiquette. Biden says his mom told him not to, because no one is better than him, and that his bad manners are "all about dignity". I'm not a Catholic, and therefore wouldn't kiss the pope's ring, but Biden is. This is just more disrespect for religion from the Hussein/Biden administration, IMO.
Not that I care, as I'm not Catholic and kissing a ring isn't a big deal, but why wouldn't an individual who is a member of the Catholic religion (so he's supposed to acknowledge the Pope as the head of his religion) follow proper etiquette? Kind of ironic that Biden won't do something non-controversial in the name of dignity when the guy above him is running all over the globe embarrassing the United States by bowing to every foreign leader he encounters and apologizing on our behalf.
Prez Hussein may think the US has something to apologize for, but I do not. I'd rather Hussein stop bowing and have Biden kiss a Pope's ring than the other way around. Why didn't Biden have a talking to with Hussein and suggest he "demand respect"? I think both Hussein and Biden are an embarrassment to our country.
Also, I'm sure that Romney, even though he is a Mormon, would have been respectful of tradition and kissed the Pope's ring - BUT he wouldn't have bowed to foreign leaders or went around apologizing for America.

ReplyDeleteNow let me sea if I understands you're sniveling.
You all is upset because the Vice-President of USA did NOT 'follow proper etiquette' by kissing the ring of the Pope? But when the President of USA follows proper etiquette and international protocol, you all poop you're panties?! Right.
You all want cheese with you're whine?
"I'm sure that Romney, ..."
OMitt Rmoney is not President of USA and can kiss anyone he wants; even the Pope.

I'm not upset at all Ema. Just wondering why Biden won't bow (and kiss the Pope's ring) when Prez Hussein does it every time he encounters a foreign leader (bows). You don't find it the least bit embarrassing?
ReplyDeleteConsidering how addle-brained Biden is, he probably confused the pope with a Ghostbuster.
ReplyDelete"OMitt Rmoney..."
Yes. Omitt. If we had elected him, we would have omitted Obamacare, a lot of debt, the Sequester crisis, and a lot of waste spending. Instead of omitting, we have been having it piled onto us.
Barlowe: Ema is not embarassed at all at a President who only rarely remembers the public interest in what he does, consistently acts to give the powerful more wealth and power, and is selfish, greedy, and lazy (loving to waste millions on his own personal perks).

FOCUS. Reality is leaving you confused again. This post is not talking about your beloved fantasy president OMitt RMoney.

Romney is not a fantasy president, Ema. Unlike some clueless dreamers on the Left, I don't persist in thinking losing candidates Are winners. I know Romney lost. Whatever your point was, you didn't have much of one. And you failed to address the real problem of Obama's bad policies. Perhaps you are so obsessed with the candidate who lost but would have likely done a better job at omitting job loss, omitting debt spending, and omitting crony capitalism/corporate welfare. After all, Romney held fast to his position that it was a bad idea to give tens of billions of Federal dollars to auto corporations who took this money and shipped jobs to China.
DeleteThere's a part of me that likes Biden because he says what he thinks and doesn't filter it. But it (the utter haplessness) really is getting kind of stale to the point where maybe he needs to be kept under wraps for a while. At least until after the 2014 mid-terms.
ReplyDelete'..Romney, even though he is a Mormon, would have been respectful of tradition and kissed the Pope's ring -- BUT he wouldn't have bowed to foreign leaders.. same difference, kissing rings, bowing:
ReplyDeletewe don't have to worry about what Romney would have done....
I wasn't "worring" re what Romney would have done as president; that is what I'm doing with Obama as prez.
ReplyDeleteBarlow: frankly, they all do it. Obama is no different/worse. Remember that photo of George W. Bush snogging that Saudi prince.
