During the 40-minute meeting behind closed doors, President Obama told the pope that the G8 summit talks held in LAquila, Italy, were very productive. They also touched on issues like drug trafficking, the peace process in the Middle East, and development aid for Africa and Latin America.
Benedict XVI received President Barack Obama in the Vaticans Apostolic Palace.
After a brief meeting with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Obama was escorted by Swiss Guards to the popes library.
President Obama
"Its a great honor. Thank you so much.
In the traditional exchange of gifts, Benedict presented Obama and his wife Michelle with a mosaic of St. Peters Square, and signed copies of his new encyclical Charity in Truth, which Obama said hed read on the plane, and the Vatican instruction Dignitas Personae, dedicated to bioethics.
In return, Obama gave the pope a stole thats a relic of Saint John Neumann, the first American citizen who became saint.
Upon saying their goodbyes, Obama told the pope he hoped relations between the Vatican and the United States continue to strengthen.
Did you know that in making the sign of the cross you are actually making an upside cross. The upside cross is used to deride Christ and his people. "Come out from among them and be ye seperate saith the Lord"

Muito bom ver o Presidente de uma das principais nações do planeta buscar interação com as religião Catolica.
Independente da Religião é necessário que o homem tem mais fé e amor no coração. O capitalismo parece estar assoreando as caracteristicas formadoras do carater de nós seres humanos.
love is all we need...
Congratulations Mr Obama

We need to determine who gives orders to these two men. I don't dislike them...or dislike the individual who gives them orders...but we need to have complete transparency in this matter. Could Lucifer/Eve/Hathor/Isis/Mary really be in charge of this solar system? Don't laugh at me! I don't really know...but I've been wondering a lot lately. Could this individual be a lot like Anna in 'V'?

Roman Catholic Author, Malachi Martin says in his book The Keys of this Blood: "He is as
determined to be world ruler as was Constantine in his day (p.49), and "The other two major contenders in the millennium endgame will be ELIMINATED " (* emphasis added). p. 657. The fearful thing is that one (the Soviets) of these contenders is already eliminated. The greatest tool used to eliminate the Soviets? Financial ruin. Could the United States be next? Do a search on inflation in the Soviet Union.
