High flown
The Pope one day and the China supreme leader the next.
And a big step that the Obamas have been working on for a long time.
China to Announce Cap-and-Trade Program to Limit Emissions
Not to say that this is of a lot more import than the Papal platitudes the day before.
There is nothing wrong with platitudes, I suppose. If Congress was listening to the Pope tell them what they should already know then he did a good thing for us.
Republicans tend toward the religious strictness that the roman church asks of its people. The god thing in their terms. You would think that the Pope could give them a dose of initiative to do what they are supposed to.
He made John Boehner cry. Is this guy really all there?
I don't suppose I should judge anyone's sincerity. But sincerity only goes so far.
Both guys are totalitarians who soften their approach when they are in the USA. Hopefully some of our way of doing things rubs off on them but I doubt it.
