"I don't know, it struck me because here's the pope on this giant Airbus A330 flying from Italy to Cuba, the United States, circling over North Carolina for a couple loops and then driving around in this little thing with the windows down to boot. It just looked different, and I know the pope's trying to make a visual impression here, not being ostentatious." image above from RushLimbaugh.com

"Pope Francis arrived at the White House on Wednesday in a small black Fiat that costs around $20,000.
"In your humility, your embrace of simplicity, in the gentleness of your words and the generosity of your spirit," Obama told the pope, "we see a living example of Jesus' teachings, a leader whose moral authority comes not just through words but also through deeds.""

Pope seen as "potent political ally" for Obama, per AP. Obama doesn't need allies-he can do whatever he wants. The giddiness about the pope's trip is its undercurrent of slapping defenseless Americans around. Everyone knows none of the millionaires and billionaires in the US political class will defend innocent middle class Americans. You can say whatever lie you want. People are thrilled about this.
