The Catholic News Service is reporting that in his swing through the nation, Barack Hussein Obama chose the home of a self-described Catholic family for a question and answer period.
Never was Obama questioned by any of the Catholics in attendance, to include a Catholic priest and a Catholic school teacher, in regards to Obama's stint as an Illinois state senator, why he three times failed to vote in favor of the Induced Infant Liability Act (he simply voted "present"), which would have granted "person" status to any child who might have survived the abortion procedure.
And never did any of these "Catholics" question Obama of his support for the slaughter of millions of unborn children every year in this country.
Catholic family's backyard is a stop for Obama on swing through Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (CNS) -- President Barack Obama chose the backyard of a Catholic Des Moines family Sept. 29 to talk about issues ranging from the economy and taxes to education, poverty and health care.
The president arrived at the home of Jeff and Sandy Hatfield Clubb and their two children in the tree-lined Beaverdale neighborhood about 10 a.m. and stayed for more than an hour. He spoke to a group of about 80 people, mostly friends of the Clubbs who sat in lawn chairs provided by neighbors.
The couple described themselves as a typical American family. Jeff, who had been a firefighter, is a social studies teacher at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Des Moines. Sandy is the athletic director of Drake University. Their two children attend Holy Trinity School.
Continuing the Holy Trinity theme, its pastor, Father Michael Amadeo, was the last of five people to ask a question during the forum.
The priest shared a story about a Holy Trinity family in which the 55-year-old father lost his manufacturing job more than a year ago. He asked what Obama's economic policies could do to help people like his parishioner in the next year.
After the gathering, [Marti] Anderson said the president seemed to be down to earth but admitted she was nervous while talking with him.
"I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I'm talking with the president of the United States,'" she told The Catholic Mirror, newspaper of the Des Moines Diocese.
