On July 10, Barack Obama will be meeting with his Holiness in the Vatican after the G-8 Summit. That week the Pope is also meeting with Japanese PM Taro Aso and Australian PM Kevin Rudd. It appears to be a busy week for the Supreme Pontiff, as July 7 he will finally release his latest encyclical, "Caritas in Veritate". None of the articles mention it, but Obama will probably meet the Pope in the Pope's library, which is the usual place for foreign heads of state to meet the Pope, though last summer President Bush was granted the special privilege of meeting the Pope in his private garden (as a reward for his hospitality to the Pope during his visit to the U.S. last April).

One of the poll options confuses me. I must not be caught up with current events. What should the president apologize for?

Obama will probably teach him how to walk on water.

I expect a photo op showing how well they get along and respect one another followed by some politely worded press releases from the Vatican talking about how the Democrats are the party of death and sin due to their support of abortion rights and gay marriage. :)

I think they will curtsie, perform a duet of "Singin' in the Rain" and conclude with more bowing and mouthing the words, "peas and carrots" repeatedly to make it look like they are really saying something of value. But you didn't have that as an option in your poll, so I couldn't vote.

Obama likes to spend money, and the Catholic church likes to collect it. I think they'll get along great.

Obama will have the Secret Service take the Pope hostage. The Pope will have the Swiss Guard take Obama hostage. Obama and the Pope will then meet to negotiate an exchange of hostages, and will agree that Obama will be released on condition that the Pope is released.

Trust the gay forum member to trot out a reference to a musical that features choreographed dancing and singing "gangs" in tights. :P (Sorry, couldn't resist the opening.)

I can't believe you gave me a followup setup like that, but I'll let it pass to avoid moderation. Ironically, I've never seen West Side Story and only know the reference second hand via The West Wing :P

Hah! Didn't realize that "followup setup" until you pointed it out. I've never seen West Side Story either. I just know the reference from a variety of shows/things I've read. (West Wing, Frasier, etc.)

Obama will reveal that he is an Illuminatus, and will attempt to assassinate the Pope, only to be stopped by some American teacher at the last minute.

A very crappy movie will be made about it afterwards by Ron Howard.

Obama will kiss the Pope's ring, but the Pope won't kiss Obama's butt. Then the Pope will ask Obama if his "Hope" theme during the campaign was a rip off of Benedict's "Christ our Hope" theme during his visit to the U.S. and will ask of Obama's theme was derived from Spe Salvi.
