Barack Obama

thanks for understanding that this means a lot to Catholics, symbolically and politically. These are two world leaders who share the aspirations and frustrations of ordinary people who do not want war. Whatever the shortcomings of the institutions they lead they have a vision of world peace and actively pursue it. And PBO isn't Catholic either even though he went to a Catholic elementary for two years. Somewhere there's a snap of Barack in a tie standing with his mom and a nun in front of St. Francis school on the day of his first communion. Haven't been able to find it for years but it's a classic.
