Barack Obama: Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people........

And I do believe that Barack Obama was one of those rare leaders also.

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another.

Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

1. The Obamas were always straight up CLASS.

Also did I see something like POTUS and his porn star wife plan to defile this great man's service by their presence? Tell u what, Francis didn't like Trump, and would've loved it if the cardinals showed him zero pomp or circumstance if he actually has the nerve to show his face around there. What, after he talked smack about Francis all the time, cut like $4B/year from Catholic Relief Services (that the church pulled in from USAID), and hated on immigrants constantly? RRaped women and cheated on all 3 wives?

Seat their asses by the bathroom door!
