Pope Francis For President!

If only the US could steal the pope away from the church he would have this country whipped into shape in no time,complete with a balanced budget. He certainly is trimming the fat for the Catholics. In October of last year he suspended a German Bishop known as the "Bishop of Bling" in the media. Last year when the Bishop traveled to India to minister to the poor slum dwellers he flew first class (at least he didn't have his own Air Force One!). He also spent $42 million on renovations to his church owned residence,billed to the Vatican and German taxpayers. Included in those costs were $620,000 worth of artwork,$1.1 million in landscaping and a $20,000 bathtub. Keep up the good work Pope Francis...and when you're done cleaning up the church please consider straightening out the US!
