What are your thoughts on Obama greeting the Pope at Andrews AFB? ***Updated***

I think this is a dangerous precedent. The president should not be doing things for religious leaders of any religion that he wouldn't do for heads of state. What happens now when the next, non-radical Shah of Iran wants to come (you just know that's coming)?

******Update******

I can see that I really stepped in it with this post, so I would like to take a moment to make some stuff clear:

1. I have not modified or changed this post for the simple reason that I missed the boat publicly, so I'm eating the crow without trying to hide the fact that I missed the boat. I think that walking it back after making a public mistake would be disingenuous, at best.

2. The boat I missed was that, as has been pointed out quite....eloquently...to me, is that past Presidents have also gone to the Pope. I did, in fact, do a search for other incidents and missed them. Poor search terms, whatever. No matter, I missed them.

Now, for the more (to me, with regards to my position on this issue) important points:

3. THIS WAS NEVER intended in any way to be an attack on the Pope, or Catholicism in ANY manner whatsoever. I would have had this same view about any religious leader -- incorrectly, yes, as we've seen.

4. People that like Obama or respect him or generally view him positively assume that this was directed at him. It was not. It would have been directed at ANY sitting President. And, in fact, upon being set straight about it happening in the past, I think the same thing about all of them. Even Reagan.

5. So, I apologize if I came across as attacking the Pope or Catholics. I would never do so intentionally. And while I personally don't hold Obama in high regard, as I said, this wasn't aimed at him specifically, and so I apologize if it seems it was.
