Ouch. libdem4life Apr 2016 #1

I read it more as he met Bernie like he meets many dignitaries and this should not be viewed as an Zynx Apr 2016 #2

I also know the Vatican will not publicly express a preference for a candidate DrDan Apr 2016 #63

So did someone say they expressed an actual preference TM99 Apr 2016 #64

Yeap, the pope purposefully calls it a "greeting" and not a meeting. Sanders sounds desperate uponit7771 Apr 2016 #39

Wow, that's a spin .... Onlooker Apr 2016 #32

Another spin could be that the Pope is concerned about you. Autumn Apr 2016 #34

"greeted" him... there was no "meeting" at all... Sanders is at the least overstating the encounter uponit7771 Apr 2016 #41

I always greet people when I meet with them. nt Autumn Apr 2016 #49

Well I know what the Pope said. Someone even posted the video. Onlooker Apr 2016 #48

Post the video, the one where the Pope said what you are saying Autumn Apr 2016 #50

Hey skippy, your subject line is false, He never said that. Reread your own highlighted text. George II Apr 2016 #33

Exact subject lines are not required in GDP as you well know, that is only required in LBN. nt Autumn Apr 2016 #35

I wasn't referring to the the article's subject line vs. skippy's.... George II Apr 2016 #36

"skippy's...." subject line can be whatever he want's it to be in GDP. Only in LBN is it required Autumn Apr 2016 #37

Again, I never said anything about that - where did you get that idea? George II Apr 2016 #40

It's not his subject line. He posted the articles, it doesn't have to match what is said. Autumn Apr 2016 #45

Take it up with Reuters. It's their headline the poster doesn't have to adhere to it or change it. Autumn Apr 2016 #47
