Is President Obama Anti-Catholic?

Ex-President Jimmy Carter has suggested that the opposition to the president is due in large part to racism because he's an African-American. Most people I talk to, and the commentary I have seen on the Internet and the news, suggest that notion is ridiculous. In my observations of the current president I have repeatedly asked myself why he has chosen so many pro- abortion -Catholics in name only, for prominent positions in his administration.

• Obama selected pro-abortion Catholic Joe Biden as his running mate during the presidential campaign.
• Kathleen Sebelius, an outspoken pro-abortion Catholic was named as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
• Alexia Kelley was appointed to the post of Health and Human Services Department’s Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. Kelley is the co-founder of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a group which has justified the voting against Church teachings and drawn criticism from bishops. Kelley also supported the nomination of Kathleen Sebelius to her post as HHS Secretary.
• Kenneth Salazar, another Catholic but pro-abortion senator was nominated as the Secretary of the Interior.
• For Secretary of Agriculture, Obama picked Tom Vilsack, another pro-abortion Catholic.
• Regina Benjamin was nominated as Surgeon General, again a Catholic who strongly advocated abortion rights, and has received much praise from pro-abortion groups such as Catholics for a Free Choice.
• When it came time to nominate a Supreme Court justice, Obama tapped Sonia Sotomayor, yet another Catholic with a history of supporting Roe v. Wade.
• Miguel Diaz, a Catholic professor who defended the nomination of pro-abortion Catholic politicians, was named as Ambassador to the Vatican by Obama.
• Douglas Kmiec, a Catholic professor who tried to justify the position that Catholics could vote for Obama in spite of Church teachings, was named the U.S. Ambassador to Malta.

Lest we not forget the recent death of Senator Kennedy, another staunch pro-abortionist, was in part used to promote the administrations attempt to rally support for his massive health care initiative. In that health care proposal is the requirement that abortions be government funded and that the "conscience clause" for Christians, Jews and Muslims and others in providing care that is morally contrary to their beliefs, be omitted.

The president is very adept at the appearance that he is reaching out to Catholics, when he does things like visiting the Pope or calling Archbishop Timothy Dolan but as we all witness there is no consideration to shift or move from his ideologies. The latest debacle in which the president canceled a long-planned missile shield for Eastern Europe and will no longer erect a missile base and radar site in Poland has chilling consequences. He has thrown Poland (perhaps the most Catholic nation on earth) to the Russians. Can anybody image what the Great John Paul II is thinking now? He lived under the tyranny of the Nazi's and then the Communists and to see his homeland abandoned by the United States is unthinkable. What is incredibly ironic is that our president is from Chicago home to the largest Polish population in the United States. So much for the promise of Obama.
If Jimmy Carter can accuse the majority of Americans who oppose radical change and multibillion dollar spending when the economy is struggling, as being racist, is it fair to ask the question is Obama anti-Catholic?
