I wondered what Obama would have to say about Pope Benedict’s resignation. I should have guessed:

On behalf of Americans everywhere, Michelle and I wish to extend our appreciation and prayers to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Michelle and I warmly remember our meeting with the Holy Father in 2009, and I have appreciated our work together over these last four years.

With Obama, in the end, it’s always about Obama.
