Huh? L'Osservatore Romano takes Obama's side

L'OR isn't backing down from its positive take on Obama:

"The search for a common ground: This seems to be the path chosen by the president of the United States, Barack Obama, in facing the delicate question of abortion," the newspaper said.

The newspaper, which was reporting on the Notre Dame commencement for the first time, acknowledged the controversy caused by the president's appearance at what it called "the most prestigious Catholic university in the United States."

"Yesterday, too, as could have been predicted, there were protests. But from the podium set up in the basketball arena, the president invited Americans of every faith and ideological conviction to 'work in common effort' to reduce the number of abortions," it said.

All we have right now is this second-hand report via John Thavis of Catholic News Service.

... it reads like the talking points of Obama's administration. Who is writing this stuff?!
