The pastor of a Blue Springs Catholic Church and school recently pulled Barack Obama biographies from the school’s library.

Today he said he’ll put them back.

St. John LaLande Catholic Church offers preschool and a school for students in kindergarten to eighth grade. Two books about Obama had been added to the collection, which includes other books about American presidents.

The Rev. Ron Elliott said he’d gotten complaints about the Obama books from parishioners. He said he plans to return the books in February or March after the dust settles.

He said the slender books, written on an elementary level, covered Obama’s childhood up to his nomination for president. Elliot, who said he is strongly anti-abortion, noted it is his responsibility as pastor to respond when concerns are raised, given Obama’s stances on abortion.

“They don’t begin to touch on that, they don’t touch on anything controversial at all,” Elliott said. “They’re just about him growing up, with pictures of him smiling.”

5. Look on the bright side

Some kids will hear the books are banned and decide they HAVE to read them. They could turn out to be more popular than they would have been otherwise.

10. Let's invite Father Ron Elliott to speak at the Inauguration!

Let him follow Rick Warren in Obama's bullshit "inclusion", "agreeing to disagree", "coming to the table" crap on gays.
