The pope presented the president with a bound copy of his Evangelii Gaudium, which outlines the goals of his pontificate, many of which are in stark contrast to American policies. The president said he would read it in the White House library when he was frustrated to “calm me down.”

TESTIMONIALS
“I have been in Corporate America for over 20 years and never have I come across a program that inspires and equips people to be and do their best in all aspects of their life. This program is a must for teams and individuals to achieve big goals.”
– Brandon Dangerfield, VP of Sales Operations, Fortune 500 Compan
_____________
“What would happen if companies allowed their people to dream, perform far above what they thought possible, and achieve economic security? Your program, Thinking into Results, has the potential to redefine the economic landscape for the world, provided people have an open mind.
Thinking into Results has greatly expanded my possibility space and I know my consulting practice will grow quickly because I see it growing in my mind. I have introduced this program to one of my premiere clients and though the “experiment” has just started, they will be a different company. The executive team has already changed and is thinking much bigger thoughts with much higher aspirations.
And to think this all started with my short unintended and unexpected meeting with Bob Proctor. I have never felt more alive and I suspect my client feels the same way.”
- Gary McQuarrie, Grayrock & Associates, LLC

When I first met Bob Proctor I was in a state of loss. Tragedy had struck my family , my business was failing and I was not a happy guy. I knew I had to do something or I would lose everything I had remaining. Bob Proctor taught me more in a few months than I had learned my entire life. He taught me how to use my mind to control and steer the direction of my life. Bob teaches in a very simple, specific and clear manner. I can honestly say I am a completely different person now than before I studied Bob's material. He is the best in the world at what he teaches and I would recommend his teaching to anyone. I have had the honor of spending some time with Bob during some of his events and I can tell you he lives what he teaches. It has been a very satisfying journey being able to learn from him. I will be using Bob's teachings for the rest of my life. I am extremely excited to live my life each day as it keeps getting better. If you are at all interested in making your dreams come true and living the life of your dreams study with Bob and take it all in. You will not regret it. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself and your loved ones.

Continue Obama-Pope Francis.....
The two met for 50 minutes behind closed doors, after which two versions of events emerged. The president’s press staff highlighted areas where the two mens' minds met, reporting that they talked about their shared commitment to the issues of poverty and social justice. The Vatican, however, took the moral high ground, and reported that the discussion focused on areas of divergence, and issues concerning the Catholic Church in “that country, such as the exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection, as well as the issue of immigration reform.”
The men spoke in English and Spanish, with the president’s female translator wearing a black lace mantilla, adhering to Vatican protocol that mandates all women must wear a hat or veil to meet the pontiff; non-Catholics are required to wear black. The pope reportedly expressed a desire to abolish the traditional practice, but apparently not in time for the American delegation visit.
Neither man made a statement after the meeting. But Obama had given an extensive interview to one of Italy’s leading newspapers, Corriere della Sera, that ran on Thursday, in which he called Francis “an inspiration to people around the world, including me.” He complimented the pope for his “commitment to social justice and his message of love and compassion, especially for the poor and the vulnerable among us.” Obama told the Italian newspaper, “He doesn’t just proclaim the Gospel, he lives it.”
After leaving the Vatican, Obama’s 26-plus car motorcade wound through Rome to the Quirinale Palace for a working lunch and more photos with the president of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano, whom Obama has met four times before. He called Napolitano, Italy's 11th president and the longest-serving in its history, “a rock of stability” and “a friend.”
Obama’s motorcade blocked traffic, but the route was lined with flag-waving Italians who cheered him as he passed, waving from the inside of his massively reinforced SUV. Near the American Embassy, a baker from Salento passed out 5,000 free chocolate “Obama biscuits” from a van with the president’s face painted on the side. “I love Obama. These cookies are in his honor.” The baker, Angelo Bisconti, had put aside a tray for the president, but it wasn’t clear if he was able to deliver it.
Obama and his massive entourage then crossed town again to visit Italy’s new prime minister, Matteo Renzi ― the fifth prime minister Obama has met, due to Italy’s ephemeral governments ― for a quick, bilateral, and surprisingly long press conference. The two had met in the Netherlands earlier in the week, so they spent their time fielding questions from the Italian and American presses. Obama focused on issues of national and global defense. Renzi focused on Italy’s perceived economic weakness, telling the president Italy may not be an economic superpower, but “we are a cultural superpower.”
At one point during the joint press conference, Obama incorrectly referred to Italy’s currency as the lira, out of circulation since 2002 and replaced by the euro. “When it comes to defense spending, all of us have to make sure that our defense forces are efficient, effective -– that for every dollar or lira that we’re spending, that we’re getting the most defense for our money,” the president said when asked about defense spending cuts.
The president then took off his tie and crossed town once more for a private tour of the Roman Coliseum, escorted by an archeologist who walked him around the ancient amphitheater. The monument, one of the city's most popular, was closed to the public most of the afternoon, much to the ire of tourists. The president didn’t seem to notice.
He will fly to Saudi Arabia on Friday morning.
