The Washington Post recently published an article asking, in light of Pope Francis fast-tracking Pope John Paul's sainthood, how "miraculous" should modern saints be?

Perhaps the Republicans expected the President of the United States to give the Cuban President a menacing look, call him a commie pinko, and refuse to join the funeral proceedings until the "baddie" agreed to leave.
