During his visit to…

During his visit to the United States the Pope met with President Clinton.
Instead of just an hour, as scheduled, the meeting went on for two days.
Finally, a weary President Clinton emerged to face the waiting news media. The
President was smiling and announced the summit was a resounding success. He said
he and the Pope agreed on 80% of the matters they discussed. Then Mr. Clinton
declared he was going home to the White House to be with his family.

A few minutes later, the Pope came out to make his statement. He looked tired,
discouraged and was practically in tears. Sadly he announced his meeting with
the President was a failure.

Incredulous, one reporter asked, “But your Holiness, President Clinton just
announced the summit was a great success and the two of you agreed on 80% of the
items discussed.”

Exasperated, the Pope answered, “Yes, but we were talking about the Ten
Commandments.”
