Here is proof of shocking breeches of White House protocol and also US Military protocol.
First, the bushes do not meet this "foreign head of state" at the front door of the White House as required in White House protocol. Instead, the President submissively goes to the airport to receive the Pope on the tarmac. The only thing that is missing here is the traditional "kissing of the earth" when the Pope disembarks. This was omitted because WE warned so many of its implications before his arrival and told people to watch for it. The official excuse was given that Benedict did not kiss the ground because Pope John Paul II already did it during his US visit. In case you don't already know, the first official act of the Pope when he arrives is to kiss the ground as an overt demonstration that he OWNS IT!
Second, the Bush's wear BLACK in compliance with Vatican protocol. Black is required as a sign of submission, penance, worship, and subservience. One does get to meet the Pope in any other color except for rare exceptions.
Next, the Bushes never set foot on the red carpet until the Pope does.
Next, in shocking breech of US Military protocol, a US Marine presents the Papal flag.
