Jeb Bush
?@JebBush
Why would our President close our Embassy to the Vatican? Hopefully, it is not retribution for Catholic organizations opposing Obamacare.

This embassy is now combined with the embassy in Rome and a UN embassy post. Thought i'd throw that in there.

But in reality, the embassys move in 2015 will fulfill a plan developed during George W. Bushs presidency, when a new building was acquired adjacent to the compound in Rome where the U.S. Embassy to Italy is located. A State Department official said in a statement that the move will save the U.S. $1.4 million a year in operational costs.
