President Barack Obama said religious freedom is under threat, and highlighted the plight of two American Christians held in North Korea and Iran.
In his address to the National Prayer Breakfast, an annual gathering of lawmakers and numerous faith leaders, Mr. Obama said it’s clear that “around the world freedom of religion is under threat.” He said the U.S. works with countries that don’t live up to America’s standard of religious tolerance and pointed to China as an example. He said America’s relationship with the Chinese is important to the world but said that he stresses in meetings with Chinese leaders the need to uphold universal rights for Christians, Tibetan Buddhists and others.

A vacant skull, a vacuous soul, an empty suit.
I’m sure that the threat is two Christians exposing good, freedom-loving communists to their homophobic God. </sarc>
Absolutely unreal. However, it seems like this has been his M.O. since the beginning: As Rush L. says, Obama is out campaigning against the very policies that he and his own administration are busily enacting.
Which only proves this guy just reads what’s on the teleprompter. He has no relationship whatsoever with those words.
Did he bring his prayer rug to the Breakfast?
His actions speak the truth while his moving lips continue to lie, but in the end he is always blameless.
I listened to his statements and did not believe one word!
LOLOLOLOL! So is he a reporter now? Ole Captain Obvious espousing what HE is allowing to happen.
He's either totally stupid or he knows damn well he's a filthy liar.
Freedom to be born alive is what's under threat, and if he were a Christian of faith, he'd do what he could to stop abortions.
Where does Obama think that any of us have been living for the past few years anyways? I personally don’t buy what he has to say right now.
He’s proud of it, too.
Practice what you preach Mr. Obama!
Perhaps we need to ask odumbo, “Who is pushing that Mr. O’Dumbo?”
I for one applaud President Obama for finally speaking out about the persecution of Christians by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic organizations.
That is what he was referring to, isn’t it?
Yeah, that's why your administration began with this...
Clinton Criticized for Not Making Human Rights a Top Priority February 25, 2009Several U.S. Congressmen expressed "dismay" this week over Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement that human rights would not be a top priority for the United States in its dealings with China.
Hillary Clinton Fails to Promote Human Rights to China“In a shocking display of pandering, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it clear in Beijing, that the Obama Administration has chosen to peddle U.S. debt to the largest dictatorship in the world over combating torture, forced abortion, forced labor, religious persecution, human sex trafficking, gendercide, and genocide,” Smith said.
“Secretary Clinton said concern for the protection of human rights of the Chinese people can’t ‘interfere’ with the economic crisis, climate change, and security – as if human rights were somehow disconnected and irrelevant to those issues,” the New Jersey congressmen said.
