Obama to Shun National Day of Prayer

But here's this from the Washington Times:

"President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning.

It's my humble opinion but I think a little prayer would do us all some good. Our nation is in trouble. I don't care what side of the political fence you're on, we're in trouble. And all those that would scream "separation of church and state" and bellow about bringing God into politics would do well to sit back and read Reagan's words. George W. Bush was excoriated for using his faith to make decisions, but I think a little more faith in the God that got us here, so to speak, would be a good thing. As my mother used to say, "Dance with the one who 'brung' you.

Obama shuns God, God shuns Obama, Obama’s presidency is cursed and reduced to ruins. And that is the end of the story.

Typical for this President. Other than worshipping to the liberal gods of big government and anything that is not for life, I don’t believe 0bama has any religion in his life.

There are two things that most Americans respect above all else, these are the Constitution of the United Stated and the Bible. It would appear that our present government is trying to get rid of both.

“I don’t believe 0bama has any religion in his life”.

...Oprah said she is a “secular progressive” on Larry King. I’m sure that’s what BO is. They’re two peas in a pod. Or at least he’s a muslim progressive.

Perhaps he fears being ridiculed for talking to himself in public.

In regards to Oprah; “It is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man (or woman) to be rewarded the Kingdom of Heaven.”

It would be too time consuming to pray. What with trying to figure out which way is east and 5 times a day!

I would count this as a good thing. We don’t need the National Day of Prayer soiled by Zer0’s presence. Let’s all pray for an immediate return to the Founder’s vision of America. That would necessarily exclude 0bowdown’s participation.

I thought he ordered that changed to Cinco de Quatro. Five of Four.

Truth bump. He’s godless and laughing his @$$ off thinking how he pulled off the biggest con job yet. No BC, no credentials needed to show who he really is. Add his other comments, “my muslim faith’, ‘57 states’.
