“Dear Chicago Jesus, please use your divine intervention and save Obamacare from racist Supreme Court justice. Amen.”

WASHINGTON — The White House has begun an aggressive campaign to use approaching Supreme Court arguments on the newhealth care law as a moment to build support for the measure seen asPresident Obama’s signature legislative achievement, hoping to shape public opinion on an issue at the center of the battle for the White House and Congress.

On Wednesday, White House officials summoned dozens of leaders of nonprofit organizations that strongly back the health law to help them coordinate plans for a prayer vigil, press conferences and other events outside the court when justices hear arguments for three days beginning March 26.

At the White House meeting on Wednesday, a wide range of advocates representing consumers and people with diseases and disabilities — as well as doctors and nurses, labor unions and religious organizations — discussed plans to bolster the landmark law, which is being challenged by 26 states as unconstitutional.

Supporters of the law plan to hold events outside the court on each day of oral argument. The events include speeches by people with medical problems who have benefited or could benefit from the law. In addition, supporters will arrange for radio hosts to interview health care advocates at a “radio row,” at the United Methodist Building on Capitol Hill.

People who attended the meeting on Wednesday said the speakers included Jennifer Palmieri, deputy communications director at the White House; Jon Carson, director of the president’s Office of Public Engagement; Jeanne M. Lambrew, deputy assistant to the president for health policy; and Mark B. Childress, a deputy chief of staff at the White House.

Typical Axelrod maneuver.

Why would anyone pray for that piece of garbage legislation?

[popdonnelly]

When they’re not cursing evangelicals and other conservative Christians, they pray for Obamacare? Isn’t that special?

How many babies do you think they plan on sacrificing to Moloch?

This is exactly how I think of the pro-abortionists...as sacrificing to Moloch.

As for them praying,did the Obamas supply the prayer rugs?

Hands and faces tell a lot about a person. These are the kinds of things I notice IMMEDIATELY without even making an effort. Looking at that photo of obama I notice something...

People age at different rates and in different ways over the years depending on their lifestyle. A filthy mind and lifestyle and bad habits show up as an aging face. A hard worker has aging hands. Mental stress causes changes in the hair. A lazy or weak willed person will have small plump hands. A more dominant personality will usually have robust ears.

Obama has the aging face of a filthy mind/lifestyle, and the pristine hands of one who shuns work. He has the hair line and color of one who refuses to take on stress. He has a dominant personality and a strong will.

When you see a person who’s face appears to be many years(or a decade) older than the rest of his body, In my opinion he is not living a proper life. I have a face that ages very slowly, hands that age rapidly, and hair that is disappearing fast and it is my opinion(admittedly biased) that decent people usually do in this same way.

I would advise any God fearing individuals not to stand too close to the pagans ... might be a stray bolt of lightning!

It’s too bad that Freepers and the Tea Party couldn’t show up in numbers, with signs that referenced the Constitution, as a show of what REALLY matters in this.....

And carrying crosses....lots of crosses.

They’d scatter like vampires.

[unkus]

Sick, evil creatures.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Does this mean the UNCONSTITUTIONAL government requirement that Americans buy a specified product, is on life support?

FUBO.

And the four legged animal you rode in on.

[Windflier]

ya beat me to it - ;o)

Heh....it was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the top of the article. Couldn't resist.

[petitfour]

And believers across the country can join together in prayer opposing government as God. Maybe some near DC can walk around the SC seven times and blow a trumpet when done.

[vpintheak]

The devil masquerading as an angel of light again.

[chris_bdba]

We need a huge tea party event in DC that day to pray that it goes away.

well actually Barry Dunham-Soetoro could call on the gods of Mormonism...

His Mom Stanley Ann Dunham was dead dunked June 2008 and then endowed and sealed to her children making them Mormons also...

as a Mormon priesthood holder and reigning LDS I guess Barry could perform a blessing and call up the Danites or somethging...

Heres an aside...

Whos the highest ranking president when theres a Mormon in the White House...

The president of the United States...

or the president and king of the world for life in the temple square penthouse ???

To the unbelieving left prayer is equal to magic...

They think theres a certain ritual that will bring them what they want...

The last large organized “prayer” that I know of was in the late 1970s when they were trying to get the ERA passed....Equal Rights Amendment...

There were 3 states needed to radify the Amendment and South Carolina full of praying Christians was one of them...

So some bright spark had a great idea that they thought would magically work...

“Lets get 1000s of people down to the river near Columbia, SC and have several days of prayer vigil. We’ll fast for days and then one night we’ll flow 1000s of candles down the river. That should do it.”

Do you know there were actually Christians who were concerned about the outcome of atheists and other non-believers fasting and praying and lighting a few candles ???

Well they had their big religious moment and went hungry and screamed and yelled and did everything but cut themselves and ah nothing happened...

The gods of whatever were asleep or not home etc...

Someone should show up in an aborted baby costume.
