White House officials deny claims that President Obama might not mark the National Day of Prayer, though they're not ready to say what's planned or if he'll invite conservative evangelical critics.

Joshua DuBois, who heads the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, said it's too early to reveal the president's plans for the day, which is the first Thursday in May.

Gibbs also said the "president prays each day, whether it's National Prayer Day or not.

Are these guys intentionally trying to get people to speculate that Obama is a Muslim? I mean...that's an interesting statement to make.

Gibbs also said the "president prays 5 times each day, whether it's National Prayer Day or not."

Where did you get this statement since it's not in the article?

[PurpleMan]

It’s a dumb ceremony because it’s a nothing more ceremony of people doing it because it looks nice.

[mikelets456]

Got ya’...sorry for the confusion.

"Gibbs also said the "president prays 5 times each day, whether it's National Prayer Day or not."

Does he prostrate himself to the east when he prays?

Gibbs also said he is having the "FUNIST time".

Did anyone else hear him use that non word in one of his statements?

LOL!

Isn’t Mecca straight down from here?

[Joiseydude]

I added the 5 to that statement by Gibbs.

[PurpleMan]

No problemo.

[TonyInOhio]

For his flock, every day is National Prayer Day.

I’d use Photoshop to replace that monument with a backed-up public toilet.

[Logic n' Reason]

I think we can see a direction here....the "white" house is laying in a supply of prayer rugs and painting the word "EAST" on appropriate walls within.

6 times a day, is it?

barry, barry, barry....whatever will we do with you?

Gibbs also said the "president prays each day, whether it's National Prayer Day or not."

Thus providing evidence, once again, of Gibbs' unerring ability to miss the point.

[Waywardson]

He prays. He does not worship. Big difference.

[Vendome]

you’re bad

[stars & stripes forever]

It’s a dumb ceremony because it’s a nothing more ceremony of people doing it because it looks nice.

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and change their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive them and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

It is not a dumb ceremony. It is the only way that America will come out of the mess she is in.

Does the prayer rug point in the correct direction, towards Hell?

Mecca

[mojitojoe]

Where does it say he prays FIVE times a day? I don’t see that in your link. There is no five mentioned.
