It was almost funny to hear Obama criticizing people for questioning his faith - I still don’t think he’s been to church since the election, has he?

I’ve heard of evil spirits manifesting during Christian prayers. Certain spirits would have been uneasy and anxious to leave.

Indeed.

One Big Ass Mistake, America.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who also attended the event, spoke of her own preference of adoption over abortion and told the story of opening a home for the children of unwanted pregnancies after a visit from Mother Teresa

Has she ever talked this way at some pro-choice or feminist function?

Good Point. His prayer sent the demon[s] out the door.

Where is this home? I would like to make a donation of money.

OK - That explains it.
Thanks for the link.

I guess I’ll have to revise my opinion of FOX a little. :)

I just checked with a friend in DC who has been involved with the Prayer Breakfast pretty much from the beginning. If this was the closing prayer, then the President leaving is a security measure and has likely been done by every President who has attended. That means it was a Secret Service decision.

Honestly folks. There are more than enough reasons to disagree with the President. We don’t need to make them up.

Especially Christians

Off the subject and I will admit this is really being nit picky but have you noticed that since the Obama’s have gotten their dog, other than when he first arrived, Obama has not been seen with him or really even talks about him? It is always Michelle talking about the dog, playing, walking, etc. It is like he can’t be around him.

Muslims don’t like dogs.

Amen! That is why those 'prayer meetings' are so phony.

Imagine having Obama and Hillary at a prayer meeting!

What god are they praying to!

I don’t think anyone is “making up” things to dislike about obama. I’m guessing we would all love to embrace some good things he’s bringing to the country. Does he deserve credit for attending the prayer breakfast in the first place? Maybe. Were his remarks nonpartisan and free from political innuendo? I don’t think so. When obama demonstrates that he’s acting in the best interests of the American people instead of consistently promoting his own political agenda, I’ll be much more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

My only point was that it’s silly to criticize him for leaving early. Your other questions are valid.

Sort of like vampires and garlic, wooden stakes and silver bullets.

Time to pray the rosary at 1600 pennsylvania avenue...

Whatever's inside might just evaporate.

FReep CBS (even if you are NOT a Catholic! )

Dear CatholicVote Member,http://paracom.paramountcommunication.com/ct/3873988:5719200849:m:4:122001715:68C4D94E35ADDE0828380C518D1EA8D8

Last year we fought hard to have our “Life: Imagine the Potential” ad shown during the Super Bowl. After several days of negotiations, NBC rejected the ad.

This year Focus on the Family has had success with a different network, as CBS is poised to show their own ad celebrating the accomplishments of college football star Tim Tebow next Sunday.

In 1985, Tebow’s mother Pam was advised to abort her child. She decided against it citing her Christian faith as a source of hope that her son would be ok. Her son, Tim Tebow, won the Heisman Trophy in 2007.

While the ad has been approved, pro-abortion groups are now urging CBS to censor the Super Bowl ad!

Sign our group letter to CBS. Tell them not to give in to pressure and show the ad!

And tell your friends to visit
www.CatholicVote.org to join us!

It still amazes us how vicious pro-abortion advocates can be, especially when they don’t get their way, or sense that their “cause” is being threatened in a serious way.

For all their talk about respect of mothers, of choice, and of differences of opinions, none of those things apply to actual pro-life people. Or in this case, the mother of Tim Tebow.

Here is just one example. It’s important for us to read this and realize the level of anger we are facing. This from Tommy Craggs at DeadSpin:

"I’m guessing the Tebows’ ad, for spanky Jim Dobson’s Focus on the Family, will extol the glories of family and motherhood and the value of children and other seemingly innocuous fare; it will also be 30 seconds of anti-abortion dog-whistling to the Christian right on a frequency somewhere beyond the range of only CBS executives. The moral, implicit or otherwise, will be: don’t terminate your pregnancy; that blastocyst might turn into Tim Tebow.

"... But the Tebows’ message should be called for what it is, and what it is is outright quackery that doesn’t differ appreciably from my going on television with a toy stethoscope and urging America to start treating itself with leeches.
"

Breathtaking, isn’t it?

And this sort of vitriol is not even limited to individuals. As Matt Archibold points out, the Center for Reproductive Rights, in a letter to CBS, is flat-out claiming Tebow’s mom is a liar!

The wider audience however – those who are not passionately pro-life or pro-abortion – are seeing both sides of this issue for who they are, and that’s always a good thing for pro-lifers.

Here at CatholicVote, we believe in supporting Tim Tebow, the brave choice of his mother, and the smart decision made by the CBS executives.

Please
click here to tell CBS you support their decision to air the Tim Tebow Commercial (and tell your friends, too!)

Sincerely,

Brian Burch and Thomas Peters,
CatholicVote.org
 

P.S. The fact that we are talking about a successful pro-life ad airing during the Super Bowl speaks volumes about our movement. We are growing more confident and more effective every day. Anyone involved in efforts to affirm the dignity of human life should feel proud next Sunday when this ad is broadcast to hundreds of millions around the world.

Shameful indeed! When Mother Teresa spoke at the Prayer Breakfast in 1994, the Clintons stayed put. They even gave her their silly PC clap at the end which was hysterical as Mother Teresa had just finished throwing fireballs at them (in her very clear way) in regard to abortion.

Light always chases away dark, so I guess I can understand why Obama left (if, in fact, this is accurate info). I hope his girls become pro-life zealots.
