Some conservative commentators may feel inclined to spend Presidents Day ruminating over Barack Obama's evil intentions, or denouncing the chief executive as an alien interloper and ideologue perversely determined to damage the republic. Instead, they should consider the history of John Adams's White House prayer and develop a more effective focus for their criticism.
On Nov. 2, 1800, a day after he became the first president to occupy the newly constructed executive mansion, Adams wrote to his wife Abigail: "I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof."

Michael Medved..a long time liberal apologist. ‘Nuf said.
No, of course not.
He is trying to destroy it. To wit, note the use of Egypt as a proxy to obliterate Israel. To wit, collapsing the dollar with QE. To wit, proceeding unconstitutionally with health care and oil drilling.
“Trying”?
In a rare moment of truth, obama told us that he was going to fundamentally change this country.
Fundamentally means to redo the whole order of things.
And his media cheers.
Medved is an anti birther like O Reilly, Beck, Ingraham, Boortz, Coulter, Hewitt and a few other fake conservatives who like that Prince Al Waleed Saudi cash.
That’s a shame. He is so incompetent I wouldn’t be half as worried if the destruction of the US was what he was trying to do.
Why don’t you, Michael, consider HIS history of Bill Ayers, Racist Wright, Franklin Davis and the people he has surrounded himself with: Van Jones, Jarrett, The Wise Latina, Rahmie, Kagan et al, their views towards the USA?
“And his media cheers.” Hopefully the public will wake up and yank the plug on Obama TV. Prince Al Waleed’s Fox is no better.
Don’t forget a $3.7 TRILLION budget where nearly half the money will come from the printing press.
Medved basically trashes the entire conservative movement.
It was an odd opinion piece to be quite honest.
It didn’t actually make any arguments that the big O isn’t trying to weaken the U.S., but rather spent a lot of time on how even bad presidents in the past didn’t have bad intentions. Then it pointed out that the allegations that the O is trying to harm the nation makes the accuser look bad.
Both of those are somewhat reasonable. However they don’t actually address his stated thesis.
I will admit that it isn’t a good position to take in the wider media that the O is trying to hurt America (even if he likely is, and trust me, it wouldn’t shock me since this much concentrated incompetence can’t just be a coincidence) because you can come out looking like a wingnut. However Don’t make that your central thesis the fact that the harm is unintentional when that really is debatable.
A conservative poseur. ‘Nuff said...
Mike’s relatives thought communism would strengthen America back in the day. IMO they were wrong and Mike still suffers from, “but they were good people” mentality.
Mr. Medved. This is the point is it not? It is obvious that he has vigorously pursued things that are demonstrably unpopular. So to what do you attribute this Mr. Medved? Burden of proof switch please.
Somehow your article fails to address the point.
Mike have you ever heard of Cloward-Piven?...
**NOTE: Mike is either willfully stupid OR complicit with it.. I've just upgraded Medved to Useful Idiot..
Whether he’s trying or not, and that’s debatable, even his would-be defenders implicitly report that’s what he is in fact doing. Since he is, what are we to do about it? Sorry, Oprah, but this job isn’t a giveaway so that he and you can feel better about your race as he learns on the job - and he’s not even descended from the enslaved Africans; he’s descended from the Africans who enslaved other Africans.
He calls himself 'conservative' for ratings but appears to most fear being associated with the 'right wing'.
His opinion should carry about as much weight as Bill ORielly's.
