EDITORIAL: Obama to Christians: Forget you--Religious voters have little faith in this president
The Washington Times ^ | April 25, 2011 | Editorial

President Obama delivered official messages for Passover, Ramadan and Diwali. But for Easter? Not so much. The White House came under fire this week for neglecting to issue official statements for either Easter or Good Friday, though Mr. Obama did take time Friday to address Earth Day, a celebration observed by tens of thousands of pagan worshippers of the earth goddess Gaia.

Mr. Obama clearly didn’t simply forget Easter. He and his family attended an Easter service. He presided over the annual Easter egg roll, a White House tradition dating back to the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes. Mr. Obama also hosted his second annual Easter prayer breakfast, at which he said “as busy as we are, as many tasks as pile up, during this season, we are reminded that there’s something about the resurrection - something about the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, that puts everything else in perspective.” His brief breakfast address could well have served as the official Easter proclamation, if the White House had thought of it.

Mr. Obama has had a difficult official relationship with Easter. His 2010 Easter proclamation was criticized because he attempted to include other faiths in what is a uniquely Christian holiday. This was not equal-opportunity multiculturalism; his Ramadan message did not include a shout-out to American Jews, for example, even though his 2011 Passover message bizarrely related the holiday to the current Arab uprisings. Likewise, Mr. Obama’s 2009 message stated that, “while we worship in different ways, we also remember the shared spirit of humanity that inhabits us all - Jews and Christians, Muslims and Hindus, believers and nonbelievers alike.”...

This illegal alien who honored muslim holydays with speaches COMPLETELY IGNORED THE SOLEMNITY OF OUR CHRISTIAN EASTER OF JESUS’ RISING FROM THE TOMB BY PUBLICLY READING FROM BUNNY AND CHICKY BOOKS INSTEAD OF OUR BIBLE.

We should demand an explanation AND A BIG APOLOGY from this interloper!

Intentional, yes. Clueless? How can the term clueless be used in the same sentence as 'intentional'? He's anything but clueless. It's obvious, whether through this piece or elsewhere, he acts based on a plan. And here the plan is to dis Christianity. That is not 'clueless'. Just as his fiscal, social and environmental policies have nothing to do with being 'clueless'.

Why, after two years of this, do people still insist on his being clueless, or a dolt, or stupid? Why, after two years can't people accept how evil this man is?

Obama does not follow Jesus Christ. Obama is an Islamo-Marxist-Chicago Gangster. Obama’s trinity is hate, lies and death.

Oh, it was intentional. They don’t just forget something like Easter. There is a real evil at work here.

Dr. Wallace Charles Smith is the Senior Minister at the historic Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington, DC.

speech Smith gave at Eastern University last year stated that America was no longer past its race problems, even with a black president, since “Jim Crow” can now “get a regular news program on Fox” and Rush Limbaugh can make the same “statements that was once the purview of Robert Shelton and members of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Citizen’s Council.”

Obama made a video message to the people of Iran for the Muslim holiday of Nowruz but didn’t make a video for Easter.

Not much doubt as to why Zer0 chose the Shiloh Baptist Church for Easter, what a pathetic adolescent in a grown mans body.

He doesn't believe a word he is saying.
