Prayer breakfast calls on president to act 'for the people'
Barack Obama is “an appointed minister of God to do what is good,” according to the prayer of Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell at the Commonwealth Prayer Breakfast held at the Richmond, Va., convention center.
The annual breakfast yesterday drew more than 1,000 people, including many of the state’s leaders. In addition to McDonnell, others offering prayers included Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, House Speaker William Howell and state Democrat Chairwoman Charniele Herring.
McDonnell asked, during his prayer for Obama, that God give him “the wisdom of Solomon.”
The opening prayer was delivered by the mayor of Richmond, Dwight C. Jones, a Democrat. Jones, an African-American, sat next to Cuccinelli, a tea party favorite who currently is running for governor to replace McDonnell.
All those at the head table sat quietly as McDonnell prayed for Obama and his family. McDonnell prayed for Obama’s “wife Michelle and his two girls to have normalcy.” For Obama’s duties of office, the governor prayed that he would “get done what is right and just for the people.”
Speaking of all elected officials in the nation including himself, the governor asked God that “all do what is right in the eyes of God.”
It is not the first time McDonnell has advocated prayer for Obama.
Early in 2012, he told a Boy Scout troop to “pray for Mr. Obama, because he’s got a lot of hard decisions to make.”
That request came as the troop was on a tour of the

Obama is not a minister of God but we should pray for him
Yes. I can think of a number of the Psalms that are highly appropriate.
“Jesus wept.” John 11:35
and so should we. Obummer is certainly NOT a minister and we do need to pray for him. God answers a variety of prayers every day...
Plan for the worst, hope for the best, work to the glory of God, and pray without ceasing.
The governor was warning Obama of the heavy punishment that awaits an evil ruler.
0bama doesn’t believe in God. His actions speak loudly about his beliefs. He believes government is a god.
Someone please have Gov. McDonnell undergo drug testing immediately.
Our leaders are selected by God I think is what he meant.
Yes, I have no love for Obama or especially his actions and his policies, however...
1 Tim 2:1,2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness."
Daniel 2:20-21 Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.
Psalms 75:6-7 For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. 7 But God is the Judge: He puts down one, And exalts another.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes.
Daniel 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride.”
obama is a spawn of satan and i pray for him to be impeached from office.
I've known Governor McDonnel for 15 years (we're NOT best buds) and he's one of the good guys, and always has been.
Wasn't such a ruler (king) also the head of the church?

Huh? God didn't "appoint" Obama as President (though Obama's supporters like Jamie Foxx certainly seem to think he's God chosen one). Flawed, fallible human beings elected Obama as President. He was selected by voters for a government position, not "called" by God to be leader of a church or ministry.
The governor was warning Obama of the heavy punishment that awaits an evil ruler.
I absolutely agree. Very much like the warning to leaders and nations as explained by Jonathan Cahn in his book, "The Harbinger."

Psalm 109:8-May his days in office be few and may another soon take his place.
Yes, Proverbs 21:1 indicates that the Lord guides king’s hearts however the Lord pleases.
On the other hand, consider the kings of the ancient Israelites who did evil in the eyes of the Lord, the Lord ultimately turning these kings and the Israelites over to invading armies.
And given that it has been said that the Constitution is our king, the problem is that many patriots evidently do not understand how evil Constitution-ignoring Obama is because many patriots are evidently not familiar with the roughly two pages of constitutionally limited powers of the federal government.
