MY Father-in-law is a Baptist minister and proclaimed Obama the Anti-Christ back during the Dem primaries... every day the Annointed One seems to be proving him true.

... and who are the geniuses praying for him?

Well, they may pray for him, but they're not saying for what :)

Maybe he did it because there are no prayer rugs at the NDOP.

"That's the way the president will publicly observe National Prayer Day -- privately he'll pray as he does every day,"
Yep. Five Times, towards Mecca.

Apparently not one of those who supported the faux messiah.

The idea of seeing the man in prayer makes me more than a little nauseous, to be honest. In fact, I think I need to go wash my hands compulsively for an hour or so.

B. Hussein doesn't need a "Prayer Breakfast"...

He already prays six times a day.

The geniuses praying for him are those that read God’s Word and take it to heart. The Bible instructs us to pray for our leaders and those in authority. Nowhere does it say pray for the leaders we like or happen to agree with.

God’s ways are not our ways. We are to obey. We can pray that our current leadership finds the Truth, that they act justly, etc.... But whether to pray for Obama or not is not left as an option to the practicing Christian.

I think Ben Franklin's opinion on prayer in governance might bear repeating:

In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understandings? In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger we had daily prayer in this room for the divine protection.-Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance?

I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that "except the Lord build the House they labour in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better, than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest.

I therefore beg leave to move-that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the Clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that Service

I will pray for him. That does NOT mean I will pray for God to grant him success in his agenda. I mean I will pray that he may rule well...which is almost the complete opposite in this case.
