Obama AWOL for National Day of Prayer

Friday is the National Day of Prayer, and the President once again shows that he is the President of the whole United States and not just the liberal wing of the Democrat party.

Yeah, right.

So it's no surprise that Barack Obama will not publicly observe the National Day of Prayer. Oh, he'll sign a proclamation but he won't have anything else to do with it. Instead he'll pray "privately," which is just the kind of example the President of the Unites States should set: Lead in private. (If that's how he chooses to lead, what's with the surprise appearance at the daily press briefing that brought the media to its feet?)

Why should Obama endure a National Day of Prayer when he doesn't even consider the United States to be "a Christian nation"? Isn't he the Liberal Messiah, the agent of Change? Why should we bother praying to God when Obama and the Government will take care of us? That's why he was elected, wasn't it?

When Obama does address a prayer breakfast (as he did on Feb. 9 below), he prefers to speak of faith in negative terms as being something "welded as a tool to divide us from one another."




Today is not the first time Obama has distanced himself from topics of faith and religion; it certainly won't be the last.
