White House Drops Prayer Event

Obama: No White House Observance for National Day of Prayer

Breaking tradition with President George W. Bush, the Obama administration has announced there will not be a White House observance for the National Day of Prayer this year.

"We are disappointed in the lack of participation by the Obama administration," said Mrs. Shirley Dobson, chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. "At this time in our country's history, we would hope our president would recognize more fully the importance of prayer."

The White House has indicated it will release a proclamation recognizing the National Day of Prayer on Thursday.

The National Observance will take place from 9 a.m. to noon EDT, as Dr. and Mrs. Dobson, Beth Moore and others gather in Washington, D.C., to pray for America. The event will be broadcast live on GOD TV (Channel 365 on DirecTV), Channel 138 on Sky Angel and online.

Now Obama's true colors are showing up, although I knew all along that he was not a man of prayer. I will be praying for him on the National Day of Prayer

Haha. Like Bush is even remotely a Christian. Right, that's why he's part of the Bohemian Club and Yale's Skull and Bones Society. All it would take is 15 minutes of research to find out what kind of sick stuff they do. Or you could just ignore those facts and carry on.

Wow, how blatant can they be? God will not bless such a obvious rejection of His truth.
