Obama to be prayer day no-show
http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/ma ... y-no-show/

President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning.

All Mr. Obama will do for the National Day of Prayer, which is Thursday, is sign a proclamation honoring the day, which originated in 1952 when Congress set aside the first Thursday in May for the observance.

We have not seen nothing yet! Blessed is the nation that supports Israel and guess what we are doing, turning our back on them :roll:

But I rejoice in the Lord greatly because see the end of time. We are at the door and soon Jesus will come to take me home!

Come on Guys, give Obama a break. You know he prays 5 times a day on his prayer rug, facing east towards Mecca.

Should I even dare ask, what the importance of this event is, other than for show? I always thought of this along the lines of a "come see me pray" type of thing.

Mr & Mr Clinton went and people judge their belief system.

Even if it's just lip service, having the president at least acknowledge that this is a Christian Nation that believes in prayer is something that is a real loss.

But, at the same time, if he did go and pray he would no doubt be labeled a hypocrite I think.

The Scripture says to pray for the leaders of the nation. Here's my prayer:

“Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few; and let another take his office” (Psa. 109:1-8 ).

Paully, except for the fact that it was begun by George Washington and every President has honored it.

Next he will decide it is not "politically correct" to celebrate Memorial Day. I tell you if he doesn't lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown, he will be impeached by the people.

He cares not about the military, God, patriotism, national pride, nothing....HOW DID WE GET THIS IDIOT??????

The will of the people, my dear Doctor. The will of the people. You want Saul, you got it.

Unfortunately I have to disagree with you on this one, if he doesn't lay a wreath at the tomb, he'll be called a visionary, and lifted up higher because of it. Much of this nation has forgotten about the military, God, patriotism and national pride, THAT is how we got this idiot.

I'm sure you know this, but there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 million eligable voters in the US. Around 72 million dem. 55 million rep. the rest other or didn't vote. I read somewhere that about 160 mil. was all that voted so that leaves roughly 40 mil. who could vote but didn't! I guess the voting booths were too far away? Maybe the game was on?

We have no one to blaim for the condition of America exept for ourselves. We have allowed the powers to shift. We have allowed gays to flaunt there sin in the face of our children. We have allow God/Christ to be removed from public exposure. We have done these things.
I didn't do that, you say. Yes we did! Take a look at some of the churches in the U.S. alone who are gay friendly. I am certain that you could find as many churches (perhaps those on this website) who would just as openly accept many other things that alot of us would find just as troubling.

When we decide to stand up and say absolutely not to the things that go against the very nature of God then we might get somewhere.

The Bible says we'll get somewhere, alright! See you in the furnace, brother! (Or perhaps the Lion's den, or maybe at the whipping post.) We'll praise God together!! Good times!!

Gov. Bredesen of TN, a Democrat and Obama supporter, was at an event yesterday awaiting the email/text message from the President acknowledging the Day of Prayer but the message NEVER came through. Bredesen had to improve!

I too don't see the National day of prayer as a thing we MUST do because we should be praying as a nation everyday but I do recognize its significance and the tradition. Obama promised change folks!
