WHITE HOUSE - This Thursday, for the first time in nine years, there won't be a White House ceremony in observance of the National Day of Prayer.

BHO says he will pray privately as he does daily (wonder which way he faces) . So if your so inclined take a knee and say one for our nation. If your more inclined find a service in your area http://www.ndptf.org/custom/events/eventSearch/
May GOD help us.

Keep trying to see the respect and decency for an American Tradition from BHO. GWB & Clinton, invited pastors and rabbi's to the White House on the first Thurs. in May, for what::?
TO PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY! OMG What a concept!
Thanks BHO, you keep showing your a class act. Where is Jerimiah Wright? Maybe he's your better pastor......

This is mystifyingly stupid. I mean, if he were an atheist and skipping it out of principle, I think most folks would respect that. Given the fact that he got baptized as an adult and parked himself in a church pew for twenty years, why wouldn't you hold the thing? I mean Clinton did it and its not like he's a real church going guy, though Hillary is and maybe it was her influence. Regardless, it just seems like its a leadership fuction, invite clerics from all 32 flavors and pray for the nation. No one gets left out, its not like we don't need it, and what's the harm?

Mountains and molehills. I've never in my life needed the state to help me pray or endorse my prayers. My grandmother used to refer to TV preachers and the politicians who associated with them "banty cock roosters" and never thought too much about people who have to make a show about how religious they are. I think she was on to something.
I pray every day. Why should one day be any different?

"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." George Washington
I fully understand that worship and relationship with God has many private part, but there is a time to be open and honest. Ninety-nine percent (my own made up statistic ... if they can make them up to make a point why can't I) is public show to steer people in the right direction. In a time when the Country is in need of healing and being drawn toward unitiy, what is wrong with a public display of genuine Faith ... If you have any genuine faith?
""I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spit you out of my mouth!"" The words of Jesus from Revelation 3:15 & 16
Are you cold in Faith and to be avoided and left out, are you hot in Faith and available to help, or are you lukewarm and just going though the motions as a show and oblivious to the neccessity of Faith? I believe our current leader is showing that he is the third and as such dangerous.
I would have more respect for a person that takes a stand one way or the other (whether I agree with them or not) than the foundationless shifting of someone just looking for approval.

Sorry, but I've always believed that if you want to know what they thought at the founding of this Nation you should go back to the Founding Fathers.
