Obama Refuses To Pray On National Day Of Prayer

OneNewsNow.com:

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

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama will pray privately as he does every day, but his only public acknowledgement will be to issue a White House proclamation.

Republican Congressman Randy Forbes, co-chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, says a proclamation urging Americans to pray would be more meaningful if the president set a public example. Forbes calls it a missed opportunity, but says, "Hopefully we'll have millions of people around the country that will make up for the void we see at the White House on the National Day of Prayer."

Once again Barry's looking out for his liberal base here, those who can't stand the mention of God or Christianity, much less anything having to do with morals and values. Plus this upholds Barry's statement (made during a recent trip to Turkey) that "America isn't a Christian nation".
