Obama Administration Opposes FDR Prayer at WWII Memorial
Fox News ^ | 11/4/20`` | Todd Stams

Republican lawmakers and conservative activists are expressing outrage after the Obama administration announced its objection to adding President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The objection was noted during a congressional hearing on Rep. Bill Johnson's, R-Ohio, bill -- the "World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2011."

"It is unconscionable that the Obama administration would stand in the way of honoring our nation's distinguished World War II veterans," Johnson said. "President Roosevelt's prayer gave solace, comfort and strength to our nation and our brave warriors as we fought against tyranny and oppression."

Chiseled in stone above the Speaker’s chair in the US House of Representatives - “IN GOD WE TRUST”.

Go after that with a hammer and chisel you heathen. I dare you. Precedent means nothing to these barbarians.

Actually, there is already a Roosevelt Memorial there in DC...why not just put up another stone over on that acreage with the prayer? The WW II Memorial has just two central themes....two wars going on at the same time (Atlantic and Pacific), and the various states who contributed men to the war. If you spend half-an-hour at the WW II Memorial....it’s a pretty simplistic message.

Are you surprised? This is the same president who refuses to cooperate with a subpoena requesting documents related to its doling out a $535 million loan guarantee to now bankrupt solar panel manufacturer Solyndra.

Corruption ... evil.

He’ll just order it covered with a black cloth. He’s done that before.

If it were a Moslem prayer or a cheer for the death
of America, THAT would be A-OK with the ineligible Tyrant.

I am sure Obama would have had no problem with quotes from the Quran.

Zero ain’t popular enough to be the anti-christ. He’s also too stupid.
All they had to do was add allah akbar on the end and zero would have been all over it.

No to President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day prayer... yet they would say yes to "Allahu Akbar" in a heartbeat!
