White House officials deny claims that President Obama might not mark the National Day of Prayer, though they're not ready to say what's planned or if he'll invite conservative evangelical critics.

Joshua DuBois, who heads the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, said it's too early to reveal the president's plans for the day, which is the first Thursday in May.

Gibbs also said the "president prays 5 times each day, whether it's National Prayer Day or not."

[Doogle]

...well since he hasn't selected a church yet.....don't ask don't tell

[rightwingintelligentsia]

They’re still trying to figure out what god to pray to.

[Question_Assumptions]

They could always pull the Greek columns out of storage and ask America to pray to The One.

“They’re still trying to figure out what god to pray to....”

Oh, I’m quite sure they know who their god, Satan, is.

[PurpleMan]

Why should he? Maybe he’s an agnostic, atheist, or Druid.

It’s a dumb national day ceremony.

Good grief, Dude. Don't you know there are a whole bunch of crises TOTUS has to attend to: swine flu, bank failure, mortgage crisis, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran, fashion shoots, movie shoots, wardrobe fittings, Day 100 press conference. He has no time to deal with such mundane items as prayer. (I really hope I don't need to put the on this.)

Oh, you set yourself up for this one!!! :-)
(Or should it be THAT ONE?!)

[boomop1]

Does the prayer rug point in the correct direction, towards Hell?

[pillut48]

NOT to the majority of Americans who believe in God and prayer!

[digger48]

They’re having trouble deciding which direction they want us to face when praying.....DC? Chicago? Hawaii? or Kenya?

[caseinpoint]

Okay, what happened to my sarc in that paren? You know, I really don’t understand HTML.

[Red Steel]

Gibbs also said the "president prays 5 times each day, whether it's National Prayer Day or not."

Is that towards Mecca Gibbs?

See Google search: Muslims pray five times to Mecca

[VRWCmember]

He hasn’t decided which rug to use, or which photo op location most directly faces toward Mecca?

[chiefqc]

He’s trying to fit it into his busy schedule after golf, vacations, trips, photo-ops, playing basketball, goofing off, oh well you can see where the church rates.

[freekitty]

He has a rug to pray on too.

[beethovenfan]

B.O. will pray to Allah at the nearest mosque.

It’s a dumb national day ceremony.

So I suppose we are not a Christian Nation and should honor the following instead? You know Communism can not survive with Biblical principles in it’s way!

This Friday, April 17th, has been chosen by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network as the “National Day of Silence,” when students are urged to show their support for the homosexual movement in the public schools. Believe it or not, there is a resolution pending in the House of Representatives supporting this effort. In addition, the resolution asks President Obama to issue a proclamation “calling on the people of the United States to observe the National Day of Silence with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.” Prayers are prohibited in our public schools, but by co-sponsoring this resolution, at least three dozen members of Congress have shown they believe the homosexual lifestyle should be promoted in the public schools. Is this what you believe Congress should be working on right now?

White House Plan:

1) Get a prayer rug
2) Bow to mecca
3) Pray to allah
4) Bring gitmo terrorists to Montana.
