Several members of Congress and one of America's most prominent religious leaders criticized President Obama on Capitol Hill on Thursday for a seeming brush-off during National Day of Prayer observances and for not referring to America as a "Judeo-Christian" nation in remarks last month in Turkey.
"We are disappointed at the lack of emphasis on prayer at the National Day of Prayer," James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, told reporters at the Cannon House Office Building after a three-hour prayer observance.
"There are tens of millions of people praying across this country - 40,000 prayer events taking place today - and yet for the first time since 1993, the White House did not even send a representative of the Cabinet to the National Day of Prayer.
"Bill Clinton did during his eight years," Mr. Dobson continued. "It goes clear on back to Ronald Reagan making the first Thursday of May the National Day of Prayer ... and in recent years, certainly there has been a White House presence but there's not today."

Like so much about this man and his administration: disgusting.
Baby-murder and buggery are both antithetical to religion. Unless he prays to the devil, any support for prayer would alienate him from his followers.
Uh, maybe because he's no Christian?
Don't worry,though, the RNC is sure not to make an issue of it.
Obama can celebrate National Coming Out Day, but not National Day of Prayer.
You don’t have to be religious to understand the value of prayer. It works. When it doesn’t it makes people feel better. Win/win.
America is now one nation under “Allah and his usurper”.
Obama holds the same disdain for prayer meetings as he does for tea parties.
Is he muslim or a lunatic “freemason”?
Just wondering
Basically he is an atheist with Muslim leanings.

Right he really worships himself and I have seen it. Just turn the sound off when he is on TV and
hussein prays five times a day... on a rug facing mecca.
LLS
He is an atheist with Muslim sympathies who operates in Masonic secrecy.

Maybe you ought to learn what a Freemason is before you lump them in with Muslims.
Personally, I’d rather see the ‘Bama stay away from churches and military cemeteries; his hypocrisy is unendurable.
