Tim Tebow Closes National Prayer Breakfast in Prayer, But Obama Leaves (Shameful)

Posted on 02/05/2010 5:08:57 AM PST by blueyon

The following is the text and video of pro-life college football player Tim Tebow closing the national prayer breakfast in prayer. Tebow appeared at the event in an ironic contrast to pro-abortion President Barack Obama as the nation awaits a Super Bowl story about how his mother spared him from abortion.

Tebow was introduced by Senator Johnny Isakson, of Georgia, as "a role model for the youth of America."

He joked that he found he funny a fan of the University of Georgia would invite a former member of the Florida Gators to present the prayer.

Tebow joked, "It is rather incredible that a Georgia Bulldog invited a Florida Gator, so you can see the hand of God here." Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who also attended the event, spoke of her own preference of adoption over abortion and told the story of opening a home for the children of unwanted pregnancies after a visit from Mother Teresa. Reports indicate Obama left shortly beore Tebow's prayer -- and the video of his prayer shows Tebow not mentioning Obama

Obama’s First Commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. He probably just showed up to see if anyone would pray to him and when they didn’t he left.

I have to admit that I am looking forward to Obammie the Commie coming completely unhinged on the public stage. As his popularity continues to plummet and his agenda is abandoned by those who hoisted them on his shoulders, he will not know how to react, for he has always had people hand him whatever he wanted, never had to work for anything, and never had to suffer defeat.

But a wounded narcissist is very dangerous. When this happens, look for him to start a major war. Unpopular tyrants historically drag their nation into a war to prop up their flagging support with a sudden patriotism rooted in the survival instinct.

He probably was late for his 5 Muslim prayers that day.

Obama hates America and he has no respect for the Lord either.

No one is surprised.

Reports indicate Obama left shortly before Tebow's prayer

Not surprised, Obama backs partial birth abortion and seems intolerant of other views

Obama didn’t want to hear a real Christian pray.

“Reports indicate Obama left shortly before Tebow’s prayer— “

Probably to avoid the “wailing and gnashing of teeth”.

“Obama didn’t want to hear a real Christian pray.”

I don’t think his religion allows it.

A prayer to Jesus, closed in Jesus’ name would probably have scorched Zero and caused much pain. It was likely wise that he left when he did - before the heavenly artillery hit it’s mark.

He had to run back to his shrine at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.

Tebow’s joke was tasteful, and harmless. It didn’t set himself up to be superior, but only played on longstanding rivalries in a good natured way.

From what I have seen, Tim Tebow is quite a young man.

(Who can prove he’s a natural born citizen) ;-P

But Obama Leaves

"...But deliver us from evil..." springs into my head every time I hear or see the oval office moron.

Can you just imagine how Obama will be if & when he is ever treated like President George W Bush was all those years by the left? It should be interesting, I expect him to just loose it, he won’t be able to take it . . . and I expect it will happen before his 4 years are up.

“Obama didn’t want to hear a real Christian pray.”

Very true as an arrogant, unrighteous hypocrite hears the prayers of the genuine they cannot stand it.

Proverbs 29:27 says:

An unjust man is abominable to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way is abominable to the wicked.

Both his parents are American, but wasn’t he born in the Philippines?

double dittos. That is our prayer every morning. As a nation of Christians, we need to pray to purge this land of ne’er do wells and get back to the faith of our founding fathers. God abhors corruption. Is there just one left in Sin City who is not corrupt? Including alllllllll the lobbyists and employees and appointees and elected ones?
