WH Fails to Release Easter Proclamation
foxnews.com ^ | April 25, 2011 | foxnews.com

President Obama failed to release a statement or a proclamation recognizing the national observance of Easter Sunday, Christianity's most sacred holiday.

By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

The White House also failed to release a statement marking Good Friday. However, they did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the president's weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter.

However, the First Family did attend an Easter Sunday worship service at a Baptist church and last week, the president hosted an Easter breakfast for Christian ministers. In that gathering, the president spoke openly about the Christian faith.

When the White House released statements about Muslim holidays, no attempts were made to include Christianity or to mention a spirit of inclusivity. For example, in his 2010 statement on Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha, Obama made no references to Christianity or any other religion.

By contrast, former President Bush traditionally included Scripture passages in his Easter messages and made a point to explain what Easter is about. Like Obama, though, he did not release statements marking Good Friday.

Meanwhile the WH is hard at work spinning that if the debt limit is not raised the sky will fall down and granny will be kicked.

No problem!!! Did you not know that Obama is a Muslim!!! And...a Quaddfi adorer also. Why do think that the killer of American innocents is still alive and well? Need proof, just ask Louie Farrakhan & Reverand Jeremiah Wright, both avid Quaddfi lovers!!! Oh, shucks, I forgot, Americans believe in the hope & change jive!!! Sorry, you just keep in living in Obama’s LaLa land!!!

From BHO’s book “Audacity of Hope”: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

The “church” is a radical leftist anti-Israel black church with a Rev. Wright type pastor (although a little better spoken) that has frequently hosted anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian conferences. Sounds like Bambi was right in his element.

So Obama grabs the “I WENT TO A BAPTIST CHURCH” headline.The media leave out that the preacher preached racism on talk radio all awhile saying all those that dare call Obama a muslim are racist?

Insane Obama propaganda. It won’t work.

Just wait when the Imam climbs up out of that well and he looks like George Burns in a baseball cap (ala Oh God).

He is sending clear signals to the Muslim world that he is one of them

And helping Al Qaida rid Libya of Khadaddy is another way.

They are prparing to instill the Caliphate while Obambi is head of the USA.

If he looks to be losing the next election they will spead things up. If he wins it will be even worse, only one year later.

Yes, it unfortunately is.

My faith and my family are my most important comforts. I am increasingly worried about my country . . .
