As the Washington Times points out, the latest Obama signal of religious relativism came after his administration had issued a statement on the Kenyan massacre at a Christian college without once mentioning the religion of the victims - or the attackers.
Addressing an ecumenical gathering at the White House of cardinals, ministers, pastors and the lay faithful, Mr. Obama was talking about the Apostle John’s call to love “with actions and in truth” rather than with words. The president then briefly gave in to temptation, and deviated from his prepared remarks.
“On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love,” Mr. Obama said. “And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned. But that’s a topic for another day.”
The audience in the East Room murmured, some with apparent disapproval, as others laughed. The president did not elaborate on what he meant, and returned to his address.
“I was about to veer off,” Mr. Obama told the crowd. “I’m pulling it back.”
The president’s zinging of Christians came four days after he sanitized any reference to religion in the terrorist attacks at a college in Kenya that left 147 dead and scores wounded. Witnesses said the extremists, reportedly belonging to the Islamist terrorist group al-Shabbab, targeted Christians for death by asking hostages if they were familiar with passages from the Koran.
Mr. Obama’s official statement on the attacks described “terrorist atrocities” and “innocent men and women,” but never mentioned religion. His spokesman did say that Christians “reportedly” were targeted.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, called Mr. Obama’s comments at the prayer breakfast “very disturbing.”

Liberal souls were sold to Satan long ago.
It’s not an Easter breakfast on the Tuesday after. I’ve never heard of anyone trying to pull that.
“If you love me, you’ll give me my way”, the most adolescent and manipulative definition of love ever. Spoken like a teenage boy in heat.
And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. Matthew 7:23 (ESV)
How many “less than loving” remarks have we heard from THIS president???
Here’s a less than loving remark” FUBO.
My thought exactly. There is nothing less loving than the liberal democrat approach to everything. rejecting God's guidance has been a consistently bad idea, which has destroyed most black families in this country. Pretending that God was wrong about homosexuality will destroy even more people, and the democrats are okay with that if it expands their power.
Was he less then loving when he supported traditional marriage two years ago?
He'll probably show up at a Holocaust memorial service and use it as a forum to criticize Jews. He has no respect for Christians or Jews.
Look, if you do not go along with everything this dude says and does, you are less than loving. By the way, you’re also a racist.
It's not us, it's YOU, Baraq!
Why would any Christian 'love' a minion of satan?
How about the less than loving head chopping islamists?
And the dumbacrats still slobber all over the guy. INSANE!!
It depends on what his interpretation of the expressions by Christians is, and what his own personal judgment about the expressions is. But, in well over a hundred Biblical passages about the poor,not one mentions the government.
