Obama says he's praying for 'God's protection for persecuted Christians'
CNN ^ | 12/23/2015 | Eugene Scott,

Obama said Wednesday he is praying for Christians being persecuted this Christmas by ISIS.

"We join with people around the world in praying for God's protection for persecuted Christians and those of other faiths, as well as for those brave men and women engaged in our military, diplomatic, and humanitarian efforts to alleviate their suffering and restore stability, security, and hope to their nations," the President said in a statement released by the White House.

...

Obama's statement comes in the wake of numerous atrocities committed by ISIS against Christians. The President has been repeatedly criticized by GOP candidates for not speaking enough about Christians persecuted in the Middle East.

Republican front-runner Donald Trump previously told CNN's "New Day" that the Obama administration has been welcoming only Muslim refugees from Syria, not Christians - which CNN's Chris Cuomo disputed.

"If you happen to be a Christian in Syria, it's almost impossible to come into this country," Trump said. "If you're a Muslim, you can get in."

How ironic: I’m praying he gets the hell out of the Oval Office ASAP.

In other words, God had better protect them, because Obama sure won’t.

Our answer to prayer would be your resignation, Barky!

FALSANI: Do you pray often?

OBAMA: Uh, yeah, I guess I do.

Its’ not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.

He says whatever he is told to say. He is just a spokesperson for the shadowy cabal which snuck him into the oval office.

The first time I saw this, it was stuck to a wheelchair in 2009. It was true then and truer today.

FUBO!

Las Vegas and the 6 US military killed by his ‘partner,’ the Taliban, have an effect.

I wonder what the next shoe to drop will be. Pix of butchered Christian babies?

Matthew 7:15-20New King James Version (NKJV)

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Then why would the First Moslem sponsor crucifixions
in Egypt, slavery in Syria, and beheadings
from the USA to Iraq?

He’s the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth and he sends out cruise missiles that the drop of a hat. He could actually do something if he actually wanted to.

Wait. Which liberal newspaper was it that ran the cover page complaining about God not stopping the San Bernardino terror attack? Will they now go after Obama for praying, since God has not stopped all the Christian persecution?
