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."

Interestingly timed with the release of the Iranian Christian Pastor. Almost as if somebody said -— “hey, let’s try Trumps Idea”.

Meaning the coming visas for Iranians.

Trump’s doing great as a candidate. Everything is changing already, on the flip side though, a good economy gives Hillary her best chance.

In the recent past, the United States was the agent of God’s protection.

So, what does Obola have up his sleeve? He has said almost nothing about being Christian these past seven years, but I've seen at least two separate mentions by him this week that implies that he is (I now, it's Christmas, but he isn't a Christian).

Eight years in and he suddenly notices Christians are missing across the globe?

What possibly gives with a remark like this?

His poll numbers pushing under 40, or what? There has to be some advantage to come up with a Muslim blasphemy like this one?

Actions speak louder than words.
So his actions are to allow muslim refugees in and keep Christian refugees out.
Therefore, obunghole can blow it out his a$$.
Don’t let his plane from Hawaii back in here.

... praying for God's protection for persecuted Christians ...

That would explain the black candles and the dead chickens.

He’s “praying” to god?

Who believes this crap?

This is propoganda for Christmas. He’s golfing. He’s not celebrating Christmas. He’s not praying.
