President Obama offered a public prayer Thursday for two Americans held separately by North Korea and Iran, saying his administration will continue to fight for their release.

Mr. Obama said at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington that the U.S. “will do everything in our power” to gain the release of Kenneth Bae, a Christian missionary in prison in North Korea, and the Rev. Saeed Abedini of Boise, Idaho, who remains imprisoned in Iran

SNIP

The president prayed, “Let us never forget those who are persecuted today, among them Americans of faith. “

no...

he pretends for the cameras, for only that moment.

His actions reveal the lie, regarding his view of “Freedom of Religion”, and the Free Exercise clause.

That is not a prayer, unless he is praying to "us". It is a challege or an admonition, but not a prayer.

Yeah. I guess he’s praying that it won’t be long before those of us who don’t want to “fundamentally transform” our republic into a Marxist state will be behind barbed wire in this country.

Anybody know why large numbers of military helicopters are flying low over my southern city at 10-11 pm nearly every night?

Say what you will about Obama but the man can twist a knife like no other.

He knows we know he’s not going to do anything but he knows how to hurt the devout by mocking them.

I don’t believe him. He doesn’t say anything about having a pen or a phone (and this is the one time such accouterments are appropriate devices).

“The killing of the innocent is never fulling God’s will,” the president said.

But letting newborns from "botched" abortions die in medical waste bins or by being put in a closet until they die is ok, huh, ya' stupid ass?

What a filthy hypocrite!
