Obama to Speak at National Prayer Breakfast

Reader Comments

I was disgusted to hear that Obama was going to speak at the breakfast. As I suspected, he used it as a platform for his policies, agendas and to blow his horn on ititiatives that he has put forth which are hurting this country. As usual, everything is about HIM, instead of sticking to prayer for our country, his prayer is that people will stop disagreeing with him. Again, I was sickened by his speech or supposed prayer.

There are too many unnecessary projects that are in the stimulus bill. I hope at the prayer breakfast they ask for Gods help because a true belief in God and family is what this country needs. Not more spending! Honesty, integrity and hard work are missing from many in Washington DC

Isn't this mixing politics with religion? Not good. Presidents should stay out of this. Practice a religion? Fine. Just don't involve politicians who make policy.

Obama should give EQUAL time to people without faith and their national meeting.
