See the beast and his human image yet??? Thursday, May 7, 2009 No National Day of Prayer for the White House WHITE HOUSE - This Thursday, for the first time in nine years, there won't be a White House ceremony in observance of the National Day of Prayer. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama will pray privately as he does every day, but his only public acknowledgement will be to issue a White House proclamation. Republican Congressman Randy Forbes, co-chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, says a proclamation urging Americans to pray would be more meaningful if the president set a public example. Forbes calls it a missed opportunity, but says, "Hopefully we'll have millions of people around the country that will make up for the void we see at the White House on the National Day of Prayer." (See Editor's Note below) On the same day as Gibbs' remarks, the District of Columbia Council gave final approval to legislation that recognizes same-sex "marriages" performed in states where they are legal. Congress has final say over the city's laws and will get 30 days to review the bill. If Congress takes no action, the bill would become law automatically. Editor's Note: President George W. Bush had held a formal White House event for the past eight years marking the National Day of Prayer. There were no official observances during the Bill Clinton administration. The Bush White House also, for the past several years, recognized the Islam observance of Ramadan with a White House dinner. It remains to be seen if the Obama White House will continue that tradition. Remember Always, "Speak the Truth" Your Brother in Christ, *Michael* Last Edited By: aletheuo 05/07/09 07:31:37.

COLORADO SPRINGS - Organizers of this week's National Day of Prayer still don't know whether the White House will participate. The event's evangelical character earned it a White House welcome during President George W. Bush's eight years in office. But Brian Toon, vice chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, says to date, there's been no mention of a White House observance being held this year. According to an article this past week in the Colorado Springs Gazette, advocacy groups for so-called inclusive dialogue on faith in America are "trying to break what they perceive as the organization's monopoly on the event." The newspaper went on to say that the "Interfaith Alliance and Jews on First sent a letter this month to President Barack Obama asking him to declare that the National Day of Prayer is for Americans of all faiths - and even for nonbelievers." The Gazette also reports that "White House officials have not said whether the Obama administration will formally honor the prayer day." The newspaper said that as of Wednesday this past week, Joshua DuBois, executive director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, had not responded to several e-mails from The Gazette. Meanwhile, Toon emphasizes that Americans of any faith can stage their own prayer gatherings or attend those organized by the task force. Unfortunately, he says some have sought to abolish the National Day of Prayer instead. Amid wars, terrorism, moral decline and swine flu, Toon says there's plenty to pray about.

Nice gesture that should tell where his heart is. He won't be found worsipping the God of all Creation because his god is the father of lies, Satan. Obama Sits Out National Day of Prayer as Millions Pray for Him Friday, May 08, 2009 By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer (CNSNews.com) - A caucus room in a House of Representatives office buidling was transformed into a place of worship on Thursday, as people in the nation's capital joined with millions of others Americans across the country to celebrate the National Day of Prayer. Members of Congress, religious and military leaders, and ordinary citizens prayed for the nation and for those who lead it, including President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden - neither of whom made any public appearance or speech to mark the occasion. Obama issued a proclamation marking the day on Thursday afternoon, which is required by federal law. Rev. Daniel P. Coughlin, chaplain of the House, led the opening prayer at the event in the Cannon House Office Building. That prayer included the president and other leaders. "As we pray for our president today and the whole executive branch, we all pray Psalm 46 for those who have the leadership over our nation and this country," Coughlin said. "Psalm 46 begins, 'God is our refuge and strength and ever-present hope in trouble.'" "Lord, as we lift before you the president, the executive team, and the legislators that surround him, we pray first of all that you would give them the spirit of wisdom," Dave Butts, president of Harvest Prayer Ministries, said as he led the prayer for the executive branch. "A spirit of wisdom that is from you, that is by you, that is for you and it is all about you. "Wisdom that leads this country to the path of righteousness," Butts said. The morning program featured prayers for repentance and all branches of the U.S. government, including lawmakers, Supreme Court judges, and the military. Shirley Dobson, chairwoman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, was joined by her husband, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, in introducing speakers and prayer leaders, which included Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.), Gen. James Amos, assistant commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, federal judge Priscilla Owen and NFL star Shaun Alexander. Beth Moore, a popular Christian speaker, author, and honorary chairwoman of the task force, was the keynote speaker. She spoke about the importance of prayer for the future of the nation. "We the people of God must remain a sound voice of moral conscience," Moore said. Bachmann spoke about what she considers the true power in Washington. "It comforts me to no end to know that it isn't any human being, it is the Lord that has the government on his shoulder," Bachmann said. "All things are possible. He is our true hope. He is the light of the world and in these uncertain times, it is a comfort when Scripture tells us, 'I am God.'" Remember Always, "Speak the Truth" Your Brother in Christ, *Michael*

How about this little piece of information: This is from a News With Views column posted today: By Dr. Laurie Roth May 8, 2009 NewsWithViews.com " Is Obama the sincere Christian so many believe he is? He told the G 20 folks in his last big overseas series of meetings that WE WERE NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION. He gladly bowed low to the King of Saudi Arabia, something a U.S. President has never done. He broke a long-standing tradition when the White House demanded that the symbol of Jesus Christ be covered up before his speech at Georgetown University on April 24th. This was unprecedented by and American President. Most recently, former President Bush and Laura Bush spoke at the same podium and never asked for the symbol of Jesus Christ to be covered up. Obviously, someone has a little issue with Jesus……….hmm." This little "request" from the Black House has caused a firestorm of indignation, and rightly so, that the liar-in-chief will not be able to slither his way out of too easily. No matter what this guy does, he does it badly. *And now, his adminstration is requesting that the symbol of the Lord and Savior, the Christ Jesus be COVERED UP?* COVERED UP????? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this sinful and adulterous generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes with the angels in His Father's Glory. Matt 8:38 Barry Soetoro is a fraud, a liar, a socialist prostitute controlled by the Pilgrim Society, Bilderberg Group, George Soros, David Rockefeller, Maurice Strong and all the other positively evil minions who work in this earth for the implementation of Satan's plan. Barry Soetoro is a closet Muslim who is afraid of the Light and Truth of God, which is why he can't be a room with a true Christian without breaking out in a cold sweat. Barry Soetoro is the most duplicitously evil human (and I use that term *very* loosely) to ever walk on the face of this planet and I dispise his presence. If this wretched demonic being is not the Human of the Son of Perdition, then NO ONE IS! Blessed are those who trust in the Lord...Jer 17:7 Last Edited By: aletheuo 05/08/09 21:02:13. Edited 1 times.

He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
