Another Maddow news clip that directly addresses those that question the wisdom of the POTUS attending the National Prayer Breakfast. Link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show#35249084

For those that question or have questioned if the POTUS is doing things that help the progress toward good things happening for our country, please consider the info. in this Rachel Maddow news clip, link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/ns/msnbc_tv-rachel_maddow_show#35248822

I share the dissappointments of those that want more done but I trust this POTUS more than ANY Republican and most Democrats and continue to support his efforts to move our country toward the goals he has defined.

Do we really care if people are religious or not? Don’t we simply want our president to be willing to go into different venues, friendly and unfriendly alike (much progress is possible by making fact-based reasoned points in unfriendly or enemy venues).

The most important point is, our president needs to be a fact-based reasoner and I think Pres. Obama is. I was glad to hear Pres. Obama discribe many alternate points of view to the most ultra-religious views expressed by many in power (mostly Republicans).

Personally, I don’t care who anyone prays to, or if they pray at all, as long as their actions help progress toward good things happening.

Pres. Obama’s remarks begin about 1 hour 15 mins. into the video and last about 15 mins. Here is the C-span link: http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2010/02/04/HP/A/29222/National+Prayer+Breakfast.aspx

You’re projecting your authoritarianism again. Refusal to endorse is not the same as Stalinist oppression.

Indeed Jim, I would love to see President Obama defend “the value of fact and reason” someday.

Would it be bad if he did? As long is a group is a legal group I dont think the president should ignore them. Every citizen has a voice and I cant believe you are really saying there voice is too big. There is a level where they should be cust back down again? Is that Stalin talk? What is the size limit before you are cut down? Has the NAACP reached it, they seem pretty big with a pretty powerful voice. What about the AARP, there voice is really powerful? This list can go on. Please share the criteria for too big, my civics and government classes have failed me, this is all so very new to me.

He did NOT make a speech about the importance of “fact and reason.” He did NOT make a speech about how “religious views” are unimportant.

He made a speech about how important it is for everyone to pray and have faith and keep their mind on “God.” He made a speech agreeing with the attendees that religiosity is crucial.

Barack Obama, our preacher in chief.

No, Jacob, this group already has a voice, and it’s an inappropriately powerful voice.

They’re like tobacco company executives. Should Obama go to big tobacco meetings at which people talk about how great it feels to smoke cigarettes?

By that logic, Barack Obama has a duty to speak at the next meeting of the National Man-Boy Love Association.
