So President Obama this morning attended some event called "The National Prayer Breakfast," a subject which has consistently been like a small hairball to us. ("Small" because there always seem to be so many more important subjects to hack up about.)
Although we cats aren't knocking the teachings of Jesus — he seems a pretty cool fellow to us, overall — we don't understand why elected officials in a secular democratic nation like the United States should feel compelled to attend any "prayer" events. That said, we were somewhat assuaged by the President's charming references to his prayers for his daughter Malia.
"Lord, give me patience as I watch Malia go to her first dance, where there will be boys," the President said. "Lord, let her skirt get longer as she travels to that place."
LOL, okay. In today's new-found atmosphere of bipartisan comity, we can all agree to smile indulgently on this subject and move on, right?
Wrong. Our friends at Free Republic are having none of it. Charmed, they are not.
"I had to turn the channel. It was stomach turning."
"The Lord does not look kindly on this non-believing, lying hypocrite."
"If Obama prayed it would be like a vampire going into the sunlight."
And finally, here's this little gem:
"He is trying to look moderate but his actions on his I WILL VETO the energy green gas load of crap of a bill and his ObamaCare moving on shows he is still the radical progressive marxist muslimatheist half black fake that he is."
Is that English? Are these people even making sense any more? We cats wonder. We also wonder if it will ever be possible to bridge the divides in this country. Sometimes we think yes. Other times — like today — we think, positively, definitely, no.
