Obama to be prayer day no-show
President Obama is distancing himself from the National Day of Prayer by nixing a formal early morning service and not attending a large Catholic prayer breakfast the next morning.
All Mr. Obama will do for the National Day of Prayer, which is Thursday, is sign a proclamation honoring the day, which originated in 1952 when Congress set aside the first Thursday in May for the observance.
For the past eight years, President George W. Bush invited selected Christian and Jewish leaders to the White House East Room, where he typically would give a short speech and several leaders offered prayers.
*snip*
Some evangelicals said they were not surprised by Mr. Obama's decision.
"For those of us who have our doubts about Obama's faith, no, we did not expect him to have the service," said Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America. "But as president, he should put his own lack of faith aside and live up to the office."
Uncle Eg0 hasn't found a church yet either.

0Bama is just giving us more of that "change" from President Bush. Besides it might interfere with his time of praying towards Mecca.

Actually, he did, at least to keep up appearances. Some Baptist church, IIRC.
Not that it matters. He knows at the rate he's going he doesn't have a prayer of getting reelected.
