Obama: No White House National Day of Prayer Observance



CITIZENLINK -- Breaking tradition with President George W. Bush, the Obama administration has announced there will not be a White House observance for the National Day of Prayer this year. “We are disappointed in the lack of participation by the Obama administration," said Mrs. Shirley Dobson, chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force. "At this time in our country’s history, we would hope our president would recognize more fully the importance of prayer.” The White House has indicated it will release a proclamation recognizing the National Day of Prayer on Thursday.
