I picked this up this morning. The President is going to make some changes.
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.
Obama White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that the president is simply reverting back to pre-Bush administration practice

Dose this help to prove his comment that American is NOT a Christian nation?
Just my thought as I pass this way;

I don't believe it shows that we aren't a Christian nation - it just shows we aren't a Catholic nation, and that we can be recognized as a place for religious freedom and expression. It certainly allows our cause to go forward and not be hidden.
I don’t think I communicated very well!
My point was or is. Mr. Obama has labeled America as not a Christian Nation. Will the point that he is not participating in the Pray Breakfast help prove his point, from his point of view.
