There is a sickness in the White House and it needs a toilet brush and a double flush.

Have you actually read the full transcript of the pray breakfast speech? It doesn't seem like you have.

wake me up when 'prayer breakfasts' aren't a thing for government anymore.

I'm surprised the motley crew is not all up in arms for this blatant disregard to the First Amendment...

it's disgusting that any politician should have to effectively 'prove' they are a member or follower of a certain religion in this country. but then it's also disgusting that it's 2015 and this country couldn't handle an atheist president, let alone handle a christian president with ties to islam. government leaders should be focusing on government function and leave religious leaders to religious function, i don't honestly know what benefit a prayer breakfast has except for show. look at us, we're getting along and praying and look! breakfast too!

Well duh, we are one nation under God.

And all this happening in a secular nation...

I'm afraid one of these days the rest of the world might think we're hypocrites... But we can always pray that won't happen, because we all know that prayer is so powerful, right?....
