Obama Snubs Christians: Omits Easter Sunday Proclamation




Obama Snubs Christians: Omits Easter Sunday Proclamation

Yeah, I noticed that on Friday, Obama had released a statement recognizing Earth Day, but not Good Friday.  I figured he might have just been busy campaigning and accidentally overlooked Good Friday (okay, I didn't really think that, but I'm sure that would have been his excuse if he would have been called on it).  However, I don't care what excuse Obama pulls out of his backside for omitting Easter Sunday; THERE IS NO EXCUSE!  

The only way a supposed Christian President forgets about Easter is if he/she does it on purpose!

You need to tell EVERY Christian you know about this!   This guy is NOT a Christian!

WH Fails to Release Easter Proclamation

President Obama failed to release a statement or a proclamation recognizing the national observance of Easter Sunday, Christianity's most sacred holiday.

By comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha.

The White House also failed to release a statement marking Good Friday. However, they did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day. Likewise, the president's weekend address mentioned neither Good Friday or Easter.

In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian.

"All of us are striving to make a way in this world; to build a purposeful and fulfilling life in the fleeting time we have here," Obama said in his 2010 "Easter" message. "A dignified life. A healthy life. A life, true to its potential. And a life that serves other." "These are aspirations that stretch back through the ages – aspirations at the heart of Judaism, at the heart of Christianity, at the heart of all the world's great religions," the president added.

When the White House released statements about Muslim holidays, no attempts were made to include Christianity or to mention a spirit of inclusivity. For example, in his 2010 statement on Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha, Obama made no references to Christianity or any other religion.
