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.

However, the First Family did attend an Easter Sunday worship service at a Baptist church and last week, the president hosted an Easter breakfast for Christian ministers. In that gathering, the president spoke openly about the Christian faith.

Thanks for posting this. I was going to do it but all I had was a blog site.
 
Um, who cares? It doesn’t affect us one bit

I don’t even think the conservative PM of Canada issued an Easter Proclamation. Correct me if I’m wrong please
 
I don’t see that as a requirement in the Constitution. And if he had done so, a number of people would have accused him of faking it to cover up “being a Muslim.”

It’s a pattern of behavior. That’s the problem.

Bush 43 issued a written “Presidential Message” on Easter every year of his presidency.

News agencies are using the term proclamation incorrectly. Proclamations are generally not used for holiday purposes. This error allows the White House or other liberal new agencies to deceptively claim that Bush didn’t issue an Easter proclamation.

Link to Bush’s 2008 message:

Fuel to the fire.

I say-they’re keeping us occupied “over there.”

Watch both hands.

God Bless you.

Well, I guess that settles it, Obama is a Muslim, and therefore evil. :rolleyes:
 
Hasn’t this been a tradition for like every single other President in United States’ history? If so, doesn’t this just say numerous things about Obama’s Presidency? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I really don’t like Obama. Even if I was a progressive or liberal person, I couldn’t like him. And no, I am not racist. I am one of the palest but least racist people you will ever meet.

Apparently, that doesn’t matter on this board. If you speak out against obama and his regime you are a racist, a bigot, wacko, etc. The truth is you are probably alright.

No. President G. W. Bush was the first. President Obama is following the precedent set by President Reagan in not issuing an Easter Proclamation.

I’m starting to have serious doubts actually after his non-proclamation of Easter. It isn’t that Reagan didn’t do it as well, it’s that Obama released statements regarding Muslim holidays.

From the article:

I was actually debating a co-worker of mine a few months back saying that he isn’t a secret Muslim. I’m not there yet, but the evidence is mounting for this observer.

The greetings to Muslims would appear to be mere politics. Afterall, he’s trying to make inroads into the Muslims’ hearts and minds. Christians, generally, don’t consider the USA their mortal enemy so there’s no need to go above and beyond to try and win us over…

If nobody did it till GHW Bush, how could Reagan have set a precedent?
