As a Christian first, American citizen second, I found many of [Barack]
Obama's actions and words during his recent foreign trip to be troublesome, bordering on appalling. To outline a few of
the most egregious:
First, last Friday [Barack] Obama bowed to Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah. No President of the
United States has ever bowed before royalty. If it was a mistake of protocol, it is interesting to note that Mr. Obama did
not bow to the royalties of England whom he first met with, but later to an Arab monarch who is Muslim. Many take great umbrage
that [Barack Obama] representing the people of the United States of America would show obeisance to any royalty.
[Pray
Daily America comment: We fully reject Barack Obama words that "America is not a Christian nation" in Jesus'
name! Jesus Christ is Lord!]
Second, he stated while on tour in the Islamic nation of Turkey that America
is not a Christian nation, contradicting the belief of many of his predecessors and the writings of many founding fathers.
For
instance, Harry Truman, in a statement to Pope Pius XII in 1947, stated, "This is a Christian nation."
Woodrow
Wilson at a Denver rally in 1911, stated, "America was born a Christian nation".
Franklin D. Roosevelt described
the United States as "The lasting concord between men and nations, founded on the principles of Christianity" in
a mid-Atlantic summit with British Prime Minister Churchill before asking the crew of an American warship to join him in singing
the hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiers."
Abraham Lincoln, in his March 4, 1861 inaugural address, stated, "Intelligence,
patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to
adjust in the best way all our present difficulties."
Theodore Roosevelt stated in 1909, "I believe that the
next half century will determine if we will advance the cause of Christian civilization or revert to the horrors of brutal
paganism."
Third, [Barack] Obama, while at the G20 Summit, was invited by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to visit
the graves at the Normandy beaches, which are the final resting place of thousands of U.S. soldiers who died liberating Europe
during WWII. [Barack] Obama declined the invitation, but took the opportunity to visit a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey during
his stay there.
[Barack] Obama has yet to find a Christian church to attend in Washington, D.C. even though he promised
to do so after leaving the divisive controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church in Chicago.
[Barack] Obama needs
to be held accountable for his actions. His statements and his actions are offensive to many Christians in this country. The
Ohio Christian Alliance is calling upon its members to write and let [Barack] Obama know that his actions and words are offensive
to the Christian people of this nation.
America is a Christian nation, as attested by many Presidents. The message
that [Barack] Obama has managed to send is that [the majority] Christians and Jews are to move to the back of the Obama bus.
[That is not what God says. God says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12. America will
follow Christ. In fact, we choose Christ, who loves us and is Lord of all!]
