Obama canceled the National Day of Prayer

No Rush, absolutely not, President Obama DID NOT CANCEL THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.

Any person or group has the right to pray on Capitol Hill. Prayer is not prohibited in the public arena. Prayer is only prohibited where there is a captive audience, like in public schools, sports arenas, etc.

In case you haven't turned to the AM radio band, there's plenty of praying being broadcast there.

I am not the one who mentioned Obama NOT canceling the National Day of Prayer but, even so, YOU ARE WRONG. He did not cancel it; he kept his own observances private.

And Congress routinely opens its sessions with a public prayer.
While I find that to be offensive to the Constitution, it does happen routinely.
Like I said, stop guessing (wrong) and watch C-SPAN.

Obama did not cancel the Nat'l Day of Prayer. He did cancel the traditonal White House Ceremony and instead issued a paper proclamation.

So why did you claim he canceled it if you knew he didn't? Were you being dishonest?

He was correct to cancel the traditional White house Ceremony.
He is the Commander in Chief. He's not the Chief Priest, Chief Minister, or Chief Rabbi.
