Sounding more like the Pharisees Jesus used to expose for their hypocrisy, than the Christian he professes to be, Barack Obama chose the occasion of an Easter Breakfast on Tuesday to criticize the “less than loving” behavior of some fellow Christians.
 
In a veiled reference to those in Indiana and Arkansas fighting for a right they thought was already granted to them in the Constitution, the president expressed “concern.” By implication, he judges a Christian baker as “unloving” for not wanting to endorse sinful behavior ~

“On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love. And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less than loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned,” he quipped, smiling as laughter and applause rang out from the crowd.

Painful as it may be, the arrogant, lecturing tone in his voice is much easier to detect by actually listening to him speak ~
 

 
Steven Crowder weighed in on the president’s sanctimonious rhetoric ~

This is an example of compulsive anti-Christian behavior. One has to ask themselves, if he feels the need to condemn Christians within this context, how do you think he speaks of them behind closed doors? When there are none around? Perhaps when he’s surrounded by world-leaders who would like nothing more than to see us exterminated. Do you think he’ll all of a sudden decide to grow a pair and stand arm-in arm with his Christian brethren? Or maybe, just maybe, his true colors really get to shine […]
 
Let me summarize this: This president not only goes against Christian principles on a regular basis with his policy, not only is the only man in the history of our country to support infanticide to the level that he has, not only has turned his back on Christians’ greatest ally in Israel, not only has buddied up with and bowed to, leaders of rabidly anti-Christian nations… but President Obama even felt compelled to take a jab at Christians, at a prayer breakfast, on Easter.

During his remarks on Tuesday,

… the president thanked the pastors and Christian leaders from different Christian traditions across the nation for their prayers because he says he needs them, especially now.

Yes. Let us all continue to pray daily… for his conversion; so that religious freedom, for which so many courageous Americans fought, sacrificed and died for, will not be denied future generations.

 
In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed… No truth is more evident to my mind that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.
