National Day of Prayer 2009
For eight years President George W. Bush honored the National Day of Prayer a formal White House event. In his first year in office, President Barack Obama decided to mark the day with a proclamation. A White House spokesperson commented, "President Obama is a committed Christian and believes that we should be engaging Americans of faith in efforts to renew our country. He is following the tradition of Presidents Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and others by signing a proclamation honoring the National Day of Prayer, while continuing to work with communities of faith to improve our country." Obama's decision to privately observe National Prayer day sparked controversy among various religious groups.FOXNews.com: Obama...Observe National Day of Prayer Privately Draws Criticism (May 7, 2009)US News: The White House on National Day of Prayer (May 1, 2009) -
