Obama picks gay bishop to wrap Easter Prayer Breakfast with invocation

When President Obama needed a preacher to fulfill the closing prayer duties at the annual White House Easter Prayer Breakfast, he turned to none other than the Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop — who said he was as shocked as anyone at the appointment.

The Right Rev. Gene Robinson said in a tweet, accompanied by a photo of Mr. Obama behind a podium at the event: "POTUS 'preaches' at the Easter prayer breakfast. Then, out of the blue, asks ME to close with prayer. OMG!"

Newsmax said he also emphasized that the words he chose to close the breakfast with were "totally off the cuff! OMG!"

The bishop, 66, retired from his New Hampshire diocese in 2013. He now spends time helping out the Washington Center for American Progress on gay rights issues, Newsmax reported.

Even though he's gay, Mr. Robinson once thought marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, Newsmax said. But he later changed his mind and began an open gay relationship with Peace Corps worker, Mark Andrew. The two made it legal in a civil union ceremony in 2008, Newsmax reported.

Obama is absolutely obsessed with homosexuality.

He needs counseling.....  **nononono*
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

He's rubbing their faces in it.

No different than sending the Oval Office 'Churchill' back to England.

Obama is a very nasty, vindictive bully.

Vicky Gene Robinson is almost single-handedly responsible for tearing apart the Episcopal Church in the United States.

And Barack Obama is equally responsible for tearing apart the entire United States.

A match made in Hades....

Obama says Pope Francis is a reminder of human dignity


It's not what he says, it's what he does.....that is his true character.
