The White House should not make statements in regards to any religious holidays.
Besides, the Bible says nothing about presidential statements being necessary for the faithful to faithfully observe their holy days.
How many Christians cried because they only got baskets from the Easter bunny but no official WH acknowledgment? Christians have got it SO tough in America these days.
Because you believed it without even ensuring that it was nothing more than propaganda. THAT is the difference, most people do not accept statements as truth and running with it before verifying that it actually is the truth, a simple google search would have solved that in seconds.

I still think it is a very sad time in our country! Will be until he is out of office.
I don't offer one single apology. In order to be a Christian, you have to hold a certain contempt for other religions. That's just the way it is. Otherwise, your God wouldn't be your God. That doesn't mean you have to blow up mosques or beat every muslim you see....in fact, quite the contrary. But it also doesn't mean that you have to portray your country and it's religious following as inferior when "bowing" down to Arab governments. Barack Obama doesn't represent Christian ideals in the least. One can be the leader of a secular country and still hold steadfast to Christian ideals when in the precense of others. Closet Christianity is not what Jesus had in mind. Barack Obama fails miserably, and he will answer for that.

Even Jimmy Carter didn't screw that up.
I find it weird that christians want Obama to be their leader....why? Like Repug presidential candidates, are decent christian leaders a little hard to find???
Do repug christian REALLY want more interference in their private lives by the government??? Totally weird....make up your minds!!!
Incorrect. Obama did not address the nation concerning Easter this year, like he did last year, and like every President has for the last 30+ years. Having breakfast in the White House is not even remotely similar to making a national speech.
Obama gave remarks on religious aspects of Easter that made national news. Do you think that it somehow "doesn't count" because he didn't devote one of those weekly YouTube addressed to it, or that he didn't give a primetime address to the nation?
You and Fox News are either wrong or totally dishonest.
Again.
"President Barack Obama Tuesday morning continues a Holy Week tradition that has helped him develop relationships with some of America’s most high-profile Christian leaders — an Easter Prayer Breakfast at the White House."

Oh wait a second the White House did put it on YouTube where literally anybody in the nation can watch it!
Traditionally, a national Easter address is made by the President during their weekly radio address (a tradition FDR started). Obama failed to keep that tradition this year. Only a complete idiot would deny that reality.
He then proceeded to attend Easter services at a predominantly black church headed by a racist pastor.
