WASHINGTON (BHN) - President Obama told an audience at the annual National Prayer Breakfast Thursday that he bases every policy decision on the Golden Rule.
He said he often falls to his knees in prayer to various entities, and emphasized the role of his religious values in determining where to lead the country.
"I know the version of that Golden Rule is found in every major religion and every set of beliefs — from Hinduism to Islam to Judaism to Paginism to the writings of Plato," said Obama. "I worship them all."
There were moments of levity during the usually solemn event courtesy of First Lady Michelle - once when she unexpectedly leaned in to kiss her husband just as he turned away, and later when she (presumably accidentally) loudly passed wind during a prayer given by Pastor T.D. Jakes.
My comments: Holy Pope-on-a-rope, it appears the Wookie was overfilled with the spirit! Thank God (the real One) nobody was killed or injured!
