How do you feel about the way President Obama is handling this issue? Do you agree or disagree with his views to tone it down on this occassion?

Sadly, while I am Catholic, I've never really taken notice of National Prayer Day. I'll try to do something for it this year.
Obama's toning it down, which is saddening, but he's not cutting completely so I can't really complain.
