GOP Congressman Walks Out During Obama’s National Prayer Breakfast Speech
GOP Congressman Walks Out During Obama’s National Prayer Breakfast Speech « CBS Atlanta
ATLANTA (CBS Atlanta) — A Republican Georgia congressman walked out during President Obama’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday.
Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., left during Obama’s speech because “he was disturbed and offended by the president’s use of prayer and reflection time for partisan politics and class warfare.
“Rep. Gingrey found the breakfast to be inspiring until President Obama began politicking, which the congressman found to be inappropriate,” Jen Talaber, spokeswoman for Rep. Gingrey, told CBS Atlanta. “While he commends the president for his attendance, Rep. Gingrey wanted to hear what was in his heart and not campaign rhetoric.”
During the National Prayer Breakfast speech, the president compared his economic policies to the teachings of Jesus.
“And I think to myself, if I’m willing to give something up as somebody who’s been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that’s going to make economic sense,” the president said. “But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required.’”
Talaber told CBS Atlanta that these types of political comments during a prayer breakfast “disappointed” the congressman.
“There are 364 other days a year in which to do that.”
Gingrey has thrown his support behind Newt Gingrich during the GOP primaries.

Sounds like he didn't want to be reminded of the teachings of his faith.

Just one more reason why religion and politics shouldn't be mixed.

These corporatist are degenerating christianity. If there are any true republicans out there, who believe in family and christian values, then they should distance themselves from these corporatists. Money comes and goes, but if you let your principal degenerate, then it will affect not only you but also future generations. These corporatists are everything how christians should not be.

I don't know of anywhere where Jesus said the government should tax its citizens to help the poor. I believe most of those teachings were to individuals or churches. Of course, separation of church and state is another issue. Originally Posted by Zaphod

I just thought it was something that should be pointed out since it seems most people can't fathom the idea that what is moral and what is legal shouldn't always be the same thing. Originally Posted by Zaphod

Nothing less is expected from a good ole boy from georgia reacting to a black man. And then unproperly citing religion for his reasons..yeah right!
It was the goddamn national prayer breakfast for god sakes.
You wanted the rob, steal and hate breakfast and then add on jesus says so.The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
