Obama is being criticized for not participating in National Prayer day yesterday, May 7, 2009, other than issuing a Presidential Proclamation.

One reason might be his administration was not allowed to go by the organizers.
“That's because the event organizers stipulated that the White House representative had to be opposed to abortion rights, according to this source.”
"The administration's representative had to be pro-life," says the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Nobody else was allowed to go."

Oh yeah, another reason, public prayer events such as this national prayer day, “meet at the pole to pray day” and other public prayer events are not Biblical, these people remind me of the Pharisees, they only do it to be thought of as righteous and to use it as a hammer on those who won’t do as they do. Just like when the Parisees accussed Jesus of violating the Sabbath.
”But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
Matthew 6:6
Kings James Version
