This is a step in the right direction.

Task Force Chairman Shirley Dobson said in a statement that she was disappointed in the “lack of participation” by the Obama administration, adding that “at this time in our country’s history, we would hope our President would recognize more fully the importance of prayer.”

Dobson will be a presenter at that event, along with her husband and former president of Focus on the Family James Dobson, author Beth Moore, NFL player Shaun Alexander and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann.

Wait a minute! James Dobson?…. The guy from Focus on the Family? The pandering, homophobic, fear mongering leader of a ultra conservative cult? Dobson who attacked  Ed Perlmutter, running in Colorado’s 7th district, for hiring — get this — gay staffers. That James Dobson???

Can you imagine the braying of the Dobson types if the White House decided to take part in a national Pagan Day of Naked Dancing? Animal sacrifice is popular in some religions, lets have the President slaughter a goat for yahweh. How about a national day of flagellation?
