Obama Trolls National Prayer Breakfast, Gets Expected Results

The gaffe of the week was not Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's rumination about the freedom not to be vaccinated. Reporters and conservatives now agree that Paul was ahead, but that President Barack Obama parachuted to the end of the finish line with his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. The president made "an unfortunate attempt at a wrongheaded moral comparison," according to the president of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. "Why on earth would you go to the National Prayer Breakfast with thousands of Christians from across the spectrum and insult them?" asked Rush Limbaugh.

What had Obama said? He'd tip-toed into a condemnation of Islamist terror organizations by saying that other great religions had been similarly twisted and abused.
