President Obama spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5, as you know, and that speech unleashed considerable negative reaction-mostly from the same people that have criticized him for about everything he has said or done since 2009. Most of the criticism centered on remarks he made about Christianity in the context of talking about the Islamic State.
