This thread is just another outrageous appeal to White racial animus. How naive of me to think the actual real words, and genuinely hopeful & faith filled message spoken in remarks by President Biden, at the National Prayer Breakfast, would matter.
Pense gave many real and hopeful faith filled messages and you all mocked him - hypocrisy at it's finest again!
Good grief. Biden really should stop speaking publicly and just go back to the basement. He's really embarrassing. I did get a chuckle from one of the comments in that link posted (the prayer breakfast). Someone wrote, "Joe Biden is the media's favorite racist." I don't know if Joe realizes what he says anymore and how cringe-worthy it is.
And there it is again. Are you aware that abortion was supported by the Southern Baptist Convention until a group of people decided to creat a wedge issue in order to win elections?
What did Jesus say about abortion?
It's not even worth my energy to argue with you.
I'll follow my own conscience and could give a rip about what the Southern Baptist Convention did or didn't do

My impression of the speech and event --- that I viewed in its entirety---is completely different from the one which you and Breitbart present.
“As I stand in this citadel of democracy, the issue for all of us is unity,” Biden told the crowd of lawmakers, faith leaders and others in Washington at the U.S. Capitol.
"How do we unite us again?” Biden said. “Unity is elusive, but it’s really actually necessary. Unity doesn’t mean we have to agree on everything, but unity is where enough of us, enough of us, believe in a core of basic things.”
The National Prayer Breakfast is a Washington tradition where politicians would set aside their partisan differences and find commonalities in their faiths. Because of the pandemic it was virtual last year, in Biden's first year as POTUS. Unfortunately, in the Trump years the president used it as a partisan & personal platform that tarnished this special gathering. Trump, at several prior prayer breakfasts, questioned the faith of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Catholic, and Sen. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, due to differing political opinions. At his first prayer breakfast in 2017, Trump asked the crowd to “Pray for Arnold Schwarzenegger to get better ratings on The Apprentice, since he will never beat mine. Although the Emmys were always rigged and they stole mine from me many times, many many times."
This year was a positive reset, with the breakfast returning to its roots as an event to showcase unity and tradition. Breitbart probably won't report on many of the points Biden made in his speech by a president known for deep religious faith and belief in the civility and necessity of being able to work together in government. He lamented the erosion of civility in the Senate and gave some examples about a time when senators still dined together even when they disagreed on issues like segregation. "We had a lot of flat-out old segregationists still in our caucus. Didn’t agree with one another, but they treated each other with respect, even in those troubled days. We got things done. We can get things done again."
After Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and Senate Minority Leader McConnell---standing side by side---had given readings from the Old and New Testaments, President Biden lavished warm praise on McConnell, who has repeatedly attacked the president’s and Democrats’ agenda.
“Mitch, I don’t want to hurt your reputation, but we really are friends,” Biden said. “You’ve always done exactly what you’ve said. You’re a man of your word, and you’re a man of honor.”
At another point Biden recalled the horror last month, when a gunman took four worshipers hostage at a synagogue in Texas: “violence and vengeance didn’t pierce the goodness and grace of that scene.” He talked about a nearby Catholic Church that had opened its doors for the hostages’ families, and that at sunset, a group of Muslim women walked in with one of the favorite foods of the rabbi who had been taken hostage.
“It was interesting to hear the rabbi describe the scene and how faith mattered,” Biden said. “Whether in a synagogue or a church or a mosque or a temple, whether you’re religious or not, we’re all imperfect human beings trying our best, the best we can because we can’t know the future. We can’t know what’s coming. We also can’t live in fear every step of the way. That’s America.”
Biden spoke about the country living in “a moment of great division” and warned that “democracy is at grave, grave risk.”
“We pray for our nation as we face an inflection point in our history. So much is going to change no matter who’s sitting in my job. The world is changing. The world is changing. I pray that we follow what Jesus taught us: to serve rather than be served. I don’t always do it. I hope I try … I pray to keep the faith.”
I heard a speech from a good man with hope for and faith in America.
Peace & health to all.
Joe Biden has never been considered a good man, he has been crooked and corrupt his entire life and came into the presidency with a forty plus year track record as a complete failure, he has never accomplished one good thing, other than becoming the worlds best known pedophile.
His hope for and faith in America is to destroy everything decent about America, bring her to her knees do everything in his power to make sure we become a one party system, socialism and communist to follow soon behind. He is a puppet and highly paid employee of the communist government.
You can't possible have any idea who Brandon Biden is and still post the nonsense you posted...
Where was this talk of unity when Trump was the President? Because of the left’s mistreatment of the former President, there will be no unity, not ever. So Biden should quit asking for it. It just sounds disingenuous when he says it.
Do you think that’s a mature, adult attitude ?
Trump isn’t your father, brother, son, cousin, father-in-law, personal friend, etc.
There’s no reason to take criticism of nor treatment of Trump personally.
Trump is a big boy, and can pull up his own big boy pants.
Is this Jen Psaki? Biden's not a good man. He supports abortion for one thing. And he's a habitual liar for another.
The same thing could be said about those of you who want to restrict a woman’s control over her own body. It’s a never ending argument with the condemnation that will never end on both sides of that particular issue.
I probably dislike Biden almost as much as you do, but it has nothing to do with abortion.
It’s one issue, the only one I can think of off the top of my head, where I agree with him on the subject (not with him on the legal process through).

OK, you support killing of babies. Your position is crystal clear as is mine.
So unnecessary when you can use birth control.
Oh man, I could only imagine how much negative coverage this would receive in the news had it been a Republican who told this story and not senile old dementia-ridden Joe Biden.
I agree with you that we are responsible for our own actions. I’m not sure we necessarily disagree, but maybe we’re talking about slightly different points. If our president stands up to give a speech, if he calls on Americans to start treating each other with more respect, then that sentiment should be echoed by those he leads - starting with his own party showing they mean it by their actions. I haven’t seen it. Trump was divisive in his speech, unequivocally. Joe less so, but his words ring hollow right now, particularly after what he has been saying for the past year.
I have a huge problem with the way he has handled the pandemic and his comments about those of us who have chosen not to vaccinate. He has expressed his ‘impatience’, suggesting that we’re recalcitrant children, unable to make adult decisions. There has been derision, condescension, anger... those words only make it more acceptable for individuals to repeat those words and treat people accordingly. He has called people “dog-faced pony soldiers” on the less offensive end of the spectrum, and, well, we heard his hot mic moment.
He wants unity, he needs to start showing it. He needs to convince those who elected him to start showing it. We can choose individually to try and be better, but our division doesn’t start to heal with our leader picking at the scabs.
I suspect we agree. You are correct that no POTUS should deride or trivialize American citizens. And, IMO, people have legitimate concerns regarding the Covid semi vaccines.
We have seen throughout the past year Biden has little control over the elected in his party. I'm expecting a revolt any day now. And the democrats from blue dogs to the very liberal progressives are as split as they have ever been.
Upon thinking about your comments, you are right I concede. Biden could do a lot better. Now I will confess even before the Clarence Thomas hearings I thought he was an opportunist. He gets little attention from me. I will be more aware of his comments.
On the whole it seems Americans expect a great deal from the POTUS. He is supposed to direct everything from military strategy to being aware of and supervising every federal employee. Add in the medical needs including international, economy, environment and the long range planning and I'm beginning to think it's too much for anybody.
