Pray For Obama Billboard Gets Secret Service Attention

A Victoria, TX resident put up a billboard saying "Pray for Obama" and apparently the Secret Service is concerned about it. The words, "Pray for Obama" don't seem to be the issue but the reference to Psalms 109:8 which reads, "Let his days be few, and let another take his office" is drawing attention.

Here is the story about the Obama Billboard according to KENS5 News...

VICTORIA, Tx. -- The Secret Service is looking into a sign posted in Victoria, Texas.

The sign says "Pray for Obama", but it's the scripture quoted below those words that is raising eyebrows: Psalms 109:8.

Psalms 109:8 reads, "Let his days be few, and let another take his office."

Milton Neitsch Jr., who has lived in Victoria since 1961, says he didn't intend for people to pick up on the hateful wishes of death and pain surrounding the tiny verse.

But some people say it is hateful and inappropriate. They say it misuses the holy scripture and it must come down.

Neitsch recently received an email from a friend and decided to post it on his advertising billboard along North Navarro Street. He had no idea the firestorm of controversy it would create.

"Pray for the president. He needs it," said Neitsch.

When asked what the sign means, Neitsch responded, "Exactly what it says. Hope he's gone soon and somebody different takes his place."

Reverend Amy Danchik started a petition demanding Neitsch take down the sign. They've since met and Neitsch and agreed to replace the billboard.

"He shared with me a little about some of the threats that have come at his family, which is incredibly inappropriate, and in no way helpful and in no way how we're called to react when we disagree with somebody," said Danchik. "So I hope that those stop. I hope that people will react with the graciousness that he has reacted with and leave his family alone."

Neitsch says he is also getting plenty of support. He said he might replace the sign with something like, "Vote for the American", a sign that would no doubt stir emotion, while leaving the word of God to the experts.

****************************************************************

So the moral to the story seems to be that when it is a Democrat in office you are not allowed to pray or wish they were not.

Now, if it was a similar sign with reference to .... let's say Mr. Romney..... would the Secret Service or anyone be

quite so concerned? We think not.

On Nov. 6th, as voters we must make a crucial decision for the fate and destiny of this once great nation.

We must vote for the United States of America or Barack Hussein Obama, but you cannot have both.

Good luck, America.

Nothing secret about it, Obama needs to go and take his pitbulls with him. The entire outfit is corrupt. Secret Service are only as good as their leader, what does that tell you. The sign stays.

I also read this report previously and I agree. The sign should remain. In fact, I'd probably make it larger so I could add a few more Scriptures to it. There are so many that would apply it would be difficult to choose. One thing is for certain; our current president is an evil enemy of the United States and he's got to go this November.

My prayer is that every person that wants God's blessings on this nation again will do all he or she can to get to the polls and vote. Not just for the office of President, but for the Senate and House of Representatives as well. They need to be on the same page so the urgent things that need to get done, WILL get done, without stalemates and interference from the opposing side. Please encourage others to pay attention to the issues and honor our military, both past and present, by exercising the privileged right to vote that they have earned and sustained through their sacrifices.
