On Tuesday morning, the President hosted the White House's 2nd annual Easter Prayer Breakfast in the East Room. Christian clergy and leaders from around the country were in attendance. In his remarks (full text included in White House Release), Obama said in part:
I wanted to host this breakfast for a simple reason -– because as busy as we are, as many tasks as pile up, during this season, we are reminded that there’s something about the resurrection -- something about the resurrection of our savior, Jesus Christ, that puts everything else in perspective.
