A spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey confirmed this afternoon that the Marietta Republican walked out of President Barack Obama’s address at the annual National Prayer Breakfast, offended by what the congressman said was an injection of political rhetoric into an occasion of non-partisan reflection.

First of all, Gingrey has no problem when his party politicizes religion (which is an hourly and nationwide occurrence), so he’s a hypocrite. Second, Obama wasn’t politicizing religion. Third, this breakfast is highly inappropriate, sending a message that non-Christians are second-class citizens.
I agree with all three points.
