James Dobson Donald Trump

Dobson publicly criticized statements made by U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama in Obama’s 2006 “Call to Renewal” address on June 24, 2008. He said that Obama was manipulating the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own world view. On October 23, 2008, Dobson wrote a Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America that initiated that an Obama presidency could lead to:

Mandated homosexual teachings across all schools;
the banning of firearms in entire states; the end of the Boy Scouts,
Home schooling,
Christian school groups,
Christian adoption agencies, and talk radio; pornography on prime-time and daytime television;
Mandatory bonuses for gay soldiers; terrorist attacks across America; the nuclear bombing of Tel Aviv;
The conquering of most of Eastern Europe by Russia;
The end of health care for Americans over 80;
Out-of-control gasoline prices;
Complete economic disaster in the United States and among other catastrophes.

Few days after the 2008 presidential election, Dobson reported on his radio program that he was mourning the Obama election, claiming that Obama supported infanticide, would be responsible for the deaths of millions of unborn children, and was going to appoint the most liberal justices to the Supreme Court, perhaps, that we’ve ever had.

During a National Day of Prayer event in the U.S. Capitol, Dobson refered Barack Obama as the abortion president. Dobson reported that President Obama, before he was elected he made it very clear that he wanted to be the abortion president and he didn’t make any bones about it. He also continued saying that OBama he really was going to promote and support, and he has done that, and in a sense he is the abortion president. Many people complained by what Dobson said claming that Dobson used the National Day of Prayer for Partisan purposes among them was Rep. Janice Hahn.
