The Cybercast News Service website reports today (August 27, 2011) that a Christian minister led a small band of demonstrators in front of the White House on August 25 to call on President Obama to remember the poor and needy while he is on his $50,000-a-week vacation on Martha's Vineyard.
The Rev. Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition said, "We set up -- especially this week -- because the president has chosen, in these difficult times, to spend 10 days in one of the most lavish and exclusive places in the world in Martha's Vineyard.
Mahoney also said President Obama's track record shows that he "has completely ignored the poor."
The event was called "The Matthew 25 Project," Mahoney said because it is based on Christ's words in Matthew 25:40 where He says, "Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me."
