White House Hosts Islamic Holy Month Dinner
And so it goes...

Richard's $.02

President Obama is hosting a dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Obama was also to highlight the contributions of American Muslims at the Tuesday evening event in the State Dining Room.

The guest list included Cabinet secretaries, members of Congress, ambassadors from Islamic nations and Muslim community leaders.

Ramadan, a month-long period of prayer, reflection and sunrise-to-sunset fasts, began Aug. 22 in most of the Islamic world.

White House dinners marking the holy month are nothing new.

During his eight years in office, former President George W. Bush held an iftar, the meal that breaks the daily fast during Ramadan.

Easter
Didn't he do something similar for Easter?

I just can't remember reading anything about it.

He did pick a church though - that one outside Camp David. I think they were told not expect to see him much.

Ooopps, should I have used pink Richard?

LOL - only if you were being sarcastic or writing in support of the Run for the Cure!
