Even evangelicals should pray for President Barack Obama, Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) said at a gathering of religious conservatives on Friday.
"You know, I think we are called to pray. We are called to pray for our country, for our leaders, and yes, even our president," Perdue said during the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to the Majority conference in Washington. "You know, in his role as president, I think we should pray for Barack Obama."
But not just any prayer, he suggested, telling attendees that "we need to be very specific about how we pray."
"We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says. It says, ‘Let his days be few, and let another have his office,'" Perdue said, to laughter and applause. "In all seriousness, I believe that America is at a moment of crisis."

Verse 9 is as follows: "Let his children be fatherless. And his wife a widow."
It continues:
"Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places."
"Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor."
"Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children."
"Let his posterity be cut off, and in the generation following let their name be blotted out."
