After the National Prayer Service President's Uchtdorf and Ballard said:
"We could feel the deep emotion around us — we were surrounded by people of all colors, of all creeds and of all languages," said President Uchtdorf in a phone interview with the Deseret News before catching a return flight to Utah. "It was a great experience we had — to see a unity there that I hope will last on and continue throughout the years of this administration."
"I left with a feeling that the people of America are going to unite behind this new president and his administration and that we need to pray for him," Elder Ballard said. "We need to exercise our prayers and help him accomplish the great objectives that he has set."
Saying "it was wonderful to feel that unity of different faiths" as they joined Muslims, Jews and others of different Christian denominations at the prayer service, President Uchtdorf added: "We felt we were in the right place with all these whom we call brothers and sisters, to pray for this presidency, for this administration, and with them to pray for all the governments around the world to bring again peace and prosperity and unity to all countries."

Finally! Hopefully this'll show members that Obama is not a bad guy at all, and that there's no reason to hate him.
I'm glad to see church leaders in DC! It's true, we do need to pray for our gov't leaders too and unite as one people to support them.
I don't think Obama is a bad guy nor do I hate him. (I just hate people that support him. J/K)
I don't think "members" hate him or think he is a "Bad" person. I'm sure their are some who do, but not the majority.
I do think many "members" disagree with his politics and vision for the country.
I for one hope he does a good job, but I do still disagree with some of the platforms he ran on. But I do want him to turn around the Econ, and bring peace to the world.
So hey, don't be a H8er
