WASHINGTON - President Bush said Thursday that America's history is inexorably tied to prayer.
"America is a nation of prayer. It's impossible to tell the story of our nation without telling the story of people who pray," Bush said during a White House celebration of the National Day of Prayer. "At decisive moments in our history and in quiet times around family tables, we are a people humbled and strengthened and blessed by prayer."
Bowing his head many times as Christian and Jewish leaders offered prayers, the president thanked those who pray for him, calling it the greatest gift a citizen can offer him.

Actually that's what I pray for, not too. ;)
You want to live in a theocracy, do you?
(In other words, how far beyond reason and American principles can your disdain for the President carry you??)
Maybe it would be an idea to include in school text books the contributions of praying people...just an idea.
For the record, I did not hit the abuse button on this. I just thought it was funny.
What I want to know is, do you guys get paid for who hijacks a thread first, and if so, who pays you?
In light of his dismal performance over the last couple years I'm sure Bush has inspired a fair share of prayer over the future of this country.

Don't you know it. He been causing me to pray alot lately. May God have mercy on us.
Oh........btw, welcome to Free Republic. Just yesterday, eh? How coincidental............
It is very, very dangerous to get your political views mixed in with the things of God, Stony. Be careful.
Head injury????
What, notice that he made a true statement? I noticed.
Which, forgive me for saying, always seems to get "deeper" when he runs into trouble with the "base". To paraphrase an old Elvis song: "A little less prayin' and a little more action"!
"I'm sure Bush has inspired a fair share of prayer over the future of this country"
Exactly. I'm all for prayer, but Bush needs to put his bible down and start enforcing the laws of this country. He took an oath to up hold the law and he has failed in that oath.
LOL
Critiquing a person's faith with false accusations reveals much about you, pawdoggie.
Another brand newbie here to pile on against the President.
Perhaps you should go back where you came from..........
Head up your arse?.......where you been?
I have defended Bush in the past, and still do for the most part. Not everyone agrees with everything any president does. I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but do not ask people to speak only what you want to hear. Prayer alone is not going to solve the problems facing this nation. He is our leader, not our religious leader. The Constitution is clear about separation of church and state. I however, do respect your view on this and other topics.
I never said anything remotely similar to this, VOAT.
As for your negative comments about the President as a man of God, you need to look at our past Presidents and see what they've said about faith. You sound like you've been listening to a very far leftist interpretation of the Constitution, and not reading what the document actually says (no surprise to me).
You might find it instructive as you seek to learn the truth about this country, and the leader God has given us to guide us through difficult days.
