“I so subscribe to his notion that there are — there’s right and wrong in life, that moral relativism has a danger of undermining the capacity to have more hopeful and free societies, that I want to honor his convictions, as well.”

One thing I’ve always respected about the Prez is comments like this!

Q When you look into Benedict XVI’s eyes what do you see?

THE PRESIDENT: God.

WOW!!!!!

Given the choices I had for POTUS I am very sad at this point that I voted twice for Bush.

He is printing more money which results in the value of the dollar going down, thus causing inflation.

He signed McCain/Feingold into law.

And now he is onboard with this GOREbal warming crap.

Our country is in for some very dark times as these Socialist Republicans steal the proceeds of our hard work!

THE PRESIDENT: Well, it's a combination of faith and practicality. From the practical perspective, hopelessness is the only way for ideologues who murder the innocent to be able to recruit their followers. No one who's got a vision as dark and dim as al Qaeda can possibly say to somebody, follow me, my vision is hopeful or positive. Its like, you're so hopeless, this is your only out. And therefore, dealing with disease and hunger and despair helps defeat this -- these bunch of ideologues.

I don't think despair is the *only* way Al Qaeda recruits. Were not most or all of the 9-11 terrorists quite well off, especially by the local standards of their countries?

Faith is a two edged sword. The Pope seems to understand that, but I fear our President does not, being still hung up on the "Religon of Peace" view of the "Religion of Submission".
