"But President Bush also knows how talking about such matters is suspect, for good reason: ... "I'm sometimes in a world of fakery, obfuscation [yes, he knows and can use big words], political bank shots, so I'm very mindful of the use of faith in this process." ... He says he's not concerned about how journalists judge him: "Short-term history will be written by people who didn't particularly want me to be president to begin with." ... He expresses a deeper concern: You "can't use your faith as a shallow attempt to garner votes. Otherwise you'll receive the ultimate condemnation."

Not bad for a dumb, incompetent cowboy, huh ? We should all be as well grounded as this man.

He wants to influence domestic culture. He spoke, as he has before, of his opposition to abortion and his desire to "promote a culture of life, [with] every child welcomed to life and protected by law." He spoke, as he has done recently, about his commitment to a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, but—as with abortion—cast himself in a supporting role: "People have to speak.... I'll be glad to lend my voice." Asked about the extent of the popular outcry so far, he said, "I'm not sure people understand the issue,"

Horrors that an American president would dare speak about morals, ethics, and values, but that's what I love about this man. He knows this sends the libs into vein popping apoplexy over the very thought they should be held responsible for their actions and lifestyles.
