Bush and Prayer
Talk about motivating the base. Bush sat down for an interview with Melissa Charbonneau of the Christian Broadcasting Network yesterday.
Charbonneau: "What’s your prayer for the nation?"
Bush: "My prayer is for peace. My prayer is that this world be peaceful, so children can grow up understanding the benefits of freedom.
"Let me just say something about prayer. I have been deeply affected by the fact that people from all walks of life pray for me and my family. It has served as a great source of strength and comfort, and I thank our fellow citizens for those prayers. They don’t need to do that, but they do. I am amazed when I work rope lines. . . . People are there, it’s like they’ve come to say ‘I’ve come to let you know I’m praying for you, Mr. President, I’m lifting you and your family up in prayer.’
"And my answer to them is: That is the greatest gift you can give a president. And I thank people for that. It’s made an enormous difference in my life as the president. . . .
"It’s an amazing country, you know? When you’ve got total strangers praying for a guy like me. It really is. I think it makes us very unique as a nation, and I embrace it."
This is the part that kills me. It’s like his trip to Bobby Jones University in 2000. I actually pray that the Christians are on to him now.
