I have a question: If God is so close to President Bush, wouldn't you expect a few blessings, or at least some benefits above what other presidents have provided? I would think there might be fewer hurricanes, major fires, drought, floods, tornadoes, terror attacks and wars that need U.S. involvement than happened under other presidents.

I would have maybe expected a gentle whisper in Bush's ear to pay special attention to the President's daily briefing that said “Bin Laden determined to attack inside the U.S.” I would at least expect America to be more beloved around the world because of inspired leadership.

Maybe I expect too much, but I hope people who are projecting religious devotion on Bush will please give serious thought to whether it is truly justified.
