flying butresses on the white house.

"I fully understand that the job of the president is and must always be protecting the great right of people to worship or not worship as they see fit. That's what distinguishes us from the Taliban. The greatest freedom we have or one of the greatest freedoms is the right to worship the way you see fit. On the other hand, I don't see how you can be president at least from my perspective, how you can be president, without a relationship with the Lord."  - GWbush

Might be time to visit my little shop and pick up a bumper sticker:

It's a pretty obscure reference, but it should resonate with those that get it.

It's fine that he's christian, the point of contention here is that he says he doesn't think anyone of another religion should lead this country.

You go to school?

His point is that considering the responsibility and pressures of the office, he cannot understand how a person without a relationship with God could cope with those pressures and responsibilities....in other words, his faith helps him in the office.
