Now he's PRAYING FOR US? Lordy help us all.

"In the life of our nation, we have seen that wondrous things are possible when we act with God's grace," Bush said in his weekly radio address. "From the rubble of destroyed homes we can see the beginnings of vibrant new neighborhoods. From the despair of lives torn asunder we can see the hope of rebirth. And from the depth of darkness we can see a bright dawn emerging over the Gulf Coast and the great city of New Orleans."
...
He often speaks easily of the strength that his faith provides him and talks humbly of his place before God. When big moments require big rhetoric, the famously plainspoken Bush seems the most comfortable with soaring language that is tinged with religious overtones.

So on Saturday, as in Friday's brief remarks at a national prayer service at the National Cathedral, Bush asked on behalf of the nation for God's healing and help.

"We ask God's comfort for the men and women who have suffered so much," he said. "We pray that the missing find safe return, and those who were lost find holy rest. And we sought the strength of the Almighty for the difficult work that lies ahead."

It really makes me feel creepy that THIS GUY is PRAYING on our behalf.

1. No thank you Chimp, let me talk to God on my own

I do not need your NON Christian voice to speak for me ever!

[damntexdem]

2. No, you misheard. He's not praying for us; ...

he's preying on us.

[FM Arouet666]

3. I think he went on to ask.....

Gawd, please silence those evil democrats who wish to tell the truth about Iraq, Katrina, the budget, the loss of civil liberties and the greed of corporate America. I know, dear Lard, that republican truth is the only true and pure truth there is, your truth. And you know, Lard, Dick Cheney is getting kind of old, and may get taken to heaven with this up coming very risky surgery, and if you do take him, O Lard, please send your son to take his place. Please make him white, and rich, perhaps send him to a family who is connected to Halliburton. We praise you O Lard, let your wisdom, and power, and financial backing be ours.

Amen

4. Guess that's why he decided to

not do a DAMN thing for NOLA! The Almighty will go ahead and bring comfort and aid.

Is he for real? Is he seriously that delusional?

[TheStates]

5. Uhh....No offense *Chimpstuck, your god isn't my god....

I don't bow or worship satan I'm afraid.....I don't care for the fundies hypocritical madeup god.

The real god is angry, very angry with the nation's lies and its destruction upon the world which it has created. The United States has become enemy of the world, almost enemy number 1.

Our grace period is over. Global Warming is speeding up.

[Why Syzygy]

10. Almost?

who would be number one if George W. Bush's America is not it???

I pray. For the redemption of the blood thirsty and money grabbers.

On the other hand, Jesus, according to the BB, went nuts and turned tables over and whipped people with a lash. Right?

Is that ever going to happen again?

[Double T]

6. Preacher bush should quit preaching to absolve himself.....

of his gross negligence in getting HELP to the people and animals in the Gulf Coast Disaster. bush is an absolute hypocrite and his phony fundie faith doesn't cut it with many of us.

[hardrainfallin]

7. I wouldn't worry about it too much, I'm sure "God" has long since

quit listening to ANYTHING **** has to say.

Even "God"'s patience has a limit!

[Why Syzygy]

8. It seems to me upon somewhat rational reflection

that this is another plastic turkey. A show.

If he ever prayed, he better start now. Because his hand is exposed.

[DanCa]

9. Does Bush and Charlie Manson Pray to the same entity?

Alls I know is that my jesus would never tell anyone to kill people, bomb unarmed countries, endager the lives of woman and make gblt people feel like second class citezens. I dont know what sick freak that w prays too but it aint jesus christ.

[Why Syzygy]

11. Thank You.

It must be the same guy Pat Robertson prays to.

Who that is? I have no idea.

[symbolman]

12. I pray that everyone

gets what's coming to them :)

Dear George, you might start to wonder about GOd at this point - how can he answer YOUR prayers when he did nothing about the 10 thousand or so people PRAYING THAT HELP WOULD SAVE THEIR LIVES in New Orleans as YOU ate cake and pretended to play guitar.

Enjoy your stay in hell.

[Arugula Latte]

13. So why did this so-called "god" send Katrina in the first place?

Ya never hear these people talk about what an asshole their sky diety is to millions of suffering people upon the Earth.

[Why Syzygy]

16. kick

Oh but that's because people are "bad", doncha know?

Now who is the "creator" that made "bad" people?
The one who punishes of course.

See? It all works out. As long as you don't engage your brain.

[Arugula Latte]

17. Ah, yes. That's the missing piece.

I forgot to shut off all logic and rationality. Thanks! :hi:

[JohnyCanuck]

14. I wonder why

the God that had previously talked to Dubya and told him to take out Saddam apparently couldn't be bothered to give him a heads up on Katrina and tip him off that he should get his lazy ass in gear and make sure Brownie was on top of things and ready to handle the aftermath.

[Why Syzygy]

15. I think it's called

a blind guidance system.

WHATEVER you do! Don't open your eyes!

Is this Georgie's joy ride? Seems so. Hang on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen.
