Critics blast Bush for not praying hard enough
WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush, already facing the lowest approval ratings in history, is coming under fire from former supporters over what they call his "ineffectual and incompetent" use of prayer for national guidance and assistance.

Every time the president is criticized, he insists that the nation is in his prayers," said the Family Research Council's Bob Jensen. "That may be, but it's becoming more and more clear that these prayers are either too infrequent, too brief, or not strongly worded enough to be effective."

Jensen added: "This nation deserves more than a president who just pays lip service to prayer. It deserves a president who demands that his prayers get real-world results."http://

2. Too busy fundraising or giving policy speeches to pre-screened audiences.
Bush has put God on the back burner.:dilemma:

3. Hehe
you gotta love the fact that Bush is now getting slammed by his base...the foundation is crumbling and Rome is falling. I just hope it doesn't crush us in the process.
