President Bush has Done it Again

Well, President Bush has gone and done it again -- discussed God and Prayer, bet you thought I was going to rant about this. Nope, I think it is great; however, just waiting for those opposed, naysayer, the ones that say "freedom of religion" out of one side of their mouth and "the President expects a "theocracy"" out of the other side, to come out and attack President Bush for his openness about his belief that prayer is important... The below are excerpts from an article about the "National Prayer Breakfast":

"As a 13-year-old child, Veronica witnessed armed men killing children in horrific ways," he said. "As she fled this madness, Veronica was left for dead atop a pile of bodies, until her grandmother found her."
She was brought to Pennsylvania, where a Catholic charity found her a home and a job in a nursing home. She is studying to become a nursing assistant.
"When Veronica told me of her story, it was through the kind of tears no young woman should ever know," Mr. Bush said. "And when she finished, she dried her eyes and said, 'Thank you, Mr. President, for my freedom.'
"I told her it wasn't me she needed to thank; she needed to thank the good hearts of the United States of America. The America that embraced Veronica would not be possible without the prayer that drives and leads and sustains our armies of compassion." [complete article here]

How can anyone read these comments and question President Bush's love of his country? Further, before I the rhetoric starts about invoking the "need for prayer" and the "important of prayer" I want to know where I might find the rhetoric when Hillary Clinton made similar comments (read here).
