QUOTE OF THE DAY:

THE PRESIDENT: You know, I've just -- Laura and I just had the great joy and privilege of worshiping here in Beijing, China. You know, it just goes to show that God is universal, and God is love, and no state, man or woman should fear the influence of loving religion.

And I want to thank the pastor for his hospitality. And I want to thank this beautiful choir for singing Amazing Grace and Edelweiss. It was a touching moment. It's been a joy to worship here. Again, I want to thank you, sir, and God bless you. God bless you.

No! I was just ticked that you got in before I did. It’s a typical ‘I didn’t get first place’ post from me.

Laura looks as beautiful as always. Thank goodness President Bush is all right. He could have been injured.

It is an awesome statement for President Bush to so publicly worship at a Christian church while in China.

It is a vital challenge to the ongoing persecution of Christians worldwide.

It is sad that so many Americans do not take a more positive view of this great President.
