Bush's Speech at the National Cathedral

9/14/01 | George W. Bush

[syriacus]

I saw him deliver it on television. His words were on the mark. He spoke slowly and deliberately, but not hesitantly. It was very powerful. It was obvious that a good part of the audience was as moved as I was.

I watched the whole service and am glad I did.

Check out this article that I found through worldnetdaily.com in the Boston Herald. The site is www.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/ausprez09142001.htm

I am sorry that I do not know how to post the link. These two reprsentatives are unreal to critize Bush.Rep. Richard Neal said that Bush is bland. Rep. Meehan complains that he doesn't "buy the notion that Air Force One was a target." (both guys from MA)

Who do these people think they are?? I had never heard of them before.... Any idea what their email addresses are?

[the herald]

I thought Carter was truly affected by the service. I always thought he was that rarest of breeds...an honest liberal---wrong, but honest.

Thank you for this very Christian admission. I have friends and family who are wholly wrong in their Liberalism, and yet good and God-fearing and honest people. this is not the time for vilification of the Left, but a time to ignore the self-serving among us and focus on all that is Great in this Republic.

The Archbishop of Canturbury barred Queen Caroline, a notorious adulterer from her husband's coronation. Would that the authorities of some denomination, at least, would rise to the standards of the Arkansas bar, and forbid President Clinton entrance on ceremonial occaisions, save perhaps in appropriate attire, like sackcloth and ashes.

The footage of this speech is or will no doubt be available through C-Span.org.

Oh, my God. Please tell me you all saw him just now in New York. What a LEADER. Awesome sight, I'll never forget.

[Vinnie]

I heard the last half, it was wonderful, a prayer.

I sent this email

To whom it may concern: CNN

I wanted to protest your despicable coverage of the aftermath of the Memorial Service held at the National Cathedral today. I watched the last few minutes in an office that had your network on. Had I been able to control the channel selector yours surely would not have been.

At the close of the ceremony, your cameras stayed trained on the EX President, one Bill Clinton. Following him a full ten minutes.

He happens to be an EX has-been with no policymaking powers, thankfully.

Your obvious actions re-enforce your being called the Clinton News Network.

I try to stay apolitical around customers, but I couldn't control myself . Everyone in that room knows how I feel about clinton now.

Chains !

today we express our nation's sorrow. We come before God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who loved them.

On Tuesday, our country was attacked with deliberate and massive cruelty

READ:

Yesterday, we were shocked

Today, we mourn

Tommorow: We shall show no mercy.

The Lord has kept Billy Graham around for this day, IMHO. His sermon was vintage Graham. Simple, yet oh so timely and powerful.

I agree with you. Mr. Graham could probably convert the most anti-christian if you gave him time. He is a great man. What a sermon!!

[Snerdley]

hmm, seems the link to bush's video is missing from MSNBC's story. The text is there, and the video of the three preachers, but none of Bush. Perhaps it was too good for MSNBC to help destribute it to all americans?

Does anyone know where I can get an mpeg or avi format of the speach? I'd like to put it on my PPC for offline viewing and showing to co-workers.

I was struck, whilst watching this beautiful service, by the contrast between Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. Laura Bush has an inner beauty that shows in her face, and she obviously loves her husband. Hillary showed no trace of emotion or grief - the only expression on her face that I could detect was meanness. I think one thing that eats at her when she's near the Bushes is that they have something that she will never have, and she is deeply jealous.

Watching Bush speaking to the rescue workers now. I LOVE THIS MAN! He is wonderful. In this dreadful week he has truly become America's leader. He dwarfs Bubba, who had the gall to go to NY first and try(without success, apparently) to upstage him. What a toad.

[Husker8877]

My sentiments exactly. Thank God for giving us the right leader at the right time.

[Antoninus]

The speech was nothing less than brilliant. God bless President Bush. God bless America.

""""I just listened to the 3:30pm news headlines on WTOP, the all news radio station in Washington DC. They did not cover a SINGLE WORD of Bush's address. They only quoted Billy Graham and then remarks by Tom Daschle. OUTRAGEOUS!"""

Just curious- - is WTOP an ABC radio network affiliate? I notice that on Saturdays, ABC radio news always notes what the Democratic "Saturday radio address" said, but scarcely ever even mentions Bush's Saturday radio address.

[Ann Archy]

Bush was AWESOME!!! just AWESOME!!

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Who's Bill Clinton?

[Billie]

Oh, I believe he was affected by the ceremony - I think he probably basically has a good heart, but I lost a lot of respect for him when he criticized everything Bush has done earlier this year.

[Billie]

Happy to be of service. :^)

[kaycee]

I saw it, and when he finished, my first reaction was to think, "AMERICA... we have a PRESIDENT!"
