President Bush was the first president to use a Bible verse on the White House Christmas card.

Thank you for repeating that. I saw on another thread that the phrase "first time" was being wrongly interpreted as applying to this year's card, when it is as you say--that last year was the first emanating from the WH (figuratively, for the nit-pickers) and not the first time GWB and Laura have issued a card with a Bible verse before their tenure in Washington, D.C.

I am SO glad I am not a glass-half-full type of person. I think they are always unhappy.

This is sweet. The religious crowd can't stand the guy lives it and doesn't have to prove he's a Christian by advertising it to the masses (no pun intended). If people are going to judge this man and his wife by the card they send at Christmas, I say let's see what's in their (glass) house. Seems the Messiah chastised the ones who held to traditions of men. And requiring some sort of certain card be sent seems to be a tradition (requirement) imposed by men, not God, IMO. What a crappy thread this is.
