What did Rather, Jennings etc. say about the speech?
Everyone, this is honestly a FANTASTIC excerpt.....read it and put it up on your desktops (notice he did not say "a god", but THE GOD)!!!!! What a BREATHTAKING speech:
"Americans are a resolute people, who have risen to every test of our time. Adversity has revealed the character of our country, to the world, and to ourselves.
America is a strong Nation, and honorable in the use of our strength. We exercise power without conquest, and we sacrifice for the liberty of strangers.
Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not Americas gift to the world, it is Gods gift to humanity.
We Americans have faith in ourselves - but not in ourselves alone. We do not claim to know all the ways of Providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in THE loving God behind ALL of life, and ALL of history.
May He guide us now, and may God continue to bless the United States of America."

God executeth His decrees in the work of creation and providence.
I said to the missus that it is truly awesome to be alive with such a man as president.
