How 'bout that. Out of the NYT for pitty sakes. Is it okay to put that on here now?

In the United States, he said, "there are thousands of people who pray for me that I'll never see and be able to thank," and he added, "But it's a humbling experience to think that people I will never have met have lifted me and my family up in prayer."

Before I read the article, I just noticed it's from the NYSLIMES..hopefully I won't need a BARF BAG! Wish me luck!

I would hope it would be in the millions, but we'll take any and all prayers. Thank God this man is our President.

truly amazing to have come from the nyt. probably on page 1 tomorrow, my guess.

The article has its good points. But you knew that an article about Bush's "lack of doubt" in the NYTimes was going to paint Bush as a fanatic. There wouldn't be many more lines before we heard that Bush sees the world as a "biblical struggle of good and evil". See, Bush's certainty is an implication of the fact that Bush is a religious fanatic, of course, who wouldn't know a reasonable doubt if it hopped out of his King James Bible and bit him, the Times is telling us.

How about that, a decent NY Times article.

People who have met with Mr. Bush have been struck by his tranquillity.

Some of us were drawn to him because of this tranquility, recognizing that his faith makes him strong. We are so blessed to have a moral man of convictions guiding the helm.

The Atlantic alliance was splintering

Well, so it is. At the instigation of Monsieur Chirac. And when the splinters fall to the ground, France will be isolated, not America.

I was listening to the BBC today and heard that absolute IDJIT professor from U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign who is pushing for Pres. Bush's impeachment. The flavor of the week THIS week is Bush's "Illegal and Aggressive War". By the way, can anyone tell me of any war that is NOT aggressive? What a maroon! Of course after his anti-war diatribe he began pulling out all the old chestnuts like "He's an illegitimate President", he was 'chosen' by the 5 conservatives on the Supreme Court, he's not the people's choice. He's claiming that the congressfolks who voted last fall for what amounted to acquiesence to Bush in waging war on Iraq, didn't really mean that they would support a war, but that they would support inspections.

Anyway, this guy is going to try to get some Democrats to try to get the impeachment ball rolling. Frankly, I wish they would. It would only diminish them FURTHER in the eyes of the majority of Americans!

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I'm one who prays daily for this good and decent man. I thank the Lord for our president!

[WIladyconservative]

For the next 10 minutes, the president of the United States, a man under inconceivable pressures, sat in solitude, undisturbed.

I like to pray in private, too.

[GretchenEE]

FYI - very edifying read

[Wait4Truth]

I had to check and make sure this wasn't from the New York POST...I am really rather stunned to see something like this from the Times.

Our President is the kind of person most of us strive to be...a person of faith, integrity, conviction, grace, love and honor. He is standing tall in the face of vicious attacks from around the world and yet he is calm because he knows that what he is doing is right and just. As we gather behind him, let us lift him in prayer and carry him upon our shoulders against the winds of evil. God bless him...from the bottom of my heart.

[Lando Lincoln]

Good post Pokey. May God lift up this fine and good man.

[Quix]

GREAT POST.

THANKS.

"Whether you agree with him or not," Mr. Schumer said, "one of Bush's strengths is that he goes with his instincts. And at a time like this, when the winds are swirling around in all different directions, a president is well served who has his own internal gyroscope."

An angel rides in the whirlwind, and directs this storm.

Presidents handle pressure differently — ...Bill Clinton got on the phone in the middle of the night
