As the media's cameras have swung permanently to the left, we have almost forgotten the man that we have been praying for so fervently for the past 8 years (like his policies or not). I hope President Bush finds his redemption. He finds himself in the same conundrum that each of us finds ourselves in on a more personal level; God's forgiveness is usually easier to find than mans.
The following is excerpted from a White House Press Release today.
INTERVIEW EXCERPTS OF PRESIDENT BUSH AND THE FIRST
LADY BY DORO BUSH KOCH, STORYCORPS (11/28/08)
"Q: What role does faith play in your day-to-day life?
THE PRESIDENT: I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the President, and I have been affected by people's prayers a lot. I have found that faith is comforting, faith is strengthening, faith has been important….I would advise politicians, however, to be careful about faith in the public arena. …In other words, politicians should not be judgmental people based upon their faith. They should recognize -- as least I have recognized I am a lowly sinner seeking redemption, and therefore have been very careful about saying (accept) my faith or you're bad. In other words, if you don't accept what I believe, you're a bad person. And the greatness of America -- it really is -- is that you can worship or not worship and be equally American. And it doesn't matter how you choose to worship; you're equally American. And it's very important for any President to jealously protect, guard, and strengthen that freedom."
