Since prayer requires a god/religion, the government should not put forth a decree like this. It is unconstitutional!Nothing on his schedule to honor this traditional National Day of Prayer.
Bush held celebrations in the White House every year he was POTUS. I miss him. I miss a real Christian in the White House.
I don't miss Bush at all! I always had the feeling he had a christian agenda driving his decisions (see: the war in Iraq, Stem Cell research...). He was anti-science whenever there was a conflict between it and his religion (see teaching creationism in school) and was able to "justify" torture and who know's what other heinous acts in the name of national security driven by his belief that America was doing god's work!
The American people are better then his leadership suggests.
For me I feel relieved that the president is not an outwardly religious person! (Personally I think he might very well be an atheist - but that is a death nail for a politician) To me it suggests that he is guided by logic and facts and not a belief in fairy tales or legends.
History has shown many times that religious belief can be, and often is, a vehicle to justify the most heinous of acts by the leaders of peoples. All in the name of this leaders god or gods.
