bush visits birthplace of our savior....not struck by lightning from on high
Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 09:58 AM by Philosoraptor
Oh boy! the president is making a statement from Jersalem this morning at 10:15 Eastern!

THE PRESIDENT: Madam Minister, thank you very much for your hospitality. It's been a -- it's been a moving moment for me and the delegation to be here at the Church of the Nativity. For those of us who practice the Christian faith, there's really no more holy site than the place where our Savior was born.

And I want to thank the government for arranging this trip. I also thank very much the three different churches for welcoming me here. It's a fascinating history in this church, so not only was my soul uplifted, my knowledge of history was enriched.

I want to thank the people of Bethlehem for enduring a presidential trip -- I know it's been inconvenient for you. I very much appreciate your tolerating my entourage. Some day I hope that as a result of a formation of a Palestinian state there won't be walls and checkpoints, that people will be able to move freely in a democratic state. That's the vision, greatly inspired by my belief that there is an Almighty, and a gift of that Almighty to each man, woman and child on the face of the Earth is freedom. And I felt it strongly here today.

Anyway, thank you very much.

2. his speeches seem so much better when
you don;t actually have to suffer through him mangling them with his bumbling delivery and strange vocalizations.

Obviously don;t agree with the almighty bit but it's not a bad little thank you speech. Of course - it's not like he does this off the cuff or writes the damn things himself.

4. He was talking about Bethlehem
even though the speech was given in Jerusalem.

He was inconvenienced by the checkpoints I see...

"I want to thank the people of Bethlehem for enduring a presidential trip -- I know it's been inconvenient for you. I very much appreciate your tolerating my entourage".


His entourage of 10,000 security personnel, and shutting down the whole city, and having a whole hotel only with his personnel only, hey george you are nothing but a coward.

and he can get off his religious rhetoric what total BS, what makes him think he's so righteous after killing the number of innocent people and invading an innocent country, I hate the man!!!

15. A dark, bearded, Semitic man wearing a robe and sandals who suddenly appeared in the midst of all
that security would probably be gunned down. It there any provision in The Bible for the Third Coming?
