Bush Attends Hispanic Prayer Breakfast

[Rose Siding]

WASHINGTON Jun 16, 2005 — President Bush joined with Democrats and Republicans alike Thursday at the Hispanic prayer breakfast, thanking lawmakers for "setting aside politics to come and honor the Almighty through prayer."

Bush urged the audience of several hundred people, including religious leaders and business officials, to "take time to pray. It really is the strength of America, isn't it?"

He recognized several lawmakers in the audience, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Hilda Solis, both of them California Democrats; Reps. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, and Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.; and Luis Fortuno, the Republican delegate from Puerto Rico. Bush thanked them for serving their country.

The prayer meeting came two days after a Republican fund-raiser where Bush launched a combative attack on Democrats and accused them of standing for nothing but obstructionism.

4. "take time to pray. It really is the strength of America, isn't it?"

Not democracy, or equal treatment under the law, or economic fairness, or peace. Fuck all those things. All we have left, apparently, is religiosity.

Wow, what a fine example we are to the rest of the world.
