"PRESIDENT BUSH DECLARES NEXT FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 AS DAY OF PRAYER Throughout our history in times of testing, Americans have come together in prayer to heal and ask for strength for the tasks ahead. So I've declared Friday, September the 16th, as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance. I ask that we pray -- as Americans have always prayed in times of trial -- with confidence in His purpose, with hope for a brighter future, and with the humility to ask God to keep us strong so that we can better serve our brothers and sisters in need. --George W. Bush"
Now that I find much more serious then the previous links or at least I did not see this quote in my quick scans of those sources. It could be worse, somewhat. At least he used words that, with a little generous interpretation, should apply to most faiths. It does heavily step on the insteps of ones who do not believe in anything. Also, it steps on the toes of those who may not believe in a 'Him' or a single or specific 'God' [FSM]. But hey they are small minorities and probably don't vote much so no harm - no foul.
