Look Up.Today our president said some amazingly prescient words about the popes visit to America. Unfortunately they were also the most ironic words to ever leave his mouth. In his introduction of Pope Benedict XVI, Bush said:
In a world where some invoke the name of God to justify acts of terror, and murder, and hate we need your message that God is love…
Sadly, President Bush, you are too blindsided by power to see that you are one of those invoking the name of God to justify the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is worse, is that you equate God, with the idol of power. Your continual grab of power in the name of god has left a tsunami sized wake of blood and bodies strewn across not just the middle east, but across the homes and hearts of all those who have lost a loved one in your senseless war.
Ps: Tell your wife it’s exceedingly rude to wear white next to the Pope. (Uniforms don’t count, the cook gets a papal exemption.)

Give the man a break. The job is a lot tougher than you imagine. I’m not defending him or his actions, but your words are pretty harsh. You often tell me I need to be more forgiving. If the shoe fits…Let God judge him, you’re not qualified to. I don’t see harsh words for your chosen candidate. How do you judge Mr. Obama since it has come to light that a supporter and friend was a member of the weather underground in the 1960’s whose bombings killed people here in the US? He has not condemned the man’s actions or distanced himself from Mr. Ayers.
