they have a great respect for THE almighty

I am disgusted that the President of the United States of America seems to value his rights to freedom of speech more than the constitution's notions toward separating church and state. laws cannot be formed based on religion - but he can freely speak his ideas. But to me, it is offensive for the President to stand at a disaster site and say these people will be okay because "they have a respect for the almighty."

to me, this is just as offensive of a boss favoring those who play golf or have a male anatomy. Yes, that I have endured in the workplace. But alas, there is a fine line between separation of state and slander...and I choose to be more respectful than the President of the United States of America.

Generally, many people in the western world take issue with Saudi Arabia's religious impositions on people - restricting their rights to free will and freedom of speech. But this President, who went to war for democracy and freedom....is just as guilty as his Saudi friends.

Is it too much to ask, President Bush, that you exercise some manners by respecting that not all who live in your country hold the same religious views? We are obliged to pay the same taxes, to abide by the same rules/laws. We do however have religious freedom. I do not believe in your God. But I have, however, minored in philosophy as a part of my Bachelor of Science at Eastern Oregon University. I have studied other religions. In fact, even growing up in the Roman Catholic school system in Canada, I studied Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and Christianity and many of its sects aside from Catholicism.

Just changing your words a little would be so much more embracing the freedom of the citizens of the country you are supposed to lead: they believe in "an" almighty. Sure say they have faith in a greater power. But "an" suggests there is only one, your's.

And by the by, I'm amazed at how many times you stammer and say "uh..." when you've had a few years of experience speaking to the world.

Well during the debates of Obama v. Clinton, I hope someone remembers when bringing up former President Clinton's escapades...many people believe there's reason to impeach bush too..
