Friends, desite being a lifelong Republican, as a patriotic American who has ever supported all of our country's elected officials I was inspired as I viewed the address on AFN today.
I am happy to make the following observation & to promise continued prayers for this administration.
I'm staying on the Presidential Prayer Team.
"I thank President Bush for his service to our nation as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition."
I'm thankful too. I humbly suggest that GW Bush will go down as one of the great ones.
"Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath."
I must think it's more, David Rice Atchison did, I'm fairly convinced, take the oath since the President refused to be sworn in on a Sunday.
"Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred."
Glad he admits these essential facts which many Democrats have obscured.
"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things."
Very appropriate, from I Corinthians 13 by St. Paul The Apostle, I believe.
"We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.
We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its costs.
We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age."
The call to duty for Obama's "New Age".... very well spoken & I agree.
"Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched."
Capitalism confirmed...hallelujah
"We will not apologize for our way of life nor will we waver in its defense.
And for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that, "Our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken. You cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you."
quite frankly, awesome language I was moved by this portion of the speech
God Bless Our President.
