Yes Meph, you just can't stand if there is any hint of bias in a post. God forbid we were all politically correct and held no one to account for their political beliefs as well. I know you have never posted anything here that sounded or looked ignorant. Right....

The criticism on the Easter statement was that the only public comments he made were about equating Easter with other religions, and yet for the Muslim holidays he made a point of putting out a full public statement, and didn't try to include Jews and Christians in theirs. Great, he hosted a prayer breakfast - for which Bush would have been criticized up one side and down the other for making the WH too much about religion. And where does the story break? On the Whitehouse BLOG site. Oh yeah - with the MSM right out there... not saying a thing about it.

Actually, I don't think he should give a public statement on ANY religion. He should attend whatever church he feels is appropriate for himself and his family, and leave the religion at home. Maybe if he was more consistent with that approach. I never really like the fact that Bush pushed for a lot of prayer meetings and such while he was in office, that definitely sent the wrong message, and was too much of an "in-your-face" approach to things.

Yes, he is such a ground breaker on hosting religious events. Where is the MSM on this again? Hosting religious events in the Whitehouse always caused quite an upraor from MSM when Bush was in office. But the only thing they want to report on this year is the easter egg event - that is so obviously what the celebration is all about lol.

Never said that. And I don't believe that.
