We remain a hopeful America, inspired by the kindness and compassion of our citizens and our commitment to freedom and opportunity. During these days of prayer and remembrance, we reflect on all we have lost and take comfort in each other and in the grace and mercy of our Creator. May God guide us, give us strength and wisdom, and may He continue to bless our great country.Oh, wait, that wasn't a minister but the FRICKIN' PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
. . .
I ask that the people of the United States and their places of worship mark these National Days of Prayer and Remembrance with memorial services, the ringing of bells, and evening candlelight remembrance vigils. I also invite the people of the world to share in these Days of Prayer and Remembrance.
Is he even capable of not invoking his god in every single speech? Doesn't he represent the tens of millions of Americans who don't believe in his god? Or the tens of millions of religious folk who don't want the President of the United States to be the national minister-in-chief? How about throwing a secular bone out once in a while?
I know, I know. Why should I expect anything different? Most Americans are Christians, he's just speaking their language, yadda, yadda, yadda.
The Presidency of the United States is not a religious position, but a secular one. I just wish our current President knew this.

Not to mention that the God we'd be praying to is the same one that allowed the attacks in the first place. I'm sure the prayers will make a difference, though.
