Anyone heard about this book? Written by former Bush aide David Kuo, came out earlier this week. Here's an article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15269146/site/newsweek/ and here's an excerpt from said article:
"The book faults Bush for failing to deliver on his promises for the faith-based program and depicts a White House that publicly embraced conservative religious leaders with "hugs and smiles" but privately mocked them as "nuts," "ridiculous" and "out of control." Kuo, who served as deputy director of the White House office on faith-based initiatives for two and a half years, also writes that Bush political director Ken Mehlman issued "marching orders" to use the faith-based initiative to rally conservative voters in battleground states."
Any opinions on this? Any thoughts?

I absolutely refuse to believe that the Bush administration called religious leaders "nuts" and "ridiculous"...
There's no way anyone in the White House at the moment is that insightful!

A pretty glaring indictment of something that has been obvious to me since 2000. Bush used the Christians and then, like everyone else, he will throw them away when they aren't useful to him anymore. And a lot of Christians are realizing this. Only the delusional people still believe in Bush. The ones who have an identity that has a personal investment in this group of criminals would defend them at this point.
Hope I am not too fierce for you so early in the morning!

He is the antichrist. Ive been telling people this from day one, not that I believe in the antichrist, but it was the only word I could use to convey the evil doing of his agenda.
My lesbian friend who was so distraught by the ignorance of peoples votes, went out and shaved her head. Unfortunately there are people out there who believed the lies,not because they were fooled, but because they were just as anxious to point the finger, and place judgement.
Now everyone is paying for said judgement. Just as the persecution of many jews, the people wanted it, and that is why it happened. When people wake up and start asking for the truth, then there will be no more lies..

I saw him on Good Morning America last week, and he seemed to contradict himself. He was talking about the way the Bush people were making fun of the Evangelicals, then when they asked him if Bush was doing this, he said he never saw him. It was a strange interview. I perceived him as a pot-stirrer, and would not have bought the book based on his interview.

Bush is smarter than I thought. I just wish they would quit pandering to out of control nut cases like focus on the family, pat robertson, jerry falwell, values voters, etc.

Haven't heard of it, but to give bush a break, he has been a little busy participating in the utter destruction of the marginally civilized 3rd world countries

It just shows that our current administration is very competent and wise in making decisions. It also shows that people are ungrateful for what they do receive.
