Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue must feel overjoyed and accomplished, even if he doesn't come out and say it!!! I'm so glad that he had the courage to come out and do his prayer publicly, risking being ridiculed, and at the same time accosted by people who firmly believed he was violating the separation from church and state.
I know that as simply a human being that he is, that he feels deep down he did the right thing.

Unless he made Christianity his state's religion, he did nothing to violate the Constitution or the law. Praying in public -- even by a civil servant -- is not illegal. And, check THIS out: there is nothing ANYWHERE in our history's legal documentation that says anything about "there shall be separation of church and state." Good luck!!

Admitting to belief in this country is asking to have a target put on your back. Good for him for doing what he thinks is right. I'll bet there will be some atheist out there who'll make a big deal out of it. Some of them seem to be so intimidated by the fact that others believe, like it physically hurts them or something. And they call us intolerant.

Perhaps he'd been taken a tad more seriously if there wasn't rain in the forecast when they did this silly thing.
Did you notice the church hit and the children hurt in the storm that did bring rain? If his "prayers (were) answered" like you think, you got quite an evil god if he hurt children in doing so.
