Fog of Life: President Bush's faith is a media target....

Many of my more liberal friends acused the President of being a religious zealot long before the elections. I have often heard this reflected in the name calling and constant "discussions" of faith in the White House by the pundits and media.

There's no denying that the President has referred to God when speaking in public. Undoubtedly he has spiritual advisors. Ironically, in comparing the badges of religion worn by President Bush to President Clinton, it seems like Clinton's religion was flaunted much more publicly than Bush's.

We were often exposed images of President Clinton walking down the steps from a church holding Hillary's hand in one hand and carrying a Bible in the other hand, especially after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke. Just for our benefit, he had Chelsea bop along behind them. We were often reminded of how he conferred with his religious and spiritual advisors and we even treated to cable news updates of White House visits by Jesse Jackson.

The President has taken a lot of heat for saying that he takes direction from God. I guess I prefer God giving direction to our leader than the dubious cadre that were providing guidance to his predecssor.

I realize Bill Clinton is an icon for many, but America and the Democratic party ought to think long and hard before they accept for one moment any lectures or guidance from former President Clinton on values or morality. Furthermore, if the Democrats thought conservatives were motivated against John Kerry, just wait until they see what happens if (when) they have the nerve to nominate Hillary Clinton in 2008.

In June, the Rev. J. Philip Wogaman, Foundry's pastor, spoke to the Witherspoon Society during the 1999 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Wogaman, who counseled Clinton after the president's affair with Monica Lewinsky, then described Clinton as a "moral man."
