Sherry, from Oregon writes:
Could you please tell us the scripture that President Bush used to place his hand on the Bible in the 2000 inaugeration. I am a chaplain of a Women's Republican group here in Oregon and would like to pray over that scripture for our president, and our nation.Iknow that the scriptures chosen always have special meaning for the president. Thank You

Jim Towey:
Can't help you on that one, Sherry. I don't know. I used to work for Senator Hatfield, and so I got out to Oregon a lot, so hope you are enjoying Oregon's tremendous autumnal beauty! I do know that the President and Mrs. Bush really like Psalm 27: The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom should I fear? That is a beautiful Psalm.

Patricia, from Fairhaven Massachusetts writes:
I would just like to send the message to President Bush that I feel he is doing an excellent job even in the face of all the negativity this past year. I hope he stays strong and knows that the negativity is not coming from the average citizen but from the media.

Jim Towey:
Thanks Patricia! Your words of encouragement will mean a lot to him - and all of us working for him!
