Barack Obama invokes Jesus more than George W. Bush - Eamon Javers - POLITICO.com

And yet... the people who attacked Bush for his "Radical Religious Fervor" are strangely silent. What's up with that. It's almost like they don't really have any core values, just go with 'their guy' no matter what. Nawww... couldn't be that... could it?
Barack Obama invokes Jesus more than George W. Bush - Eamon Javers - POLITICO.com:
"Obama’s invocation of the Christian Messiah is more overt than Americans heard in the public rhetoric of Bush in his time in the White House — even though Bush’s victories were powered in part by evangelical voters.

“I don’t recall a single example of Bush as president ever saying, ‘Jesus’ or ‘Christ,’” said Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Christian group Family Research Council. “This is different.”

To Perkins, Obama’s overtly Christian rhetoric is a welcome development from an administration that he largely disagrees with on the issues, though Perkins sees a political motive behind it, as well."
