When Did It Become Wrong For Our Leaders to Pray For Our Troops?

Is anyone excited about the upcoming election? Can't you just feel the energy since Governor Palin was nominated VP by McCain! My Mother and I will sit most of the night watcing any and every interview on TV. We watch them all, McCain, Obama, Palin, Biden. But we try never to miss a Palin interview or any coverage of her. Of course - we watch Fox mostly. But last week it was ABC and Mr. Gibson's interview we didn't miss!

Family Research Council stated in an email - "If you missed the interview Charlie Gibson had with Governor Palin last Thursday, you missed a very revealing moment that demonstrated just how out of touch our media elites are with the American people and American history."

During the exchange, ABC played a truncated clip of Governor Palin in her church praying for our troops, praying that their mission is in accordance with God's plan.

After reciting just a small portion of her prayer, Mr. Gibson glibly asked Governor Palin, "Are we fighting a holy war?"

"One wonders if Mr. Gibson would have asked the same question to President Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Franklin Roosevelt, or any of the other Presidents who have offered similar prayers for the troops in times of war."

But that was the tone of the whole interview - very skeptical, and condescending. Ask hard questions Mr. Gibson, but please! Show some respect!

Lord, help us to elect ONLY leaders who pray in accordance with your will! AMEN!!
