President Bush Spoke at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast
Filed in archive Latin News by Eliane on June 18, 2007

President Bush spoke last Friday at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast, in Washington. How nice: George Bush praying at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. I wonder if Bush and the attending Latino religious and political leaders prayed for the same things. Well, I guess only God knows for sure, right?
What we do know is what Bush said. His speech started beautifully, and he said things like this:
This morning we have many things to pray for. We pray for our families and our loved ones and our friends. We pray for the strength and safety of our nation. We pray for wisdom and grace in times of trial. And we pray to give thanks for the many blessings that God has bestowed upon America.
Among those blessings are millions of talented men and women of Hispanic origin who call this country home. Our nation is more vibrant because of the contributions made by Hispanic Americans in all sectors of our society -- in arts, to business, to religion, to education. Our nation is more hopeful because of the Hispanic Americans who serve in the armies of compassion, who are surrounding neighbors in need who hurt with love; people who are helping to change America one heart and one soul and one conscience at a time.
Beautiful, just beautiful. He also said:
You're demonstrating El Sueño Americano es para todos.
El Sueño Americano. So, President Bush speaks Spanish. So far, he seems to be the president all Latinos in the US has prayed for. Later on, he said:
Our responsibilities are straightforward -- we've got to enforce the border, basic duty of a sovereign nation. We've got to create a lawful way for foreign workers to fill jobs that Americans are not doing. Our economy depends on them. And we must resolve the status of illegal immigrantsalready in our country without amnesty and without animosity, because that is the only practical way to fix the problem that has been decades in the making. We must help new immigrants assimilate. That's what has always made our nation strong. People in America must have confidence in this country to help people assimilate.
Now, that's more like it. Immigrants should only fill jobs that Americans don't want, and they really need to assimilate. That's the President Bush we all know and... I better stop here.
Bush should hire Jessica Alba to work for him. I'm sure they would really get along.
