Good observation.. He did credit religion with keeping him from bumping coke.

Good for him, but he should realise the rest of the world does not necessarly operate the way George Bush operates. Enforcing one way of looking at things, particularly in reference to religion, is akin to facism. No government programs that push a single religion should be allowed. The only faith I seem to hear in referrence to these faith based programs is the christian faith.

"Sure, you are free.. But you are also sick, we will un-sicken you. Take this cross. Get healthy. We are gonna need to you come draft time."

Regardless of intent, this appears bad.
