Do you like Bush?, After everything thats happened Options

Looking at the way George Bush dealt with the whole hurricane disaster, do you like him as a president? I think he did a horrible job. I haven't done tons of research or anything but first of all it took him 5 days to get people food and water, and before he even stepped FOOT in new orleans. Remember the tsunami? He was helping out the very next DAY and he can't even do that in our own country. I was just watching the news and it was pissing me off when they showed a clip of him hugging some new orleans residents like he saved the day, so i had to make this poll.

You are correct that the actual term “spearation of church and state” does not appear in the consitiution but it derives from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. The separation of church and state is governed by the Establishment Clause of the First Amendemnt to the Consitiutions. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" I don’t think religion has any place in the government at all, or in schools. Here’s something to think about, when you go to court and take the stand as a witness you swear on the bible. What about other religions? Say a muslim is called to take the stand, even if they do swear on the bible it holds no meaning to them because they don’t believe in it. Should the courts of the United States keep a copy of all religious material handy? There is no point to it. They can just sign an Affidavit.

The fact is that religion has no place in the government. I’m not saying your not entitled to belive what you belive, but you should also respect other’s beliefs.
