Subject: Bill O'Reilly: Judeo-Christian beliefs, President Bush and Christ


Bill,
You made an insightful comment in response to a caller on your radio program yesterday. Insightful and at the same time, troubling. Your caller who claims to have joined President George W. Bush in faith-based activities said that the president continually prays to God for guidance and that his faith is based upon his "Judeo-Christian" beliefs. To which you responded, there is no "Judeo" about it. That in your interview(s) with this president he made it clear to you that as a Christian, this philosopher, Christ has been the guiding figure and influence in his life. A Jewish philosopher who is, in the president's mind detached from his Jewish roots?
Perhaps this helps to explain why President Bush has seems to have turned against the Jewish state in his efforts to create a Palestinian Arab (terrorist) state, one which will dedicate itself to drive the Jews into the sea.

Regards,
Steve Klein
