Actually, when Bush was president the left's heads nearly exploded at the mere thought of Bush and religion. So much so they spent 8 years on a theocracy watch, so why do they not object when Obama invokes the name of Jesus to justify government policy?

Tom,
There will never be an opportunity for a US president to give a speech about circumstances of the magnitude FDR was trying to prepare US citizens for.
It would pretty much have to be total annihilation in the forecast to equal DDay circumstances, and they wouldn't have time to set up a mike.
Maybe FDR was giving one of those foxhole (where some say everybody does it) type prayers. And what else could he have filled in with to make it a speech of any length--after the first paragraph?
Bush pretty much prayed at Ground Zero I believe and with all due respect to that horrific event-it was a long way from DDay.

I certainly hope not... but I suspect otherwise.
