Watching Bush Fade

For several weeks, I have had occasion to join a certain elderly couple at their Sunday breakfast.

The lady of the house begins breakfast every day with a spoken grace, which always includes thanks for the day, intercessions on behalf of family members and a word on behalf of the state of the world.

At first, she regularly called for protection and support for President* Bush. Later, I heard her ask for "wisdom" to be granted to him "to see the way to peace". Most recently, she bluntly asked God to "help us make an end to this terrible, foolish war".

I had heard previously about Bush's support slipping, but now I've seen him losing a constituent with my own eyes.
