FAITH-BASED ENERGY PLAN ANNOUNCED BY WHITE HOUSE Midland, TX - (GNO) - President Bush, fresh from Easter worship services, took time off from the holiday to announce his new energy plan, yesterday. "It's a faith-based energy plan. It's based on faith. That's my plan. For energy. For lights. And cars," the President said. "When the Hebrews were wandering in the desert, they didn't look to government, they prayed for manna, and there was manna. I think that means food," Bush said. "Probably beef jerky or dried apricots." "And when the Puritans were persecuated in England and Great Britain, they didn't look to government. They prayed to live in a land where they wouldn't be depressed. And their prayers were answered," he continued. "When the men who found oil in this great state of Texas made their discoveries, they didn't ask the government for help. They didn't say 'Government, help me find oil.' No. They prayed to the One who made the oil," Bush said. "So my plan is, well, we need more energy. So I think everybody should pray. And it's not a Supreme Court thing. Pray anyhow you want to," Bush concluded. Aides said the President's remarks were spontaneous and the plan has yet to be reviewed by the cabinet. "It's a brilliant move," said long-time political analyst Morton Blingfellow. "Who in this Congress is going to oppose prayer? And if it doesn't work, Bush can always blame the people who didn't pray hard enough." |
