Feeble

On April 5, 2006, The Onion posted a story about Bush, his regimen of prayer, and its results called Critics Blast Bush For Not Praying Hard Enough. Excerpt from the article:
President Bush, already facing the lowest approval ratings in history, is coming under fire from former supporters over what they call his "ineffectual and incompetent" use of prayer for national guidance and assistance.

Despite assurances from the president that he "prays every day" for the nation's interests both at home and abroad, the mounting crises of recent months---escalating gas prices, the botched Dubai port security deal, ethics scandals, and the rising death toll in Iraq---have left many unimpressed with the effectiveness of his devotion. [...]

While newly released portions of White House prayer logs show that Bush's praying has actually gone up in recent months, critics are seeking to subpoena the documents in their entirety to determine the strength of those prayers. [...]

Susan DiDomenico of the National Prayer Task Force said her organization is seeking "full disclosure" of any and all prayers Bush may have skipped or manipulated to seem more effective or holy.
So that brings up the question of God. Perhaps it is God's fault. With Bush saying that he prays hard, could it be that God just isn't listening? But that wouldn't make sense as Bush is supposedly the God-appointed savior President for us all. Could Bush have done something against God's wishes prior to 9/11 to anger him? Maybe it was the stolen election that Katherine Harris masterminded.
