Glad to hear it. I'm pretty sure history will list him as one of our worst presidents of all time.

I also look forward to the day when presidents don't have to end every speech or letter with "God bless the United States of America." IMO, it's totally inappropriate just like the addition of "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance.
