QUESTION: Going back to the subject of the President, did anyone speak specifically about President Bush -- their feelings about him, objections to him?
UNDER SECRETARY HUGHES: I haven’t really heard a lot of that. I had one person at one lunch raise the issue of the President mentioning God in his speeches. And I asked whether he was aware that previous American presidents have also cited God, and that our Constitution cites "one nation under God." He said "well, never mind" and went on to something else. So he sort of was trying to equate that with the terrorists’ (inaudible). So I explained that I didn’t really think that was something you could equate. And he sort of dropped it and moved on. He was one of the opposition leaders in Egypt.
And this is the woman we're jetting around the world to spread understanding of America? Of course it is.

In arguments, I often pompously pronounce that there is almost nothing in the Constitution that is remotely traceable to Christianity or the Bible. But I was wondering if there might be something I'm not thinking of -- anyone?
