Sounders,

 Thank you for the great responses to my question about prayer. Now I can ask 
my next question and I'm praying it won't trun the list upside down and over.

  Do any of you think America's president is influenced or motivated by the 
popular pre-mil, pre-trib book selling eschatology that pushes allegiance to 
Israel?

  Heading for the bunker,
     Simon P.
