I generally always took this story to be a warning that the wrong person in the Presidency can essentially destroy everything that America is supposed to stand for, starting with democracy, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. When I see someone like [[George W. Bush]] managing to get into the White House with a platform that appeals to many of the worst traits of [[evangelism]], and working to further evangelism's goals at the expense of rationalism and meritocracy, and you have people saying "I feel that God is in the White House", it's just plain scary. (The fact that we're less than 10 years from the date of Scudder's fictional presidency is just icing on the scary-cake.) --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 11:29, 15 Nov 2005 (CST)
