Editor’s note: Each week, WorldNetDaily White House correspondent Les Kinsolving asks the tough questions no one else will ask. And each week, WorldNetDaily brings you the transcripts of those dialogues with the president and his spokesman. If you’d like to suggest a question for the White House, submit it to WorldNetDaily’s exclusive interactive forum MR. PRESIDENT!
At today’s White House news briefing, WND asked presidential press secretary Scott McClellan about controversy surrounding Bush’s recent comment that Christians and Muslims worship the same god, and Sen. John Kerry’s profane remark about the president.
WND: Since the president is no doubt aware of the millions of his supporters in the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Evangelical Alliance, and given his statement in London that Christians and Muslims worship the same god, my question, what is his reaction to Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention who said the president is simply mistaken, and Merle Haggard of the NEA, who said Muhammad’s central message was submission, Jesus’ central message was love?
McCLELLAN: I think the president has stated his views repeatedly. He’s also stated repeatedly that Islam is a faith that teaches peace. And he’s made that very clear.
WND: The New York Post headline “Cursing Kerry Unleashes Foul-Mouthed Attack on Bush” – does the president agree or disagree with this headline?
McCLELLAN: I think the question was asked earlier.
WND: No, I was following up, because you didn’t answer what the president thought –
McCLELLAN: I don’t think the president comments on every single headline across the U.S.
Submit a question to the MR. PRESIDENT! forum.
