The Hidden Passages in Bush's Inaugural Address

When Bush thanked the American people for granting him patience in “good measure,” he was echoing Luke 6:38, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure. . . .”

When Bush talked of the “ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today, and forever,” he was echoing Hebrews 13:8, which says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

Many more examples are given. Perhaps that's why Peggy Noonan called it a "God-drenched "speech. The pundits who just counted the times Bush used the word "God" were not onto Bush's game, apparently.
