Karen, for the record (and FYI), here is the invocation delivered at the 1997 inauguration:

Thanks. I wish I could find the one from Saturday. It so outraged me that my memory shorted out and I'd like to see exactly what was so offensive.

I think Saturday's benediction and the invocation you posted are more or less acceptable. I don't find it unreasonable to call upon the higher power of the person assuming such an awesome position for a blessing. I would cross out a few lines of this invocation, however, where it starts to suggest a theocracy. That crosses the line, IMO.

Karen

P.S. Looks like the preview is on the fritz again. It just zapped my post.
