(16,448 posts)because she was the daughter of a Communist party member in the Soviet era, her family was officially atheist, and she was never baptised or confirmed. Given that background, odds are that she is our first atheist First Lady. I don't see why anyone but the morons who voted for her husband would think that her performance yesterday revealed anything about her spiritual side, if indeed she has one. Actions speak louder than words. After reading the prayer she claimed that she would always be truthful, then turned around and lied that her pervert husband would make the country safer and more prosperous. And after reading Jesus' words about forgiving those who trespass against us, she immediately made a malicious little dig about ignoring whatever is being said about her by "the opposition."
BTW, I am not fluent in Spanish but had two years in high school and another in college. I guarantee you that on a day's notice I could learn to recite the Lord's Prayer flawlessly in Spanish. I am not sure why this would pose any struggle at all for someone who has lived here for 20 years and married to an English speaker for more than half that time.
