I was at work today and did not get to see any of the goings-on. Where can I get a text of what he said? Does anyone have a link?

I have no doubt whatsoever that there will be numerous posts critical of Warren's prayer. All the comments on the other thread reminded me of a story I heard once concerning President Eisenhower and his cabinet meetings.
Eisenhower opened his cabinet meetings with prayer - sometime a pause for silent prayer or the President would call on a member of the cabinet to pray. The story goes that Ike called on his Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson to pray. Apparently Benson's prayer was barely audible and Eisenhower quipped that he couldn't hear a single word of the prayer.
Benson replied, "That is okay, Mr. President, I wasn't talking to you."
Rippon said:What ruins your point is that Benson was a Mormon.Later,in the 1980's he became President of the LDS.It was probably good that Eisenhower didn't hear his "prayer" -- it only bounced off the walls.
