What are they trying to imply

This is a business enterprise of Dr Dobson, I'd guess something recommended by his tax advisors. Obviously he knows how stupid these poor followers are....
During the 8 year Bush 2 administration, the NDoP was a big deal. Did taxpayer funds pay for Bush's ecumenical soirees??
Quote:
For years, it has been a staple of the White House calendar.On the first Thursday of May, dedicated as the National Day of Prayer, President George W. Bush hosted an ecumenical service in the East Room.
