Lancaster Online.com: Jack Brubaker The Scribbler : Bush quietly meets with Amish here; they offer their prayers: "One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie, Stoltzfus says. "Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren't supposed to eat untested food."
At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."
As the president left the room, one Amish man wished him good luck in November.
"The Amish group headed back to their farms and shops, reports Stoltzfus. Mothers took their children home for a nap and went back to their sewing and gardens."
