Bush headlines Hispanic conference


President George Bush is the keynote speaker for today's convention of the largest Hispanic evangelical network in the United States.

The 2008 National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast, held this morning, brings together more than 750 Hispanic religious leaders to talk about issues in the Hispanic community.

"It is a blessing and an honor to host President Bush at the Prayer Breakfast," said Rev. Luis Cortes, Jr., President of Esperanza. "This year, more than ever, we have come together in a special way to pray, celebrate, and advocate for Hispanics everywhere."

Bush joins Panama's First Lady, Vivian Fernandez de Torrijos, and Israel's Tourism Commissioner, Rami Levi.

This is the sixth time Bush has participated in this event.
