13 Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfil all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 1:13)
Where was Jesus broadcasting that night?
I may or may not come to the conclusion that abortion kills.

20 And as Ammon entered the land of Ishmael, the Lamanites took him and bound him, as was their custom to bind all the Nephites who fell into their hands, and carry them before the king; and thus it was left to the pleasure of the king to slay them, or to retain them in captivity, or to cast them into prison, or to cast them out of his land, according to his will and pleasure.
21 And thus Ammon was carried before the king who was over the land of Ishmael; and his name was Lamoni; and he was a descendant of Ishmael.
22 And the king inquired of Ammon if it were his desire to dwell in the land among the Lamanites, or among his people.
23 And Ammon said unto him: Yea, I desire to dwell among this people for a time; yea, and perhaps until the day I die.
24 And it came to pass that king Lamoni was much pleased with Ammon, and caused that his bands should be loosed; and he would that Ammon should take one of his daughters to wife.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 17:20 - 24)
A perfect stranger from amongst the enemy. A WHITE Nephite (any good Nephite is a dead Nephite). And a king of a dark race offers one of his black children to him so he may become his son in law? What message does that send to his people?
25 But Ammon said unto him: Nay, but I will be thy servant. Therefore Ammon became a servant to king Lamoni. And it came to pass that he was set among other servants to watch the flocks of Lamoni, according to the custom of the Lamanites.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 17:25)
Imagine in the early 80's if George Bush jr. asks his father if he might go to Iraq and preach Jesus to Sadaam Husein?
A son of the leader (and potential successor) of your enemies in your own house?

Yes. Jesus goes to Australia this time, and feeds a multitude with 5 barbequed shrimp. There are huge outback wars (fought primarily on the backs of elephants) between the Helphites and the Waytootites, and Helphi, the hero writes his thoughts about it on some platinum plates and hides them in the skull of a dead crocodile. This all comes on the heels of his exile out of Switzerland. God commanded him to build a submarine and drive it to the new holy land (Sydney), and Helphi knew just what to do.
I can't wait for the movie.

I don't think your GWB scenario even does it justice.
A better parallel would be to say that an African came to Thomas Jefferson while he was president, said "I want to be your servant" and Jefferson saying, "Wow. How impressive. Here, take one of my daughters to wife".

Not bad.
How about a Jew getting caught strolling into Hitler's bunker with an offer to feed his dogs and work on his parade car?
