I may have missed it but I have never heard Bill Clinton or al Gore mention the name of Jesus Christ.
The best description I have heard of Bill Clinton's faith was given by a black woman social worker from Texas [Huston I believe]. She said : "Every time Bill Clinton gets in trouble he sticks a 20# Bible under his arm and visits a Black church."

Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides
By DOUG THOMPSON
Aug 25, 2005, 06:19
While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.
“I’m not meeting again with that XXXXXXXXX XXXXX,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to XXXX as far as I’m concerned!”
Bush XXXXXXX the XXXX, something aides say he does often and has been doing since his days as governor of Texas.
Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them “XXXXXXXXXXXXXX traitors.” He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “XXXXXXXX protectors” over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to “tell those VFW XXXXXXXX that I’ll never speak to them again is they can’t keep their members under control.”
White House insiders say Bush is growing increasingly bitter over mounting opposition to his war in Iraq. Polls show a vast majority of Americans now believe the war was a mistake and most doubt the President’s honesty.
“Who XXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXX what the polls say,” he screamed at a recent strategy meeting. “I’m the President and I’ll do whatever I XXXXXXXXX please. They don’t XXXX XXXX.”
Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the recent CAFTA bill, XXXXXXXX an XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX to reporters. Aides say the President often “XXXXX XXX XXXX” to show his displeasure and tells aides who disagree with him to “XX XX XXXX” or to “XX XXXX XXXXXXXX.” His habit of XXXXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXX goes back to his days as Texas governor, aides admit, and videos of him doing so before press conferences were widely circulated among TV stations during those days. A recent video showing him XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX to reporters while walking also recently surfaced.
Bush’s behavior, according to prominent Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank, author of “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” is all too typical of an alcohol-abusing bully who is ruled by fear.
To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has to do is confront the President. “To actually directly confront him in a clear way, to bring him out, so you would really see the bully, and you would also see the fear,” he says.
Dr. Frank, in his book, speculates that Bush, an alcoholic who brags that he gave up booze without help from groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, XXX XX XXXXXXX again.
“Two questions that the press seems particularly determined to ignore have hung silently in the air since before Bush took office,” Dr. Frank says. “Is he still drinking? And if not, is he impaired by all the years he did spend drinking? Both questions need to be addressed in any serious assessment of his psychological state.”
Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House physician prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the President to control what aides called “violent mood swings.” As Dr. Frank also notes: “In writing about Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post media critic Tom Shales speculated that ‘the president may have been ever so slightly medicated.’”
Dr. Frank explains Bush’s behavior as all-to-typical of an alcoholic who is still in denial:
“The pattern of blame and denial, which recovering alcoholics work so hard to break, seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic personality; it's rarely limited to his or her drinking,” he says. “The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so prevalent in George W. Bush's personal history that it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat.”

I have said all along that bush is a baby Christian who could be losing the civil war
that is raging inside his mind and clearly
his workout addiction takes the place of
past addictions but with a workout addiction
sooner or later your body breaks down or you
have an accident...of course he needs our prayers
but imho he needs to talk to somebody. imho
Although heavily edited the salient point is
we should be concerned and hope and pray he gets
some help either through spiritual miracle or
medical psychiatry under the eye of a Sovereign
God.

Have you heard him profess his faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior?
Glad that we close these thread after 10 pages.
I think Jonah Goldberg said it best in a column at National Review Online about Storm Troopers vs. Cindy Sheehan:
The Constitution allows me to make a very long list of statements. I can say George W. Bush is in the pocket of Zionists and oil interests, as a certain woman hanging out in Crawford, Texas does. I can also say that George W. Bush is little bunny fru-fru hopping through the forest. I can say that the difference between him and a duck is ice cream because, after all, a vest has no sleeves.... In other words, I can say any crazy old thing I want. I can say America is a racist, sexist, homophobic country of hate with mean icing and a bigoted cherry on top. Or I can say that I have armadillos in my trousers.
In fact, I can actually put armadillos in my trousers (though I suspect there's barely room for one) and then say all of the above. Because, you see, I can make statements almost anywhere I like about almost anything I like. I can say it in Texas, I can say it in front of the White House. I can say it dressed like a mouse, I can say it like a souse.
Okay I hate rhymes. So enough of that.

OldRegular,
I was actually responding to LadyEagle's comments that were posted @ 6:19 PM.
If you are going to reply to me, please provide the proof that anyone has used the word "hate" to describe their feelings about the President. To reiterate: Any reply, other than providing that elusive proof for the claim that YOU made, is nothing more than abject fatuity.

A quote from the above site showing that the love of Jesus Christ really flows from Al Gore! [Emphasis mine]
Gore’s mouth tightened. A Southern Baptist, he, too, had declared himself born again, but he clearly had disdain for Bush’s public kind of faith. “It’s a particular kind of religiosity,” he said. “It’s the American version of the same fundamentalist impulse that we see in Saudi Arabia, in Kashmir, in religions around the world: Hindu, Jewish, Christian, Muslim. They all have certain features in common. In a world of disconcerting change, when large and complex forces threaten familiar and comfortable guideposts, the natural impulse is to grab hold of the tree trunk that seems to have the deepest roots and hold on for dear life and never question the possibility that it’s not going to be the source of your salvation. And the deepest roots are in philosophical and religious traditions that go way back. You don’t hear very much from them about the Sermon on the Mount, you don’t hear very much about the teachings of Jesus on giving to the poor, or the beatitudes. It’s the vengeance, the brimstone.”
Gore the tree hugger should know about tree trunks!

Well LE like the Black lady said we know that Clinton had a lot of personal problems while in the office, and while out of the office! Perhaps that explains the disparity between Clinton and Bush.

Another quote from the site referenced by LE:
http://www.cwfa.org/articles/6325/CWA/freedom/
God talk by a conservative Republican like George W. Bush is not tolerated, whereas liberal Democrats can talk about God as much as they want, even for explicitly partisan purposes. The double standard is quite sad and unfair. This is America, and politicians on both sides ought to be able to freely exercise their faiths—without attack.

Sorry, I'm with OldRegular.
It would not be, in my mind, outrageous to suggest that a topic such as “I know Bush needs our prayers but does he need medical help? “ is not conveying an genuine concern for his health, rather someone suggesting they hate Bush.
If you don't hate Bush, can't you just say so without all the court room drama?

This thread has yet to prove the contention of the OP, that any member of the BB hates President Bush. This kind of false accusation against your brothers and sisters in Christ is simply wrong. You do not make a false accusation right by repeating it - no more than I could do so if I kept saying that "Supposedly Christian members of the BB idolise President Bush."

I do not hate President Bush, but I believed that by calling himself a Christian he has seriously marred the image that many people around the world have of Christ and His teachings. From my point of view, Bush focuses on two or three issue that he believe to be of religious significance but then almost totally dismisses the teachings of Christ.
