| The video shown above is a must-see for U2 fans, no matter what you think about GW. The song, one of my favorites, is always very thought-provoking, yet I never really applied it to what is going on around the world right now. Still, and I know I might lower many people's view of me, I am glad George W. Bush is our president. The way I see it, no president is going to please everyone, so I'd rather have one that doesn't try to please everyone but rather follows his own drumbeat (of course, that's why so many people can't stand him). And I believe he's a sincere Christian; not perfect, but sincere. I recently received a chain email titled "A Heart Warming Story About President Bush." It was about one man's encounter with GW, where the president ended up praying for the man's cancer-infirm mother. I checked it out online, and found it was likely true. Go figure! | |

What I think of George W. Bush

i agree with you to a large extent. the thing i can't figure out is how bush's faith worldview is so disconnected with his economic policy. in personal finances, it is always frowned upon (and even more so as christians) to live beyond ones means, especially on credit cards. but the last six years have brought on an increasing national debt, that i don't see bush doing anything substantial on.
well, i agree this nation is not run according to christian principles ... i've heard it said that u.s. economic policy, while certainly not healthy for ourselves, creates inter-dependence globally. other countries need us to keep up our consumer binge.
also, even though the debt is in trillions, it is not entirely unserviceable. i've heard that it will take a few tens of thousands of dollars per capita to pay off our debt completely ... and no country is entirely without debt. in fact, a national debt was one of the best things instituted by our first treasury secretary, alexander hamilton. of course, just because a national debt is good, it doesn't follow that an ever larger national debt is even better. ;-P
