Bush: "I've got God's shoulder to cry on"

In the new book Dead Certain, President Bush told author Robert Draper that he often cries to God:

I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot, Bush told John Draper, author of  Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president. I'll shed some tomorrow.

CanWest News Service said Draper interviewed Bush six times for the book.

Bush told Draper he would never be able to make decision on war if he was still drinking. Exercise helps. And I think prayer helps, he said. I wouldn't be president if I kept drinking. You can get sloppy, can't make decisions. It clouds your reason, absolutely.

This is not the first time Bush has touted his relationship with God.  In 2003, Bush told Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas that God told him to attack Iraq:

"According to Abbas,Bush said: 'God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, andthen he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I amdetermined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me Iwill act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focuson them.'"

He must worship a different God than I.

This is madness. I don't want a leader who takes orders from a being that can't be proven to exist. Bush is a fool. God told him to attack Al Queda? Nah I think that fact that Al queda attacked the US did that. God told Bush to attack Iraq? No, Neo Cons wanted to test out untethered capitalism. If God up and tells Bush to attack Iran one would have to wonder if God is trying to weaken America.

Progressives always worry about having the number of legislative seats to have control over Bush. Well in reality, Bush does not even have control over his own self.
