GEORGE BUSH: Faith in the White House
No sitting president since Abraham Lincoln has talked as much about God as George W. Bush, and none has so boldly, publicly, and genuinely lived out his faith on the job. As the leader of the free world, Bush bears an enormous responsibility, and its weight drives him to his knees…in prayer and supplication.
Says BBC correspondent Justin Webb, "Nobody spends more time on his knees than George W. Bush. The Bush administration hums to the sound of prayer. Prayer meetings take place day and night. It’s not uncommon to see White House functionaries hurrying down corridors carrying Bibles."
This powerful program is a unique insider’s look at how one man’s dedication to prayer and the daily application of God’s word transformed his life and leadership. His dependence upon God gave him the clarity of vision and quiet confidence needed to lead us through the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Witness President Bush’s remarkable journey of faith, and decide for yourself whether it has been good for America. But whatever you decide, it will change and inspire you! DVD: Extra Bonus Features for Further Enjoyment and Study
• Additional Bush Insider Interviews
• Bush Faith Statements from Speakers
• Historical Faith/News Documents
• Recommended Reading/DVD List
• Responses to Fahrenheit 9/11

Great DVD. A short but precise historical assessment of the faith of this great President. A great starting point for those interested in the origins of the religious aspects of American politics since its beginning.

This DVD is being distributed by Republicans in churches around the country. This film explains everything that most normal people do not understand when it comes to why so many people in America are so fervent, regardless of facts and reason, in their support of George Bush. Here I would agree with Bush on one of his debate claims. This country badly needs an upgrade in its educational system. In an educated country a film like this could never be taken seriously. And neither could our "divine" leader.
One of the highlights of the film as described by Frank Rich of the New York Times:
"A towheaded child actor bathed in the golden light of an off-camera halo re-enacts the young George comforting his mom after the death of his sister; it's a parable anticipating the future president's miraculous ability to comfort us all after 9/11."
Are they serious? Yes, they are.
"As for the actual president, he is shown with a flag for a backdrop in a split-screen tableau with Jesus. The message isn't subtle: they were separated at birth."
This is a documentary that is specifically made to rebuff Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11"? Moore's film was called by Republicans anything, but a documentary. This is apparently what is considered documentary in conservative circles.
Is it a bit scary that our country's policies are dictated by someone who interprets the Bible literally and considers himself an infallible prophet? And we wonder why he won't admit any of his many undeniable errors? When asked directly about his mistakes during the 2nd debate our "prophet" laughed the question off with a vague statement about some appointments he made, to which any normal person should have had a reaction nothing short of astonishment at the chutzpah that old George possesses.
The conclusion one comes to from this film is scary indeed. We are lead by a Christian version of a fanatical Muslim cleric in our crusade (jihad) against the rest of the world. Anyone who stands in the way is a heretic.
No wonder every attempt to reason with Bush's supporters fails miserably. As Frank Rich writes in his review of the film, "Facts on the ground in Iraq don't matter. Rational arguments mustered in presidential debates don't matter. Logic of any kind is a nonstarter. The president - who after 9/11 called the war on terrorism a "crusade," until protests forced the White House to backpedal - is divine."
