Bush saved from alcohol by Jesus

I was pleased to discover that my hometown was the place where are beloved President had a profound religious experience which caused him to quit drinking. Our former fraternity boy President with a fondness for beer and bourbon, turned teetotaler after a night of heavy drinking at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs, Colo., celebrating his 40th birthday. Bush ascribes this change to the power of prayer and his belief in Jesus Christ (and what was probably one hell of a hang-over after partying all night).
A more public expression of faith that provoked much discussion and some criticism was when asked during a campaign debate what ''political philosopher or thinker'' he most identified with, Bush responded: ''Christ, because he changed my heart.''
Prodded to say more, he continued, ''When you turn your heart and your life over to Christ, when you accept Christ as savior, it changes the heart and changes your life, and that's what happened to me.''

Without going into the whole question of the religious right, blah, blah, blah; am I the only one who finds it rather disconcerting that our President would cite Jesus as the POLITICAL philosopher or thinker he most identified with? I also find “Shrubbie’s” remark rather hypocritical since his actions in the Middle East have been far from Christ-like (in my opinion).
