Bush speaks for God
David Domke and Kevin Coe in Beliefnet discuss President Bush's approach to God versus other presidents' approaches.The difference, they say, is that most presidents have petitioned God in their speeches. Bush speaks for God. As an example, they give a claim he made in 2003: "Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to humanity." This is not a request for divine favor; it is a declaration of divine wishes.
