Scandals Take Toll on Bush

President Bush has claimed more than once that he is divinely led by God and is doing God's will. But the proof is in the pudding. Look at the people who surround and advise our president and see how Godly their influences are:

His very top advisor, Karl Rove, is being investigated for possible treason,
Cheney's no-bid contract with Halliburton is plagued with over charging the gov't by millions of $$$, mismanagement of funds, the firing of the head of a department for investing the no-bid contract as illegal, (to name a few),
House Leader DeLay indicted on money laundering charges (to name a few)
Senate Leader Frist investigated for illegal insider trading,
Bush's spiritual advisor and friend, Pat Robertson, claiming we should assassinate, (murder), a democratically elected leader, (and we are spreading democracy in the world)
(this reminds me of a saying: "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are")
the debacle in Iraq,
the Downing Street Memos showing Bush did manipulate intelligence to support the war, (if God so divinely led him, why did he have to lie about the facts?),
his policies to unprotected the environment for corporate gain,
his policies to ignore the poor and elderly, (remember he stayed on vacation and partying in San Diego until 3 days after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast as did VP Cheney, as did Condi Rice, least we forget),
his policies to promote his cronies who are unqualified for the high and important offices he assigned them to and then blame others when they fail in their jobs,
his banning of war photos of combat, coffins and head counts of America's maimed and Iraqi civilians dead...

All this makes me say that perhaps Mr. Bush did hear a calling. But in looking closely at the facts, perhaps what he heard was not God's will but maybe just his own. I think God would do a better job, don't you?
