A thoughtful post from "Rascal" over at FADG:
Message 18649703
Just catching up.
When I posted the article my feeling was that it explained 2 things which bother me most about this Administration.
My discomfort with President Bush appearing:

#1 Uncurious

#2 Incompetent

The article shows me the "process" he uses for decisions.
Get question, pray/meditate, give answer, move on (have no further doubts or need to reconsider question).

President Bush's reliance on the religious explains to me why he seems to make such quick unstudied decisions and then stick to them regardless of any contradictory facts.

It explains his strange consistency to his version of the world. And why it is often required that he change the "reasons" for his decisons/objectives. He doesn't concern himself about "how". He is only concerned about "what" and sometimes "when". His "why" is always the same.

It explains why he sleeps well and according to reports does not agonize over decisions. He is uninterested or troubled about what-if scenarios. He is always confident about his decided course of action.

He might as well get a Ouija board or use Nancy Reagan's astrologer.

I wish his "calling" was for almost anything else but being in "Higher Office".

I know we all knew about the religion in his life.
It had not occured to me that his religion dominated EVERY aspect of his personal and political life. Other Presidents built firewalls between these two aspects as they served. Apparently President Bush needs no such discipline.
