Is George W. Bush Jesus?

Philip Greenspun explains:

Everyone I met in Turkey hates American foreign policy.  Nobody I met in Turkey hates Americans.  How is this possible?  It seems that George W. Bush is the Jesus Christ for our [American] times, taking all of our sins upon his shoulders.  The Turks with whom I spoke blamed George W. personally for all of the harm done by the 300 million people here in the U.S.  As far as I can tell, George W. never does anything except ride as a passenger from speaking venue to speaking venue.  Therefore, the things of which the Turks are complaining must have been done by at least some of the rest of us, yet W. personally gets 100% of the blame.

George W. does not simply follow Jesus.  He is Jesus.

I completely disagree. This president will drive this country in the ground. His biggest blunder? No - It isn't Irak, although it ranks high. His biggest blunder is not putting a firm and decise policy in place to make us indendent of foreign oil. Because oil dependency is why we fight these wars, and why we support Israel against all odds.
