LONG ANSWER:
Like a lot of people who come out of A.A., George Bush has a new self-righteous "born-again" mindset. Now that he is "clean and sober" and, better yet, has a "personal relationship" with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, George thinks that his actions are beyond reproach. No on can question his motives or criticize his ethical lapses. He is now "saved" and wears this label as a badge of honor. No matter how vile and selfish his actions may appear, we should all cut him some slack and take his word that he is a good Christian who would never lie, cheat, steal, etc. Of course, while he was President he had plenty of people on his staff who could do these things for him, so he could keep a (somewhat) clear conscience. Even today he has plenty of people at Fox News who praise his name and tell him how wonderful he was.
Bush was the perfect front-man for a corrupt administration. He was too dumb to comprehend the crimes committed in his name, and he was too arrogant to believe that his friends and political allies were simply using him as a stooge. Bush is "saved" and therefore can do no wrong.
By any objective or unobjective measure you want to use, George Bush was a lousy Christain. That people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell praised his "faith" and "values" only reflects on their own self-righteous arrogance and pride.
