Does Bush think he's God?

God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy;
the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.
Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our king, sing praise.
Psalm 47: 6-7
 
This sounds a lot like the inauguration/coronation on 1/20.
 
"Inauguration does not do justice to the exuberant celebrations of this week. Coronation would come closer. Washington ended yesterday with nine official balls. The night before George Bush gave a new spin to the phrase moveable feast by fitting in three separate banquets. He then expended as much ordnance in peppering the sky over the Capitol with fireworks as would get his occupation forces in Iraq through a whole 24 hours."  Robin Cook in The Guardian
Fireworks in Washington, despair around the world,  
 
Cook continues: The contrasts between this uninhibited triumphalism and the real world are as wide as the American continent. One visible contrast was provided by the demonstrators camping out on the streets to protest at such extravagant waste by an administration waging its own jihad on programmes against poverty on the grounds that the federal budget cannot afford welfare. Yesterday, Bush gave a new spin on welfare cuts by presenting them as progress to an ownership society. The thousands of wealthy donors to the campaign to re-elect the president who turned up at those dinners adore this concept of an ownership society in which they get hefty tax cuts paid for by the poor who get their budgets cuts. 
 
Jesus said over and over that He came for the poor and lowly.  He said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven.  Jesus stood for truth, whereas Bush is a notorious liar.  Jesus stood for justice, while Bush is destroying civil rights and stacking the courts with his cronies.  Jesus is the Prince of Peace, Bush's address was a declaration of war against any nation, any time. 
 
Bush is guilty of the worst sort of blasphemy.  He  is claiming to represent the Holy Spirit, whereas in fact he represents the other guy. 
 
Mark 3:9,10 
I tell you the truth, all sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin."
 
In the name of the Prince of Peace,   Carol Wolman
