Jesus Christ is the God-man. God manifest in human flesh (1Ti 3:16, John 1:1,12-14), the 2nd Person of the Holy Triune God, who lived the perfect life for me (that I can't live as a lawbreaker), and suffered and died as he paid the penalty for my sins that I would otherwise have to pay. My faith is in Jesus Christ as my Savior since I know I can never earn or deserve eternal life on my own (being a lawbreaker and all). I am His and He bought me at a great price, and my desire is to abide in Him and live a Holy life IN ALL I DO (INCLUDING MY VOTE) out of gratitude and love for Him who first loved me. Faith alone by grace alone in Christ alone.

Glad to hear that. Honestly. Are you a very happy person? If so, then you might show it at some point. GWB is a great Christian brother of yours (you said he wasn't) and has said Jesus Christ, as Son of God, is his personal Lord and Savior. George Washington never once publicly said that that I've ever seen (a lot of talk about "the Almighty", etc., but nothing about Christ being his personal Lord and Savior). I'd love to be proven wrong though. Don't think I ever will be on this though.

Again, you said that Washington said he wasn't a Christian. Provide the proof or retract your assertion. The evidence is quite overwhelming for Washington that he was a genuine Christian as I pointed out. He did not need to explicitly state Jesus was God. He was not a preacher. He simply lived the life, walked the walk, and talked the talk, and all who knew him closely said he was a Christian. That is alot of evidence, and there is no basis for you to doubt his Christianity whatsoever.

Provide evidence for your assertion or retract it. This is my last request.

Anyone can SAY they are a Christian. That doesn't making one a Christian any more than going to McDonald's makes one a hamburger. Some of Bush's actions and words are not consistent with his professed faith in Christ. He praised a gay church (oops), and he said that Muslims and Christians worship the same God (oops!). Any excuses for that?

I am very unhappy with the governance of this nation, and the moral freefall into total depravity on every social and government level. I make no bones about it.
