The show said that he says that, but I have not heard him say that, except from that mealy-mouthed Bob Woodward, who claimed in his book that Bush was appointed by God. This "Appointed by God" talking point stems from the Bob Woodward "hatchet job".
All I know is he said years ago that he felt "led" to run for President.
This was many years ago. To me, that is not the same at all.
I haven't seen Woodward's book.
Christians hope that through the guidance of Holy Spirit they will find the way God wants them to take, and follow it. It doesn't seem strange or freaky to me, just normal. To pray for guidance to follow the right path and do the right thing is the sign of a humble person.
