Did the show say that he says that or that others believe it?
I for one tend to believe that at the very least President Bush and President Reagan both are/were very much favored by God.
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".
I tend to believe that God uses everyone on Earth to do His work. I also believe that God doesn't play favorites. The unbelievers cannot "hear" God. God could be getting their attention with a little robin chirping in the tree. To unbelievers, it's just a little robin chirping in the tree.
