"A eulogy is not the place to make the kind of sneering attack that Ron made against President Bush. I don't care whose eulogy it is."

Ok, let's critique the remark. (It was a beautiful eulogy in my opinion by the way. )
I believe this to be what all the fuss is about. Correct me if I am wrong.
Ron said: "Dad was also a deeply, unabashedly religious man. But he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage. True, after he was shot and nearly killed early in his presidency, he came to believe that God had spared him in order that he might do good. But he accepted that as a responsibility, not a mandate. And there is a profound difference. "
What am I missing? How is this a slap at Bush? Are folks suggesting that Pres Bush wears his religion on his sleeve for political advantage? I don't see this from Pres. Bush. Though I do see it in some politicians as Ron has suggested.
So exactly how is it that this remark has been construed by many, including yourself apparently, a slap at Pres. Bush? Connect the dots for me if you will.
thanks in advance
Perhaps you should watch Dateline tonight and maybe Ron will personally explain it for you. If HE says that's how he meant it, will you still deny that's what he meant?
When Ron P. said what he said, I knew what he meant.
As I say, tune in and maybe he'll spell it out for you.
