OK, so if you mean it in that sense, then it tells us nothing about Bush himself. It doesn't confer any obligation on us to respect him any more than Clinton or Carter.

Right. But we respect him more as a person because he is living for Christ, and honoring God with his life.

Those of us who share his faith, understand where it comes from, and see it manifest in his life. He is our brother, and we honor him and pray for him as such, and know that God gave us a righteous leader for this time in history (perhaps the last one was to teach us a lesson and get us involved in the political process.....we don't know the mind of God).

That's why he doesn't have to dot every i of our political wishes (which he doesn't, btw) to maintain our respect. Big picture.
