I have a theory. I believe that what we say about or to people can either bless them or curse them (Christianese). He had so many negative remarks made, hateful remarks made, by both dems and pubs, to him and about him that they became a curse to him. How many people prayed for him to overcome those remarks. It would tire anyone out.
I know that I started praying for the president, whomever he was, early in Clinton’s first term. I’m sure Bush had the prayers of millions. I really can’t explain what happened to him, He just became a Beltway person either from desire or osmosis.
