Carter is a "good" Baptist, by all accounts, and walks with Jesus. However, he was a terrible president. Neatly demonstrating that devout Christianity doesn't necessarily lead to being a good President. So Bush's devoutness (which I will not question) doesn't guarantee it either.

JMO but President Carter never seemed to like being president and wasn't a strong leader.

The idea of our president being a Christian is reassuring and doesn't frighten me.

First Mr. Bush was attacked for not being an "elected" president. That didn't work so the media tried to portray him as dumb. They underestimated him once again. Now they seem to be trying to brand him as a lunatic. With China now saber rattling I wonder what else can happen on his watch. I disagree with him on a few things but overall I am amazed at how well he has done. I feel that we need to keep praying and ask God for even more Christian leaders.

The concept of the President being a Christian doesn't frighten me, either. As far as I can tell, every President we've had has been a Christian of one sort or another. What does frighten me is when people presume that someone's being a publicly professing Christian means that they're likely to be a good leader. The case of Jimmy Carter seems to show that this is invalid.
