“I’ve got God’s shoulder to cry on, and I cry a lot.” In what Mr. Draper interpreted as a reference to war casualties, Mr. Bush added, “I’ll bet I’ve shed more tears than you can count as president.”

The quote is from a book review of "Dead Certain" a new book based on interviews with our President http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/02/washington/02book.html?pagewanted=2

No, this only shows that he is looking for sympathy for the war!

How do we know it was a reference to war casualties? It may have been due to a review of his latest approval ratings. If he really cared he would bring the troops home.
I think Bush is either a total lying hypocrite or a truly misguided idiot. My sympathy for him is not enhanced by this statement.

More clearly characterizes his weaknesses,I'd say ! Gotta have an imaginary friend to blame his short comings on. Most cowards use this tactic...! Fear is the strongest of the emotional attributes,few possess the ability to control their fear,and thus function in a more,shall we say, brave way !

god is in all. all things are created by god. because a peace of everybody is in god. therefore, anything on this earth that any one of us has created, was created by god. bush crying on gods shoulder would mean that he is crying on the shoulders of the whole world. crying would refer to a pouring out of the things that are in his heart. and on our shoulders, would mean that he is laying his burdens on us. he would be asking for us to hear what he is saying and to give a helping hand in the issues that he is laying before us. obviously, if he is crying out, then people are not hearing and helping, otherwise there would be no need to cry, we would simply be moving on to greater things. i can not do it alone, i need people who are skilled in many different trades. i do not know all things, help please.

It shows him to be what he is - a decent, honest, God-fearing man striving to do what is best for America and for the world.
The hatred displayed by the left-wingers on here is reprehensible and beneath contempt.

It means that Bush will never take responsibility for his own actions.

Yes, and it shows him in the right light. He is a much maligned hero. Think of the countless thousand of American lives he has saved by keeping the USA free of terrorist attack on home soil since 9/11. He is a great President who has compassion.
If ANY of you do not agree send me an e-mail and explain why, with FACTS.
