I find it a little presumptive, to decide that of course, it couldn't
possibly be "God" speaking, that it must instead be a "hallucination".
I find it interesting that anyone puts a limit on God.
Of course, you apparantly don't believe in "God", so limiting Him isn't
an issue for you, is it?
Now, please don't take this to mean that I agree that God talked to
Bush. Just saying that I wouldn't presume to say he didn't. I don't
know. He appeared to speak through a burning Bush, once, so
anything's possible.
Of course, if you don't believe in God, you probably don't believe that
little story, either...

Bush said he heard god talk to him and tell him what to do as he was
walking
outside in the driveway, if I remember correctly, of the White House.
He
went on to describe the "exact words" god used to tell him what to do.
Of course, lots of ex-druggie/dry alcoholics hear voices, so he
probably
did. Auditory hullucinations aren't all the uncommon for them.

I welcome Palin as a candidate, too. She brings even more
diversity-it's a
real test.
As to God speaking directly to the president, realize that many
Presidents
have claimed such-that's what a "personal relationship" with God means.
It
is an inherent Christian belief that people can talk/pray to God and
that
God will will speak back...maybe in a whisper, maybe in an action,
maybe as
a lightning bolt, maybe as the voice of your conscious, but that he
will
speak back. George Bush didn't invent that..(Al Gore did<G>)

All zealots are dangerous and must therefore be protected against. The
god-driven terrorism worldwide is proof for anyone with an open mind
that while a god-of-choice may well cause a happier life, that must be
a personal condition, not public.
I welcome Palin as a candidate. She will cause the god stuff to be
more fully discussed.
