My theory is that the people who accuse Presidents of having psychological problems, have psychological problems. They kind of know they are being stupid and delusional, but they are sublimely indifferent to it.

Well, being human, they probably do. The question is whether a person's emotional and psychological baggage interferes with their job.
If Bush had simply been ethical, but recognized that there are other religions and viewpoints, there wouldn't be a problem. Looking at his positions on stem cells, abstinence-only education, intelligent design, etc, it seems that he cannot separate his personal beliefs with his policy beliefs.
It's obiously wonderful that he saved himself. What isn't is that he believes the exact same process and beliefs are right for 250 million other people. No other president seems to have had this problem.
