Jesus was not asked the way of salvation when he gave the parable of the good samaritan. He was asked (Luke 10:29 NIV) "And who is my neighbor?". Jesus then asked which of the three was a neighbor. After receiving the correct answer, he said "Go and do likewise."
This is what He said about salvation in (John 3:18 NIV) "Whoever believes in him (the Son) is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
I'm sure you already know what he said about the way to God; (John 14:6 NIV) "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Your question came from the young rich man who asked, (Matt 19:16 NIV) "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" And the answer? "If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.", and, paraphrasing, give up that which you treasure most. Then come and follow Jesus. Can anyone claim to have kept the commandments? Paul makes it clear that the commandments are intended to show us that we cannot do it with our own effort. We are dependent on God's gift. Did the thief on the cross do good works? Jesus told him "today you will be with me in paradise".
If you think good works, divorced from Christ, will save you, you've been misinformed. Although you charge Bush, you still give no specifics and continue to claim the authority to judge him. There is no answer for that.
