- Obama Has Tapped a Pentecostal Minister for Bush's Old Office of Faith-Based Initiatives (nytimes) - This bright young go-getter is of the same faith that Sarah Palin grew up in. (wiki Pentecostalism) - Obama just can't do enough pandering to evangenitals. Of all the qualified main-stream religious, was there not one person at least as well qualified for this job? Will this office bear the personal evangenital biases its youthful leader will likely bring with him? Will he and Obama together permit intolerant discrimination toward prospective employees and clients? Will they permit churches to proselytize at all while they tend to the program needs of their clients? Will they permit project churches to simply shift their financial allocations around so they will effectively have more money available for their general religious programs, thus further subsidizing the spread of denominational dogmas?
