BO's Religious Faith Based Programs
by esox

What is up with BO calling for expansion of Bush's pet project of federally funding religious based social programs?

This on the heels of BO stating he will vote YEA on the FISA wire tapping bill that will give both Bush and the telecom companies immunity from prosecution.

Even though they blatantly did violate the Constitution. Which BTW no one in the MSM will cover, nor on the Fray.

But I digress.

The faith based initiatives of Bush are primarily going to southern evangelical outreach programs. And this IMHO was just a pay off to them for supporting Bush in 2000 and 2004.

Perhaps, and this is a long shot here, just perhaps BO is now pandering to the religious right?

Considering that Jimmy Boy Dobson was just recently quoted saying:

I think he’s deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own world view, his own confused theology,”

Then went on to accused Obama of having a “fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution.”

Is it possible that BO is the master politician by calling for expansion of Bush's faith based programs?

Is BO just bribing the evangelicals with promises of more money than Bush?

If that is the case then BO is far superior to HRC in his devious planning and usurping of issues. But should BO fail then it will be seen for what it is...mere pandering.
