Old Toad Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 President Barack Obama plans to appoint Joshua DuBois, a 26-year-old Pentecostal pastor and political strategist who handled religious outreach for the Obama campaign, to direct a revamped office of faith-based initiatives, according to religious leaders who have been informed about the choice. The office, created by President George W. Bush by executive order at the start of his first term, is likely to have an even broader mandate in the Obama White House, said the religious leaders, who requested anonymity because the appointment had yet to be announced. The White House declined to comment. Renamed the Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the office will not merely oversee the distribution of grants to religious and community groups but will also look for other ways to involve those groups in working on pressing social problems.

Steve D'Ippolito Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hmmm.... so if Obama IS being treated as a God, AND the Office of Faith Based Initiatives is being revamped.... It'll become an office for doing what God says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
