ZANESVILLE, Ohio — With an eye toward courting evangelical voters, Senator Barack Obama arrived here on Tuesday to present a plan to expand
on President Bush’s program of investing federal money in religious-based initiatives that are intended to fight poverty and perform community aid
work.
The fact is, the challenges we face today — from saving our planet to ending poverty — are simply too big for government to solve alone,” Mr.
Obama is expected to say, according to a prepared text of his remarks. “We need all hands on deck.”
So when Bush does it, it's unconstitutional, but when the great Hope" machine brings it up....
So How can he spin this to avoid the ire of leftists everywhere? (not that they won't turn a blind eye, hoping it's all lip service to get
elected)
Well, this is a way...
Now, I know there are some who bristle at the notion that faith has a place in the public square,” Mr. Obama intends to say. “But the fact
is, leaders in both parties have recognized the value of a partnership between the White House and faith-based groups.”
He thus embraced the heart of a program, established early in the Bush administration, that critics say blurs the constitutional separation of church
and state. Mr. Obama made clear, however, that he would work to ensure that charitable groups receiving government funds be carefully monitored to
prevent them from using the money to proselytize and to prevent any religion-based discrimination against potential recipients or
employees.
OOOOHHHHHH! Thats how. Hmmmmm, where are all you lefties on this one? I guess the truth is that the "Great Reconciler" can do no wrong.
