Re: Obama to expand faith based programs

Well, we all knew the Obama campaign would eventually reveal the zipper on the back of its suit...

Obama's trying to broaden his base. As McCain is so mistrusted by the xtians, it's the perfect opportunity to extend a cheap olive branch to all those lapsed Dixiecrats to come back to the party of FDR.

In all this exuberance over Obama, everyone needs to remember that he is an Xtian, he identifies with them. Being that America is so chock full of 'em, this doesn't have to mean it's a bad thing that he can communicate with them. If he can draw the country away from the crazy-ass neocon right-wing oligarchy model of political thinking and back towards a more rational course, even a compromised one, would be something. We haven't seen much in the way of progressive government in the USA lately, and that's an understatement.

It's a big motherfucker of a ship to turn around. The captain might have to pander to the crew for a while to make sure the whole damn boat doesn't run aground. Cynical, opportunistic politics? Well, no doubt. It's been the way of Washington for a long time... I doubt it's gonna change overnight (as anyone who gave the Carter administration a chance can tell you).
