One of the reasons I found Barack Obama so attractive was for a possible return to honest government returned to the White House. This morning I learned that Obama will continue the faith-based grants started in 2000 by President Bush.
This is against the first Amendment barring the federal government from promoting any religion. So it seems that pandering to the Evangelicals is more important than the Bill of Rights. Hopefully by 2012 we can find a Candidate who works through the Constitution and panders to no one. I am dropping my support for Obama with sadness. I might have to drop my citizenship unless our government starts living by the Constitution.
