the real purpose of the [White House's] faith-based office has more to do with politics than with helping the poor. Politicians in both parties are using the office to influence religious leaders. Most religious leaders, liberal and conservative, are lapping it up like so many Esau's selling their birthrights for a bowl of soup. Here, have another heaping helping of easy money and loose accountability.
Not everyone thinks this is such a good idea.

The White House office for faith-reated initiatives is still around in the Obama era, and still highly problematic.
