Under George Bush, the Executive Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships was established. In Obama's case, he never abolished it. Instead he appointed Joshua Dubois for the office. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_DuBois . Now, keeping the office is one thing, but it's entirely another to appoint a Pentecostal, let alone a Pentecostal of a church dedicated to black people. For those of you who are unaware of Pentecostal dogma, they are a branch of Christianity placing emphasis on spiritual experiences and spiritual gifts. Moreover, they revere charisma as a spiritual gift, hence its branch called Charismatic Christianity. Consequently, their preachers are often revered as messengers of God, substitute church and worship with rock concerts, preach the prosperity gospel, place emphasis on speaking in tongues, make outrageous claims of visiting a preacher for healing, and may think people who are having convulsions on the floor are communicating with God.

Joshua Dubois' appointment makes me question Obama's position on faith. I can hope he is a rational person, but this appointment raises suspicions as to whether he has really distanced himself from the likes of Reverend Wright.
