A Question of Faith

A former Bush administration official doubts the President's commitment to faith-based programs. David Kuo was President Bush's deputy director of Faith Based and Community Initiatives.

In an essay on beliefnet.com, Mr Kuo says he's "saddened" by the administration's failure to fully fund the initiative -- calling it only "a whisper of what was promised."

Mr Kuo's criticism is the latest from those in political-religious circles critical of the President preaching one thing but failing to deliver. In January, religous-political groups such as the Family Research Council and Focus on the Family flooded the White House switchboard with a coordinated complaint campaign after President Bush backed off on his support for an Amendment banning gay marriage.
