Duh!

Former Deputy Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, David Kuo, has criticized President Bush's dedication to his own faith-based initiatives.

David Kuo... said in published remarks that the White House reaped political benefits from the president's promise to help religious organizations win taxpayer funding to care for "the least, the last and the lost" in the United States. But he wrote: "There was minimal senior White House commitment to the faith-based agenda."

Duh! How can Evangelicals be so gullible? Can't they see that Bush has been playing them for political fools?

Kuo isn't the first White House official to criticize Bush on this issue. Former director of the same office, John J. DiIulio Jr, was the first Bush advisor to quit.

In an interview with Esquire magazine a year later, DiIulio said the Bush White House was obsessed with the politics of the faith-based initiative but dismissive of the policy itself, and he slammed White House advisers as "Mayberry Machiavellis." (emphasis supplied)

Duh!

Get a clue, Evangelicals. President Bush doesn't give a flying rodent's backside about your pet projects. You're nothing more than convenient political pawns who are easily manipulated by sweet little lies because you are so freakin' gullible it's not funny.
