Talking to David Kuo yesterday reminded me of the heartfelt appeal and radical character of President Bush's original faith-based initiative. It wasn't an agenda to promote faith. It was an agenda to help the poor.
That is what attracted Kuo to join the White House office charged with leading the initiative when it was created four years ago. And that is driving Kuo to speak out now against what he sees as a governmental commitment largely unfulfilled, 'a whisper of what was promised.'"
