Pat Robertson “Pleased With Obama” (Video)

By Evan Derkacz
December 25, 2008

Obama’s early choices seem to have resonated with the religious right thus far.

It's just "Pat."

There are numerous reasons why Pat Robertson (who, incidentally, hasn’t been a “Reverend” for 20 years now) might embrace an Obama Administration. He may have an actual affinity for his early choices or maybe he’s caught a whiff of the money he may receive from Obama’s extension of Bush’s Faith-Based Initiatives, which proved a windfall for the “right” religious orgs.
