Christian ministers challenging IRS rules Friday, August 22, 2008

They want to challenge a federal law and I.R.S. rules that say churches may lose their tax exemptions, if their ministers endorse political candidates.

Payday loans couldn’t buy that much ego in the Oval Office, could they? Yet it will be a Cabinet for the ages. What I’m talking about is President-elect Barack Obama’s picks for Cabinet. They’ve been announced, and critics are wondering how he’s going to manage such a strong group. “I’m a believer in strong personalities and strong opinions,” said Obama, and he’s going to get all of that. National security and economic policy teams will be led by political veterans who are used to being number one. As far as matters of national security go, Obama will team Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Vice President Joe Biden, retired four-star Marine Gen. Jim Jones as national security adviser and four-star Gen. David Petraeus as chief of U.S. Central Command. The economic team Obama has put together is also impressive: National Economic Council head Larry Summers, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker as the lead of Obama’s economic recovery advisory board. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been described as “hard-charging,” adding another strong personality into a governing mix that could be volatile if Obama proves unable to rein them in with a firm, pragmatic hand. Like a payday loan that takes a bite out of a budgeting battle, Obama is poised to glean wisdom from this powerful group. He may be looking to further build upon the Democratic Party’s recent gains, but if he’s going to do so, he’ll have to be able to go toe-to-toe with a roomful of political giants.
