I can't find out whom you call 10 key faith leaders. Who are they?

Now what about the top 10 community leaders? Or has Obama surrounded himself by religious leaders?

Thanks for this story. I found it informative and helpful. I'm delishted to see some of those listed included, and a bit surprised at some of the others.

Keep up the great work.

I find it kind of sad that the president has the need for any "faith leader" at all. I would think that a man in his position would be able to make his own mind up about such matters without any help at all. Just what do these people do that would help a president make decisions about his secular office that couldn't be worked out with his usual cadre of advisors.... and why is a religious perspective of value? Of course, I think the seperation of church and state is critical to our success as a nation, as it has worked fine for over 230 years, so the office of faith based initiatives is, in my mind, unconstitutional, and should be abolished. And these folks can head right on out with the rest of them.
