Who is Jim Wallace? He is Barak Obama's new spiritual advisor.
He was raised in a devout Plymouth Brethren household, but broke with the Church at 14 over its failure to commit to political causes. Wallis went on to join and then lead the militant Sutdents for a Democratic Society, at Michigan State University. After colllege, he went on to attent Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinios where he joined with other your seminaries in establishing the community that eventually became Sojourner. In 1979, Time magazine named Wallis one of the "50 Faces for America's Future".
Why, you may ask?
In 1977 Wallis moved his radical Sojourner community, to Washington DC, specifically to a small district named Columbia Heights, only a mile from the White House. Meanwhile, many of Wallis' old SDS comrades had founded a new Marxist organization with some older Communist Party veterens, patriotically named the New American Movement. In 1982, NAM, in turn, merged with the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee to form Democratic Socialists of America. THE NEW ORGANIZATION TOOK PENETRATION OF ORGANIZED RELIGION VERY SERIOUSLY, IMMEDIATELY FORMING A RELIGIOUS AND SOCIALIST COMMISSION."

So it would appear that the religious left has arrived much like their deminishing religious right counterparts. However, instead of the religious right saying government should restrict abortion and gay marriage in the name of morality, the religious left is now saying that government has the right to force us buy health insurance in the name of morality. As a society we have a moral responsibility to see to it that government demands a redistribution of wealth to help the poor because this is the will of God. Both the religious right and religious left have no problem with using the authoritarian means of government to achieve their goals. In fact, Wallis was quoted as saying that private donations to the poor was woefully lacking. Only with government intervention can we see any meaningful "charity" to the poor.
So is God telling Barak Obama to do his bidding by implementing Marxist-like policies? Specifially, is God mandating Barak to seek to redistribute wealth at any oppurtunity to the poor? If so, is there anything wrong with this?
