"Obama's Religion Ambassador: Inexperienced?"
Trent Gilliss, senior editor
In today’s Religion Dispatches, Anthea Butler, a former guest on this program, writes a vigorous critique of President Obama’s choice for Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom:
“Dr. Sujay’s [Rev. Dr. Suzan D. Johnson Cook] resumé, with no discernible international policy experience, her close ties to the Clinton administration, and several ill-defined business ventures, suggest that President Obama cares little about supporting religious freedom around the world. … Yet her friend, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, lauded her as ‘an experienced religious leader with a passion for human rights and an impressive record of public service.’ Coming from the Secretary of State, that is high praise indeed. Yet praise is not enough to turn a motivational preacher into a cogent, respected ambassador for religious freedom.”
