Obama is a fraud!
Rick Warren represents the worst this country has to offer.
Obama is a social conservative who opposes gay rights and opposes abortion.
Obama is a REPUBLICAN Trojan horse.
What a slap in the face and what a hypocrite!
Watching these two pros use each other is worth the price of admission. Barack uses Warren to boost his standing with evangelicals and Warren gets more publicity, more book sales and more money. The interesting question is how Warren, who states that everyone other than believing Christians will be going to hell, will deliver a non-denominational invocation that doesn't offend anyone and doesn't overtly fulfill his duty to try to convert all the heathen in order to save everyone.
Cory right on!
Can't wait to see these OBAMA lovers wake up and say what the hell is going on?
I think both the right and the left hate the decision to include Rick Warren.
That might be a good sign.
I'd rather keep the unenlightened homophobes in the big tent of progressivism, where they can have exposure and maybe change their minds, than to continue to shun them, which is just plain dangerous.
Keep the dialogue going - and thereby keep your friends close and your soon-to-be friends closer.
