Obama must be doing something right when he is able to piss off both his supporters and the die hard extremists who believe him to be the Anti-christ and a Muslim.
By picking Rick Warren to give the invocation, Obama sends a message-a good one if you ask me-that says this nation has to work together despite its differences. Besides, since when did it become a political foul to ask someone to pray for you? I want all my readers to pray for me-every chance they get. I need the help.
The gay activists have it all wrong. Plus, like it or not, there are about were 52 million Americans who did not want Obama to be President. Obama knows that. I’d like to think too that he’s learned from Clinton’s mistake and will not allow him to be sidetracked by an issue that is of tertiary importance to most Americans. Sorry guys-its just the way it is. When the economic and foreign policy house is burning down around you-gay marriage is not issue number 1.
The response from evangelicals is what is more puzzling. Then again, maybe not. A significant subset of those folks actually believed that Sarah Palin was qualified to be President. Again, Obama ignores that at his peril -and say what you want, the man is not stupid.
So I think this is a great thing for both the President and for the country. Besides, I’ll probably be leaving for lunch about that time and miss the invocation anyway.
Like I said-much ado about nothing.
