I was rather surprised at President-To-Be Obama's choice to give the invocation at his inauguration. Don't get me wrong, I have a great deal of respect for Rick Warren. What I am questioning are the motives behind the choice. Mr. Obama has never struck me as one to put a lot of trust in God. He is by far, one of the smoothest politicians of our generation. His choice of Rick Warren has inflamed the gay community and is seemingly at odds with his stance on many of the social issues of the day.
Tell me what you think - is he genuinely reaching out to the "Christian Right" at the expense of the gay community or is this simply another political ploy designed to smooth things over?
