[QUOTE=nuu faaola;2917668]I don't care for Warren's gay-marriage views, but there are certainly areas where he and Obama are aligned, particularly when it comes to anti-poverty and anti-AIDS efforts abroad. (Pretty good politics, too.)
Obama has always described himself as a "finder of common ground" or whatever, so using something like the invocation at his inauguration as an olive branch is a nice gesture, I think. It costs nothing and it might win some good will from a group not inclined to lend it to a Democrat.[/QUOTE]
Oh, its great politics, but at some point, he has to use the credibility he's gathered to drop the hammer down. If we get universal health care and the ability to refuse to hold hands with Saudi leaders I'll personally serve Rick Warren bacon wrapped twinkies while listening to his book on tape.:D
