Julia, that is an excellent point! Big damned deal! A minister who does not pass the sniff-test with many Obama votaries will give the invocation at his inauguration...and everyone is going through the most ridiculous of philosophical contortions in order to rationalize it in some way as indicative of agreement, control acceptance, acquiescence or whatever between Rev. Warren and Mr. Obama.

Mr. Obama's agenda of change is insufficiently iconoclastic for many of the [progressive | liberal | left-leaning] who voted for him, and now they present that deer-in-the-headlights look as they realize that the change promised - or at least the change they uncritically assumed was promised - fails to materialize to the degree they think it should.

Personally, I am absolutely astounded that otherwise intelligent people are allowing themselves to be completely distracted and wrapped around the axle over something that, in a couple of months, will not be anything but a sub-footnote in the continuing narrative of presidential history.
