We understand Barack Obama's "team of rivals" cabinet strategy, but why is he giving the stage at his inauguration to a bigot who Scanner Brian has pointed out lately to be a "Christian nutjob" who, "favors assassination"? And may we add, actively hates gay people.
Politico reports Reverend Rick Warren, a key component of California's Prop 8 (or hate) campaign, will be performing the invocation at Obama's inauguration. Off course, this pissed off a lot of people:
“Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGBT Americans,” the president of Human Rights Campaign, Joe Solomonese, wrote Obama Wednesday. “[W]e feel a deep level of disrespect when one of architects and promoters of an anti-gay agenda is given the prominence and the pulpit of your historic nomination.”
Obama's trying to throw the religious conservatives a bone, but did he have to pick this big fat evangelical dick?
We can only hope someone throws a shoe at Reverend Rick this January.
Also: Obama might be considering closing gays completely out of his cabinet. Wall Street Journal reports.
