Obama always said he wanted EVERYONE under the tent.<br />

Do we really need to critisise everything he does already?<br />

Yes, I dislike Warren as much as the next guy.  But it's just a fucking prayer.<br />
<br />
I'm not ready to pitch my hope for a better future.

      <![CDATA[While I have long thought that inviting Robinson to take part is a good way out for Obama.  But I think Robinson needs to be up on that inauguration stage with Warren.  I don't see how having him conduct a minor service two days early and over two mile away from the actual events helps things.

      <![CDATA[Again no mention of Joseph E. Lowery, who has been giving the benediction since the beginning.<br />
<br />
"I differ with [Rick Warren] sharply on his position on this issue," Lowery told MSNBC's David Shuster. "I don't think we ought to put into law any discriminatory action against people because of race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. I oppose that. But that doesn't stop me from being on a program with him."

      <![CDATA[This is good news. <br />
<br />
Now will those driven batshit insane by the Warren invite please STFU and stop giving him undue power, influence, and respect (in Religious Right circles) and unnecessary press?<br />
<br />
Can we finally focus on the issues that will actually impact everyones lives, like righting the economy and extricating ourselves from that money-hole called Iraq? Can we now focus queer-activist-energy where it belongs--on issues that actually impact LGBT lives, like ENDA, DADTDP, and marriage equality?<br />
<br />
Again, this is good news. Let's look ahead and move on. Together.

      <![CDATA[It is a good thing when a politician makes a mistake, has a tin ear, about something and then finds a way to attempt to repair the damage.  It indicates a willingness to listen and respond rather than become defensive and shut down.  Rather than some foolish response like, say "I feel your pain,"  Obama's response sends me a message "I meant no harm and understand your perspective."<br />
<br />
This is a good thing.
