The Long Road to Change: Inauguration

Description

It's going to take some advanced mental yoga to justify Obama's choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation speech at his inauguration. Without further ado, let's let John Sherffius put it in perspective: <img src="{att_link}crjsh081218.gif" align="center" class="frame" caption="John Sherffius: Obama's Inaugural Program"> As if a ridiculous level of homophobia wasn't enough---he's compared <iq>gay marriage to incest, polygamy, and pedophilia</iq>---he's also strongly anti-abortion and supports the repeal of Roe vs. Wade. Can you feel the progressive change? Can ya? Granted, he's not as singularly bad as other evangelicals since his organizations have a strong focus on fighting poverty and disease as well. Whereas that's wonderful for him and the people he helps, Obama could have chosen among countless others with similarly generous resumes who aren't raging bigots.
