I'm going to save my feelings of betrayal for when he actually does something I don't agree with after actually becoming president. There seems to be a lot of shock going around that Obama is actually a politician, which is kind of
Rick Warren has done a lot of good, even if I disagree with him on some things. I'm sure his choice was, in part, political. It's a method for Obama to build political capital by reaching out to a certain kind of evangelical Christian.
The message resonates with me as a Christian in a way that may not be intended. My denomination has within it people who approach the religion from very different places, and come to very different conclusions, so much so that is has caused a schism in the church. For me it is important that one be able to practice religion with those one disagrees with. And given that Rev. Joe Lowery is also participating, I'd say Obama has pretty wide spectrum.
Still, this is a total kick in the teeth for the LGBT community, which is already is a pretty bad place right now.
