Obama chooses Rick Warren

[Enigma]

What the gay community is attempting to do is turn this in to a civil rights issue. Is it really a civil right issue? I think not.

"A couple of years ago, I was invited to Rick Warren's church to speak, despite his awareness that I held views that were entirely contrary to his when it came to gay and lesbian rights, when it came to issues like abortion," he said. "Nevertheless, I had an opportunity to speak. And that dialogue, I think, is part of what my campaign's been all about -- that we're not going to agree on every single issue, but what we have to do is to be able to create an atmosphere where we can disagree without being disagreeable and then focus on those things that we hold in common as Americans." -Barack Obama

That's podium speak for: "Liberals. I know this upsets some of you, and I don't care". And frankly, I agree with him.
