OK, technically not #1 since I wanted Hillary to be president (There, I said it. I'm sick and tired of feeling ashamed of it and refuse to be any longer) but that's another matter entirely. Open any newspaper to read about Obama's pick of Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration. Salon.com's coverage, as usual, is very good.
From Mike Madden's piece: "Obama and Warren have often used each other to demonstrate that they'll be willing to listen to people they disagree with -- and yes, also to let everyone know that they'll be willing to anger their friends. This isn't one of those political controversies that pop up out of nowhere without warning; whether they want to admit it or not, it seems Obama's advisors brought on this fight with his own supporters knowing full well what was coming."
It's up to Mr. Obama if he wants to listen to people he disagrees with and up to the rest of us if we chose not to. All I seem to hear right now is the slap in the face so many people just got.
