Rationalization

No matter how President-Elect Obama tries to spin it; the choice of Rick Warren is an insult to GLBT community not to mention the reality based community. The president-elect can couch this in all the bipartisan, all-inclusive language that he likes the reality is it is still a very bad idea and encourages hate speech and division and treats all ideas as equal; the reality is they are not all equal and not everyone deserves equal time.

My disappointment grows with each rationalization given.

What the HELL is he thinking???

The announcement today that Rick Warren will participate in the Obama inaugural has me completely flabbergasted. What the HELL was he thinking?? I know Obama wants to be all inclusive but shouldn't that include those whose beliefs are also all-inclusive? Why go right for the BIGOT? I am disappointed beyond belief.

I thought this administration was supposed to be about change? Adding Rick Warren to the list of speakers is not change it's more of the same bigotry and hatred.

President-elect Obama I expected more of you.

To quote Atrios, " Aside from the bigot part, Rick Warren, is you know, a liar'."
