LeBuick said:Having given this thought, I see Obama choice of Warren as his way of helping the GOP broaden their horizon and obtain a more viable platform in the future of American politics. Most evangelical preachers only speak about two “hot-button” issues, abortion and g@y marriage. Warren is different and his selection by Obama may get him viewed as a political leader amongst evangelical clergy. Warren believes Christians have a duty to advocate for more than just abortion. He believes the Church should also focus on world poverty and social injustice. I think it’s a win-win for Obama and the evangelicals if he can get their leadership expand their view of moral atrocities and start addressing other issues like AIDS and poverty. This will allow both sides of the equation to ultimately benefit.
I don’t think many evangelicals will look past their hatred of Obama to see what he’s done for them, but this is really a good thing in the end. I watched this thread and noticed it didn't get as much interest as the Obama allowed a g@y band in the parade thread. Having a g@y band and an anti g@y clergy in the same program is truly a man trying to bring the nation together on common ground.
You know we have been hearing that for months now. I believe I disagree with Obama on EVERY issue he has ever taken a stand on. But he is going to be our new president. He appears to be doing the right thing here.Revmitchell said:Obama is not capable of helping the GOP broaden anything. He is not a uniter , he is not a centrist, he is playing politics.

Look I opposed Obama as much as anyone, but he won. He has my support until he looses it. The time for talk and campaign promises is over. Now we get to see what he does. I am scared about some of the things he might do, but I am willing to wait to see what he actually does before I jump on the bandwagon to condemn him.
The media talks about any new administration having a honeymoon period. Bush got it, Clinton got it. Lets give Obama a chance. Now six months from now I might be right here condemning Obama loudly, but I am willing to wait and see what he does first.
Revmitchell said:First, the term evangelicals has been high jacked by the left and really no longer represents main stream Christianity. Obama is not capable of helping the GOP broaden anything. He is not a uniter , he is not a centrist, he is playing politics.
Revmitchell said:We have his history to know what he will do. Sine he has not repudiated any of it we can count on all of his votes and all of his words to be his agenda.
