President-elect Barack Obama has asked the Bishop of the Episcopalian Church, the Right Reverend V. Gene Robinson, to give a prayer at his inauguration. This decision comes after he chose Rick Warren to offer prayer.  This seems like a smart move for Obama.  Smart, because he could quiet the uproar that was caused among the gay-community when he chose Rick Warren.  They did not like the choice of Rick Warren because he supported Proposition 8.  8 eliminated the right for same-sex couples to marry in the state of California.

My Thoughts And Yours

*Attention* This is your chance to leave a comment: Since this could be a touchy issue I want to handle the “dumb” question with care.  Is it a dumb move by the future president to have another person, regardless of sexual orientation, to pray at his inauguration just to appease an offended group of people?
