Pastor Eugene Robinson, an openly gay Episcopal pastor with a partner, is giving the first inaugural invocation at a ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial. Rev. Rick Warren said some very positive things things about this. While I am not certain about it, I heard an interview with Pastor Robinson that indicated that he has known that he was giving this first invocation for weeks. This seems to me to be a demonstration of what you all are talking about: Obama understands Machiavelli. I rather hope that Rev. Warren changes his mind on homosexuals. This would be a great thing, I think, because he does seem to be one of the few ministers from the extreme right who actually lives what he preaches. He has tremendous "street cred" with that group of people that might translate into more acceptance.
