Pro-Lifer To Give Obama Invocation

Item: Pro-Life Rick Warren to Give Invocation at Obama Inauguration/The Brody File

More Info: Pro-life pastor Rick Warren will give the invocation at President-Elect Barack Obama’s inauguration. It makes a whole lot of sense. Even though Warren and Obama disagree on the life issue, they do see eye to eye on many social justice issues. This move is also classic Obama because it is a signal to religious conservatives that he’s willing to bring in both sides to the faith discussion in this country. Obama has never shied away from that.

Question: What's your reaction to the fact that pro-life minister Rick Warren will deliver the invocation for pro-choice Barack Obama's inaugaration?
