Here's a compromise on Rick Warren.
Advertisements [?]
So Obama doesn't want to make a big scene and uninvite Rick Warren. Yet, at the same time, by maintaining the invitation, he insults all of his gay and lesbian supporters.

Here's a compromise proposal, which would really underline the idea that Obama wants to be inclusive to all points of view.

Let Rick Warren deliver his invocation at the Inauguration, but follow him up immediately with another prayer....

...from Bishop Gene Robinson.

Inviting the openly gay Anglican bishop would not only show that Obama embraces all points of view, but also would emphasize that the religious right does not have a monopoly on faith in this nation, and that all are welcome in our society.

Thoughts?
