People please December 31, 2008

Okay people.  I usually stay out of discussing politics because I can’t hold my own but this new “controversy” over Rick Warren saying the prayer at Obama’s inaguration has me dumb-founded.  So let me get this right:  the majority of America wanted someone in office that would change the way things are but when change means trying to get along with people that have different view points then we get our panties in a wad?  Boo hiss.  First off, there should be division between church and state. But, when we elect a Christian into office and it’s their ceremony, they should be able to have a blessing and whatever else they represent in their ceremony.  I think it is kick ass that Obama is having someone he disagrees with saying the blessing.  It shows maturity and open mindedness that hasn’t been present in the White House in at least 8 years.  What do we want, another puppet that will give us exactly what we think we want to hear?  With that said, I know little about Rick Warren.  What I do know, I don’t agree with but I respect that he has a right to believe whatever the heck he wants and I doubly respect a president who feels the same way.
