Obama Invites Rick Warren

Barack Obama has invited Pastor Rick Warren to speak at his presidential inauguration. Gay rights activists have protested the invitation, since Warren supported Prop 8 (the same sex marriage ban) in California. Warren is one of the most popular super-church preachers in the country--Obama and rival John McCain were interviewed during the campaign by Warren at his Saddleback Church--and Obama claimed to be against gay marriage during the interview. However, gay activists point out that they worked long and hard to get Obama elected and expect some sort of payback. See Chick's PAYBACK.
