It will be up to President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team whether Pastor Rick Warren’s prayer at the inauguration is vetted in advance, a spokeswoman for Warren’s Saddleback Church tells CNSNews.com.
The spokeswoman would not say whether Warren would object to having his prayer reviewed or edited in advance by Obama.

From Warren’s collective to Obama’s collectivists this oughta be real interesting.
Hmmm...so PEBO (President-Elect Barak 0bama) may censor religious speech?
“The spokeswoman would not say whether Warren would object to having his prayer reviewed or edited in advance by Obama.”
I hope he objects - does this Kenyan want him or not? Trust him to be respectful or not? Show boating or not? We will see...it would be very disrespectful to “review” a work like this...
Wonder how many gods he will have to acknowledge?
Merry Christmas
How do you vet a prayer? To see if there is no conflict as to whom Warren means when he says, “God”?
Interesting. Sort’ve puts Obama on the spot to do the right thing ( or not)
Warren is playing it right thus far in my opinion.
now lets see what Obama does and what Warrens invocation sounds like.
Let those with eyes see and those with ears hear the results.
Well, it is his inauguration. He wouldn’t want someone to mention anything “controversial” unless it’s based in Liberalism. Funny though. What would happen if they reviewed his speech/prayer, approved it, and then he gave something completely different? Would they have someone tackle Warren, or just clench jaws and “endure” it?
And any guesses if the name of Jesus Christ is even used in Warren's speech? I figure Obama won't have to review Warren's words... they won't be threatening to him in any substantial way...
Rick Warren is already one of the most politically correct Pastors out there so I don’t expect him to deliver anything but a politically correct prayer.
In any event, ‘Pastor’ Warren will do as his ‘congregant’ tells him to do beacuse Rick wouldn’t risk losing the ‘attention position’.
Sources on this? I may not know as much about Warren as I should....?
In search of . . . gr0vit0s.
Pastor Warren,
Will you obey God rather than men?
Somebody better keep an eye on that Lincoln Bible to make sure it hasn’t been hollowed out and a koran put between the covers. Or will there be a koran on microchip slipped in the pages? I can’t believe there isn’t going to be a koran in there somewhere, somehow.
If B. Hussein is going to let Elizabeth Alexander cite from her uncensored poem, “The Venus Hottentot,” then he should NOT censor Rick Warren. Ms. Alexander’s Venus Hottentot goes like this:
“Her genitalia will float inside a labeled pickling jar . . . “
“Monsieur Cuvier investigates between my legs, poking, prodding . . . “
“Since my own genitals are public I have made other parts private.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if Warren acknowledged Buddha and Allah in the “prayer” before inauguration.
Now in the name of political correctness we are censoring prayers.
