I don't believe Warren actually endorsed Obama, but he certainly gave that impression by the way he straddled the fence.

It was a major contrast to Rev. Billy Graham who took out full page advertisements in the Sunday before the 2012 election to leave no doubt about where he stood. I respect Rev. Graham for that.

I also welcome Rick Warren to the fight, even as a Johnny-Come-Lately, and whatever his motives are.

Thanks for the clarification. To be “influential” one needs to be out front leading, not following.

He did give the invocation at Obama's first inauguration. Mighty big fence to straddle there.

I’m not sure how removing Mormonism from the cult page of their site, purely for political reasons, is all that respectable though.
