We Have a Warren for Your Address! Is Rick Barack's Correct Invo Pick?
Fighting Irish Thomas ^ | 12-19-08 | Tom O'Toole

On the surface, something about Barack Obama picking Rick Warren to give his inauguration invocation seemed fishy. I mean, Warren was the man responsible for one of Obama's few (and perhaps biggest) campaign faux pas, when he made Barack look silly last summer trying to answer the question "When does life begin?" But then I realized that Barack, brilliant politician that he is, was using his special reverse "If I can't beat him, join ME!" psychology, already duping Warren and many of his on-the-surface Christians into his camp for the next election. However, while I predict this pick for Obama will fit Obama just perfectly, I see one potential problem in the strategy for Warren. Namely, donuts.

I think it’s a “populist” type choice. He chose Warren for name recognition to try and reach out to the so-called evangelicals. I’m really not impressed.

Yes, I've yet to be impressed by Barack, either. If only Mother Teresa of Calcutta was alive and could give her "breakfast speech" that she gave to the Clintons. Now, that would be fun!

St. Michael, the Archangel, pray for US!

Rick Warren hates the American Free Market Capitalist system. His machinations on social justice smacks of liberation theology, that blast from the past that mixes religion and communism, and as far as I’m concerned Rick Warren is just another cult of personality false prophet preacher who has sold his soul for the limelight and access to fellow socialist Barack Hussein Obama.

~ PRAYER ~

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle
 Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we  humbly pray,
 and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
 by the power of God,
 Thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits
who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
 Amen
