“I don’t see Warren as a true pastor of Christ. I see him as a motivational speaker that uses the word “God” every so often.”
So does that disqualify Warren as a credible interviewer?
Warren offered no opinions. What I saw of the interview was an outstanding question and answer session that touched on everything that matters.
Just because the Preacher don’t proclaim fire and brimstone is not a basis for making a bigoted assumption his intentions are not rightous.
Oh no, he did very very well in that forum! He was about as non-biased as you could get and I don’t think he lobbed any softballs to Obama, he asked the same questions as far as I know.
I’m just saying he doesn’t fit with the Christian pastor in the traditional Christian church. That’s just my opinion as a Christian. I do think that the Purpose Driven Life was a good model to live by though.
I thought Warren did well in the interview. I wish he had asked about illegal immigration - if he did I missed it. People that read my posts know that I do not like John McCain - but I will admit that he did well last night - and that Obama performed "abominably".
Since the interview took place in a church, I'm sure both candidates tailored their responses to that crowd. McCain said what conservatives would want to hear. I'm still reserving my judgment for him as a candidate, based on who he picks for VP & what he says from this point out. His answers were short & direct - almost bordering on canned answers. I think he was well-prepped for it. I still think actions speak louder than words, so we'll see.
I don’t know much about Warren, but I have to give him credit for doing what the media in all its years has never done, i.e. asking the same questions of the candidates and letting them answer. The biggest gripe I have with media is that it always asks Republicans questions that have a pro-Dem slant and bias...not so last night.
We could truly see the two men and compare them, apples to apples..
McCain was incredibly animated, informed, passionate and clear in his answers
Not So Obama
A rare commodity today.
He should audition for Tim Russert's old job.
“What I saw of the interview was an outstanding question and answer session that touched on everything that matters.”
I DID really like (and had heard this in advance) that the identical questions were asked of each candidate, and they were relevent ones, worded the same way.
As I said, because McCain’s answers were more concise and direct, it left time for still more questions to be asked of him. I’m sure that, once again, BHO was just running down the clock - like pelosi and reid did before a 5 week recess. Guess he thought he was back on the basketball court.
