The latest criticism over President-elect Barack Obama’s controversial selection of Pastor Rick Warren to deliver his inauguration invocation comes from Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Barney Frank, one of the only openly gay members of Congress.
Frank, who appeared on CNN’s “Late Edition” on Monday called Obama’s choice of Rick Warren “a mistake,” saying that, “Giving that kind of mark of approval and honor to someone who has frankly spoken in ways I and many others have found personally very offensive, I thought that was a mistake for the president-elect to do.”
Despite the criticism, Obama continues to defend his selection of Pastor Warren, saying “Barney, come on, bub, Man Up…huh?…..ah, um, well, you know what I mean, anyhow. How about a piece of pie?”

What will be the next wrong that will be tried to be accepted. If something is wrong, it is wrong even if everyone says it is right and if something is right, it is right even if everyone says it is wrong.
Who do THEY want instead?!
They never really explain that part, chrys. Then, they never offer any alternatives to go with their complaints, except for “surrender in Iraq.”
