At A Loss

First, let me just say that in the whole scheme of things, this just aint the most important issue of the day.  Second, even if it is the screw up that I and many others think it is, it will not cause me to withdraw my support.

All of that not withstanding, I am at a complete loss to comprehend or explain what was going through Barack Obama's mind when he chose a hate monger to deliver the invocation at his inauguration.  I sincerely hope that he did not intend the incredible insult he delivered to the LGBT "community" who were huge supporters of his.

I have tried to rationalize the choice of Rick Warren to myself.  I understand that BO wants to reach out to the evangelical community.  I understand that he is playing a political longview game.  It is just that there were/are many routes that he could have chosen that would not have directly and completely offended a group that supported him early and actively.  While his victory was unambiguous, his political structure is not developed enough that it can withstand the removal of an integral and significant part of the foundation. 

Barack Obama has shown that he has truly impressive political instincts.  Perhaps there is something here that I just do not see but for right now. I'm at a loss to understand this.
