Has anybody asked President Obama about Rick Warren AFTER this not-condemning-Uganda crap?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

That's the question I see nobody asking.

[HamdenRice]

1. Do you think given Afghanistan, Obama has time to give a rat's ass about Warren's opinion of Uganda?

I could see someone asking Obama, late in a press conference, about his opinion of what's happening in Uganda -- after all, it's a human rights issue from the part of the world half of his family is from.

But do you really think he has time to give a rat's ass about every stupid opinion of Rick Warren, the guy who gave a 5 minute prayer, at his inauguration?

What's next? Interrogating Hillary Clinton over what she thinks of Fleetwood Mac's opinion of Aung San Suu Kyi -- because "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" was Bill Clinton's campaign theme?

2. Thanks for kicking this thread. -nt

[Captain Hilts]

3. Inviting Warren to speak at the inaugural was an endorsement of his views. Sorry. nt

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. Yeah, that sounded like Huckabee desperately saying Maurice Clemmons isn't news. -nt

6. Nice comparison...really shows flawed logic...no, wait...

...it doesn't show any logic.

4. I hope somebody does ask.

If the situation in Uganda becomes another Rwanda, everybody is going to wish somebody had asked him.

5. It figures you would want the president to trouble his beautiful mind

with the poutrage of foreign nancyboys who didn't get their pony.

:sarcasm:

7. Genocide is a pet issue.

If only those negative nellies would reach out to bigots. :sarcasm:

[QC]

14. They are just too bigoted to reach out to those who only want to imprison them.

Most of them, anyway. And kill some others. But these are their religious beliefs and thus above criticism.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Because, as we all now, the biggest human rights violation today is PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS!!!111!

[QC]

18. And we persecute them by not allowing them to kill people! n/t

8. First thing I thought of

when Rachel had the segment on last night.

[KG]

9. well, it was only a two minute prayer, after all.

[Captain Hilts]

11. Before a global audience. nt

[get the red out]

12. Is the President supposed to be this jerk's keeper?

Are liberals supposed to blame the religious right on the President now? I guess so.

[QC]

13. The president endorsed Warren in a pretty grand fashion this past Jaunary.

Perhaps you remember the event. It was called "The Inauguration."

And the situation in Uganda is shaping up to be a world class disaster, so it's not unreasonable to expect the White House to say something about it.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. I remember it.

I also remember Obama did not endorse Warren in any way whatsoever.

That's fiction that you've invented.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

17. How was the invitation and the Inauguration performance NOT a form of endorsement? -nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Well, jeez, CPD...

In pretty much the same way that Michelle Obama's "whitey tape" is not an endorsement of the oppression of albinos in Africa and Aretha Franklin's hat is not responsible for that subway bombing in Moscow.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

24. Uh... drugs are bad for you, mmmkay?

[Starry Messenger]

19. lol, whut?

What color is the sky in your world?

[ecstatic]

27. Hardly an endorsement.

But you're free to your opinion.

[QC]

29. So how would you describe giving Warren a world stage?

If it's not an endorsement, it'll do until the real thing comes along.

[branders seine]

21. he didn't care about Warren being a bigot before the Inaugural,

why would he care now?

[Skittles]

23. CORRECT

[Bluenorthwest]

22. Has the White House itself condemned Uganda?

Even Bush sounded off over Nigeria pulling a lesser but similar hate law. Has Obama?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. Hm, that is an even BIGGER question. -nt

[ecstatic]

26. Obama and Warren are not friends. Warren's opinion

has nothing to do with Obama.

[Bluebear]

28. he only sang ONE SONG!!!!1

Um, one speech, er one prayer!!!1
