OK..Rick Warren is lying. Great. I never liked him anyway and the next time I read "A Purpose Driven Life" will be the first. But here's the question I have...
What does the fact that Barack Obama willingly walked into this say about Obama's judgment? I'd argue that it says plenty and none of it is good.
In going to Saddleback, Obama helped elevate not only Rick Warren (bad enough on its own) but also gave John McCain a prime time slot on national television before an inherently friendly audience and questioner in an event that which without Obama would never have been broadcast in the same way.
Judgment? Yeah, Obama has judgment. It's just poor.
