Sadly, Business as usual for Obama administration

Well here we go again.  Did we really just vote for “business as usual” in Washington or did we vote for change?  I’m starting to think the former.

It was reported today over at Pam’s House Blend that Rick Warren, the mega-pastor at the mega-church who wrote the mega-best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life, has been asked by the Obama transition team to do the invocation at President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration on January 20th, 2009.

This is the same Rick Warren who has, on numerous occasions defended the passage of Proposition 8 in California, and compared gays and lesbians to zoophiles, pedophiles and polygamists.

(listen around the 2:10 mark)

The last time the President-elect was confronted with this sort of situation it was almost forgivable because the person was rather obscure.  In particular I’m talking about the Rev. Donnie McClurkin, an ex-gay pastor who would sing at Obama campaign rallies.
