From Hollywood's perspective, there's a cloud over Barack Obama's inaugural. Now the question is whether the weather that day will simply be overcast or stormy.

Obama's selection of Orange County mega-pastor and bestselling author Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his swearing in has hit liberal Hollywood in one of its sorest spots: the passage of Proposition 8, California's ban on gay marriage, which Warren strongly supported. In fact, he has compared same-sex nuptials to approving polygamy and pedophilia.

1. Oh! Those Hollyweird liberals!

Just shut up and SING (or act).:evilgrin:

:sarcasm:<-of course.:)

2. The more press, the better - keeps the heat on Obama. I think he'll see...

...what people are upset about and turn it around in the next few days.

3. I agree - until now, many saw Warren as a harmless doughboy...

...now they'll know him for the bigoted fuck he is. Hopefully, the impact will influence President Obama to support Equal Rights for All Americans.:thumbsup:

6. With the Prop 8 awakening, the movie MILK, and now this fiasco...

...I too think the public outcry could influence President Obama in a big way.
