Reply #25: Asuming he is not going back to Clintionian Triangulation...

He is simply reaching out to the more liberal church going Americans and telling more liberal evangelicals that they don't have much to worry about from him. Obama may also figures that throwing Warren a couple of shiny beads and some free publicity will help him in the long run. Warren may support some Obama policies from the pulpit (in so far as he can without loosing tax exempt status). Hard to know. I don't like Warren's views and would have hoped that Obama would have found someone a little less divisive.
