Reply #79: When I stop seeing red... [View All]

[WillParkinson]

First off, I'm not seeing red. I disagree with Mr. Obama on this choice, I've made it know, and I questioned his reasonings for doing it. I also asked why THIS man? You see, people like Mr. Warren have a polarizing effect. You put him up on a stage and regardless of what he is doing - giving a speech or an invocation - you are making him more legitimate. And you are linking yourself to him and his belief. Mr. Obama can say he doesn't agree with it but just like in California during the ads where he said he disagreed with the proposition they still used his words of being against gay marriage against him.

Secondly, this is not the first time Mr. Obama has done this. Donnie McClurkin was the first I know of. But when you put Mr. Warren on stage you are putting on a man who says that gay and lesbian marriage is like pedophilia. These are the things that will come out. These are the things that people will see. Not a person of love and kindness. A person who spits vile and venom.

And Mr. Obama does not have my back. Mr. Obama operates in his own interests. This, to me, is proof of that.

My friends act as a shield against those who would do me harm. They do not put them up on stage and say "look what I did".
