I also want to comment on Obama picking Warren to deliver the prayer - Obama is no fool. I personally distrust Warren after the "cone of silence" debacle, but Obama realizes that Warren, for better or worse, is the upcoming leader of the Evangelical movement, and after the extremists and hypocrites they had in the past Warren is actually a breath of fresh air on most issues. Obama realizes that one day when he needs help with things like fighting global warming, guys like Rick Warren will come in very handy. This also makes it a lot harder for windbags like Rush Limbaugh to spread their hate to the Evangelicals, who are a large part of the 30% who still like Bush. If Obama can split the Evangelicals from the Republican party he will have achieved a HUGE Democratic victory for the future. All you lefties who don't trust Obama need to start thinking a few steps ahead - politics is chess, sometimes his moves are not obvious, but one day you'll say "ah haaa".

The best leaders will surround themselves with people as smart or smarter and more experienced than themselves in the areas they may be weak. Inexperienced leaders step in and try to control everything they do not understand without first getting the lay of the land. I did not vote for Obama, but I am starting to think that so far, he is making wise decisions in his approach. I can only hope it will continue.

Getting that pool of knowledge together in one room (regardless of what you may think about certain participants) is a remarkably good idea. I think they will find they have much more in common by the experience of their office than they will ideological differences. I dont know what will come of it, but perhaps Obama just wants to kind of have a meet-n-greet, and perhaps call on these men and their experience in the future. I think its an ace move both politically and practically. Its hard to understand the job of president if you havnt been president – whatever side of the isle you may live on.

The clintion has done so much for this country, in for someone to say something bad about the clinton or obama its sad. I feel that obama is doing a good job and i hope he make it all the way, especially the education system because i am a college student , working two jobs, trying to pay my way to school. i am a very big supporter of both clintion and obama. its sad to see american talking that way.

He doesn't want obama to be in that presidential picture because it will add to his stature, and further diminish him from being the last great president. Hey Bill ! Obama's gonna be on mount rushmore and a dollar bill one day, so what do you think about that. I bet Bill Clinton will find a way out of this one.
