11. I was going to post something about that
I just noticed it too...maybe I am crazy, but I am not too worked up about Warren. As a Jew, I defended Obama for staying in Wright's church even though Wright made some comments that were arguably anti-semitic. I did not take it as an affront because I know Barack does not share those views. If he hadn't disinvited Wright from his announcement in February of 2007 and had had him give the prayer as planned, I don't think it would have bothered me unless Wright used the platform to espouse views that were anti-Israel or anti-semitic. I don't see having someone give a prayer as an endorsement of all of their political views, and I feel like it would be hypocritical for me to get angry about this when I defended Obama over Reverend Wright.
