I'm just gonna leave this here:

quote:

When President Obama needed a preacher to fulfill the closing prayer duties at the annual White House Easter Prayer Breakfast, he turned to none other than the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop — who said he was as shocked as anyone at the appointment.

The Right Rev. Gene Robinson said in a tweet, accompanied by a photo of Mr. Obama behind a podium at the event: “POTUS ‘preaches’ at the Easter prayer breakfast. Then, out of the blue, asks ME to close with prayer. OMG!”

A bishop asked to say a prayer, who would've thought.

"Oh My God, thank you for these eggs and ..."

Anyone that thinks Obama isn't a homosexual is looney.

That may be true, but it's hard to believe.
It could be though that the qualification is accurate insofar as it pertains to a "Bishop".

Picking an episcopalian minister to do anything relating to Christianity is essentially like randomly selecting a liberal arts professor. They're of the same mindset and political temperament.

Of course he isn't the first Christian leader, or even bishop specifically, to be gay. There are undoubtedly many bishops, priests, pastors, etc. who are gay in this country.

He's the first bishop to be openly gay to my knowledge though.

Good for him.
Now on to the more pertinent subject: Easter invocations, and separation of the church and state.

It's a blatant political move from Obama

The progressive Christians will eat it up

The conservative Christians will act pissed

The jews will resume counting their money and not giving a frick

Rinse and repeat it all again next week.
