Obama's Rev. Warren Inaugural Pick Sparks Gay Fury
The president-elect's selection of Rev. Rick Warren draws fierce responses from gay and liberal groups.
WASHINGTON (Fox News) - President-elect Barack Obama made no apologies Thursday for asking evangelical pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration, a move that infuriated gays angry at Warren's support for California's Proposition 8 banning gay marriage.
Obama said he and Warren don't agree on everything, but he's collected a group of people to appear at his inauguration who share a variety of viewpoints.
Repeating a line from his campaign, Obama said, "We have to disagree without being disagreeable and then focus on those things that we hold in common as Americans."
