Yep, I agree. I wonder what on earth Obama was thinking choosing him?!
The only thing I can figure out is that he has been really making an obvious effort to choose members of his staff who are from all along the spectrum, you know? I suppose in an effort to make all of America feel more... included...? Which I think is awesome and shows he understands he was elected by only about 50% of the citizens of the US. That said, um - what a weird choice.
I guess I'd be interested to see what Obama himself says about the choice and how he defends it. Have you seen anything about that? I haven't looked since this morning so I don't know if the story has been updated. But I figure when he does address it, I expect to read something about how he doesn't agree with his stance but finds him an inspiring religious figure or something like that.
