Will Obama's choice to ring in the new year unite America, or further fracture an already divided country?

    This was a balanced choice.

    I don't care for Rick Warren, but V Gene Robinson was also there. So, it was a balance. The sad thing was that the television coverage did not broadcast Robinson.
