Rep. Frank: Obama 'Overestimates' Ability to Unify (Walter Alarkon, 12/22/08, The Hill's Briefing Room)

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) thinks that President-elect Obama picked same-sex marriage opponent Rick Warren to give the inauguration invocation because Obama "overestimates" his ability to unify people.

"Oh, I believe that he overestimates his ability to get people to put aside fundamental differences," said Frank, the first House member to come out of the closet voluntarily.

Of course, Mr. Obama is opposed to gay marriage himself, so the unifying pick would have been someone who supports it. Instead, he seem so to have figured out how to be Bill Clinton '05 rather early on.
