Attack of the Theocrats!
That was a diplomatic move. It's not unlike Obama to want to reconcile hostilities between the religious right and the democrats by incorporating an evangelical Christian in his inauguration. I personally feel compelled to ignore the religious right out of existence, but Obama has a career hinging on good relations with as many people as possible, and they are, unfortunately, politically significant.
At worst, in this particular case, you can call Obama annoying. I think "asshole" is a bit poorly thought out given the intentions meant here. Don't let your passion get away from you, it can get harder to reason when you're emotional. I say that casually, and with all due respect, as I don't mean to sound snappy.
