Obama the Centrist?

I am intrigued by the cabinet and other leadership choices Obama has made. He has nominated several centrists to his cabinet which has angered the far Left. Hillary Clinton may not make a bad Secretary of State; Robert Gates is being kept on as Defense Secretary and he's managed the Iraq war well since replacing Donald Rumsfield. Interesting . . .

It looks like Obama may be delegating defense and foreign policy to his cabinet in order to focus on implementing his huge New Deal-like of creating "make work" jobs and universal healthcare (socialized medicine.) It's obvious Obama is planning on being an economic and domestic policy President. So did President Bush . . . until 9/11. Then he had to become a war President. Will the same thing happen to Obama if we are attacked again? How will he handle the war on terror (actually the war on Islamic Fundamentalism) should we be attacked again? I fear and believe it will happen again. Islamists hate us and our way of life and want to destroy us any way they can. I hope Obama will show the courage and guts like President Bush showed, but I don't believe he will. I hope I'm wrong.

He has chosen Rick Warren of Saddleback Church to give the invocation at his inauguration which has homosexual groups up in arms. Good for him.

We have an obligation to pray for him to have wisdom to do the right thing.
