The Politics of Faith
President-elect Barack Obama has chosen Rick Warren, the vocal pastor of the Saddleback mega-church in Orange County, to deliver his inaugural invocation. It's a choice that has outraged gay rights groups. We talk about the selection and the broader role religion may play in the Obama administration.
