So Obama has wrapped up the Warren controversy by choosing Gene Robinson to deliver the invocation for the Innaugural Week.

I can’t tell you how pleased I am that the Big O has figured out a way to take my [advice](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10609594&postcount=228) given before Christmas.

I’m so proud of him !
