He did that by asking Pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation and speak at his Inauguration. To the horror of Democratic liberals and Republican Christians Rick Warren agreed to do it. The Democratic liberals are horrified because of Rick Warren’s anti-gay and other strong Christian values. The Republican Christians are horrified because Rick Warren is speaking at the Inauguration of the Anti-Christ and worse someone who is pro-abortion.
Barack Obama has been a Christian all along, and is the largest move of God in our time, but he had to stay "In the Closet" as a Christian to get elected as a Democrat. In 2006, before the election, when he could talk about it, he gave a 40 minute speech about how he became a Christian, what his faith means to him and the relationship between Christianity and politics. The video of his speech can be seen at

After watching the video I got the idea that Barack Obama came to Chicago with no real strong views on Christianity one way or the other. He became a Christian when he saw that the churches had the power to bring about the social change he was seeking to bring about. He realized that the black churches were responsible for the whole Black Civil Rights movement in America that made it possible for someone like him to be President.
He picked Rick Warren to speak at his Inauguration because he knows that Rick Warren, like his own pastor, is also big on using the power of God to bring about social change. Barack also knows that many white Christians look up to Rick Warren and might be inspired by him to bring about the needed further social change in America through the power of God flowing in their own churches.
God definitely pulled one over on America with Barack Obama.
