Matt Yglesias, giovane fanatico radicale, sulla scelta di Obama di invitare il pastore Rick Warren al giuramento:
"If Ahmadenijad is defeated at the next election by a candidate promising to take Iran on a different, more constructive path in international relations a lot of people will be excited by that. If said candidate follows up his electoral victory by elevating a cleric who’s well-known for his high-profile endorsement of assassinations, people will be upset about that. And rightly so".
