Rick Warren’s interviews with Presidential candidates went down last nigh, August 16th. As expected, nothing of substance went down, and no pointed questions were asked. Most of the questions were political or economic in nature. Unless I missed it, McCain was not really even asked a ’spiritual’ question at all. Even that was a kind of disappointment. I figured there would at least be some softballs over the middle of the plate. What Obama said identified him as a classic liberal trying to sound like a conservative (Christian). Anyway, check it out for yourself if you want.
I didn’t see the interviews, but from what I have read there was alot more to them than what you seemed to glean.
My understanding was that several questions were of a “spiritual” nature….. “What is your biggest moral failing?”, “When does life begin?” were two I can think of off the top of my head.
Even evangelical Christian leaders have been amazed – to the point of almost impression – at how well Rick Warren did at interviewing both candidates.
I think overall most people felt there was more depth to the interviews than were originally expected, even Irish Calvinist said so.
I’m just saying…
