A little late, but if you haven’t seen Ekklesia’s response to Obama’s speech it is worth a gander. Nothing too shocking here, of course. Keep the church and the world separate, in every practical sense. Obama isn’t explicitly Christian enough…yada yada yada. Oddly, though, for all the ekklesiastical (hehe) outrage that the pacifist camp has at his (however timid) invocation of the Just War tradition, no one seems bothered by the fact that pacifist grand-poobah Stanley Hauerwas himself voted for Obama. (A fact I have on good authority from someone who was in a classroom where Dr. Hauerwas admitted it).
Check out the Ekklesia Project’s page here. My response to Hauerwas’ article with follow shortly.

Wm F Buckley made the point thus: “We cannot immanentize the eschaton.”
