rick warren asked about same-sex marriage here is what barack obama said. i believe marriage is between a man and a woman and i don't believe that it should be other things and then he used this term, because as a christian i believe god is in the mix. now barack obama received that in 2008 and as did hillary clinton and joe biden and tested every democratic presidential candidate that i know of. so here's my point. if barack obama said that it's between a man and a woman because that is all we are capable of feeling and giving as a society than i would have granted the license to change his mind but that isn't what he said. he said it was because he was a christian. here is my conclusion. one of three things have to have happened. barack obama was lying in 2008, he is lying to us when he says that he's all for same-sex marriage or the bible was rewritten and he was the only one that caught the new version. got the new version. [laughter] so tell me what other option is there? that's my point. i don't feel my view is crazy or out there. it's the same that h

at saddleback church in august of 2008 and rick warren asked him here's what barack obama said. he said i believed marriage is between a man and a woman and i don't believe there should be other things and then he used this term because as a christian i believe god is in the mix. barack obama believed that -- that into those made as to hillary clinton as did joe biden as did every i think democratic presidential candidate that i know of so here's my point. if barack obama headset i believe marriage is between a man and a woman because that is all we are capable as a society i would have granted him the license to change his mind but that is not what he said. he said it was because you as a christian. here is my conclusion. one of three things had to have happened. barack obama was lying in 2008 he was lying to us when he said he's all for same-sex marriage for the bible got rewritten and he was the only one who got the new version. tell me what other option is there? i don't feel like my view is all that crazy. it's the same view that the president himself has help. >> host: a l

the first was rick warren. this time whom obama praised for his work on human trafficking quickly withdrew from the program. 2012 election offered a new explanation for the decline of the christian right and that was demographic transitions. it was declining numbers rather than threats from the evangelical left that were what truly hindered conservatives. there were several reports funded by the trust that highlighted the implausibility of the lingering assumption that evangelicals was a majority or otherwise. and definitely the narrative of the rise of the nuns was the factor there. still it's interesting to me that in 2012 the gop nominee mitt romney embraced a version of george w. bush's successful 2004 strategy regarding evangelicals. the assumption was that the evangelical electorate was very much a slummering giant. they did turn out many great numbers for romney, but obama still won fairly comfortably. now as usual, the political wins were easier to detect than actual policy changes were to affect. in th

except for maybe rick warren who was at obama's first inaugural and there were at least one persons likefranklin graham who want -- who once obama popularity didn't waste of the all-time and going public with doubts about his piety. i think franklin graham's numerous comments force a paradox -- paradox concerning the obama faith story, it was widely publicized. the chapter of france aaron c made the subject of wilder and wilder speculation. so it simply does not take anything at ace value by quite a few americans. in spite of obama's trial in 2008 the beltway conventional wisdom still held the most authentic political trends came from the right not the left. the rise of the tea party phenomena seemed true but strangely from my reading the rise of the tea arty did not fully alter the perception that the christian right hatter or not it's old self or in this is a diagnosis that the 2012 election confirmed. less noted was the evangelical left return to a marginal status. the midterm election cycle saw momentary return to the thesis of evangelicalism as a political nemesis for democrats. the

marriage by the way is the exact position that barack obama had in 2008 and when he was talking to rick warren at the saddleback church during the forum in august of 2008 and he asked him about same-sex marriage here's what barack obama said. i believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and i don't believe that it should be other things because and then he used the term because as a christian iv leave god is in the next. by the obama the league that in 2008 as did hillary clinton and joe biden and as stated every democratic presidential candidate that i know of so here's my point. if barack obama said i believed buried as between a man and a woman because that is all we are capable of doing as a society than i would have granted him the license to change his mind but that isn't what he said. he said it was because he was a christian. here's my conclusion. one of three things had to have happened. barack obama was lying in 2008 he is lying he's lying to us when he says now that he's for same-sex marriage, or the bible got rewritten and he was the only one that got the new version.

september that scripture interprets scrapeture suggests that in the words of megachurch pastor rick warren, the bienl is its own worst commentary. the overall meanings must har monoize. the idea that scripture interprets scripture is a method of higs xx kal analysis as well as a form of textual reading. the interpreter determines what are through his or her knowledge the whole principles. applying this in american history requires a two-step process. first, the knowledgeable writer introduces a clear sense. having can be social security consistent and identifiable principles transforms the purpose of learning about history and the kinds of evidence used. further more conservative christians make the revolution a religious act. now, these readings begin and end with principles. not just an interpretation, but usually, in structure. the american pay trots bible published by thomas nelson press in 200 9d, begins with the seven principles of the judeao ethic. they had to leave upon a common understanding of law, government, social order and morality. the awe e authors of this text continue. wh

the concept that scripture interprets scripture suggests that, in the words of mega church pastor rick warrene bible is its own best commentary, a point he lists as second among six principles more interpreting scripture. the concept is repeated widely in various guides for understanding that complex text and it's linked to the protestant concept of by scripture alone. if the bible is the one sole source of truth, then it must provide all the tools necessary for its interpretation, and the overall meanings of the entire text must harmonize. the idea that scripture interprets scripture is a method of historical analysis as well as a form of textual reading. some moments events and passages of the bible are far more important than others to understanding the principles of the whole. the interpreter determines what these are through his or her knowledge of both the whole and the principles. applying this strategy to a relatively recent moment in history, like the american revolution, requires a two-step process. first, the knowledgeable writer introduces the era with a clear sense of its guiding

rick perry wants to give it another shot. perry has a great record in texas. can he overcome his performance in debates. >> marco rubeio was here yesterday. >> elizabeth warren isunicator on the democrat side and rubio the best on the republican side. how do you run when jeb bush was essentially your godfather in politics? >> it is either three strikes the charm or three strikes you are out for romney. when you look at chris christie with what he has had recently do you think that will stick with him? >> he will light up that conservative base in the debates. i think chris christie will have the key lines. can you get yelled at for a year and a half and still like that guy at the end as much as you like him at the beginning? >> he says he doesn't yell though. >> according to our focus groups it's yelling. when you are yelling it is always in the eye of the beholder rather than the yeller. >> thank you. we'll see you again, i know that. >>> the custody battle over invaluables of the civil right movement. the kids are squabbling next on "cbs this morning." ...and the wolf was huffing and puffing... kind of like you sometimes, grandpa. well, when you have copd it
