No one is going to withdraw their support of Obama, under the circumstances; he's what we've got, and the consequences of backing off are too dire. We've seen that in the past eight years.
The point is that having Warren give the invocation was wrong, sent the wrong message, and should be clearly seen as such. Obama stumbled big time with this, but that doesn't mean we're going to suddenly jump ship for McCain or the Republicans or whatever. We should be allowed to be indignant at the slight, just as you would be indignant at an anti-Semitic priest giving an invocation.
His feet should be held to the fire, and to be honest, I don't think Obama would want it any other way.
