Yes, where he lied to Obama about keeping McCain in "isolation" while questioning Obama first so as to prevent McCain from getting the unfair advantage of hearing the questions and answers first.

There are hundreds of pastors that the religious right could have been perfectly happy with that have not gone out of their way to support something Obama has said he's supposedly against (amendment against same-sex marriage). There are options out there that have not said things controversial enough to draw angry protests. By choosing Warren, he's saying more than "I'm not going to ignore the beliefs of religious people," it gives the impression that he's saying that the protests don't mean anything and that Warren's lies are perfectly valid.
