http://news.yahoo.com/obama-announces-his-support-for-same-sex-marriage.html I believe he's the first American president to openly do so. But it wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong.
Anything to distract from the rest of his administration people embarrassing him. He may have been for gay marriage all along, good for him. It's not good when appealing to the black voter though. And I'm quite sure there's a political calculation to all this and nothing more.
It wouldn't be the first time he was wrong either, so it's all good. I don't see what the big deal is, really? Conservatives don't think it is biblical, so why not let God deal with it? Let them get married all they want, and then laugh at them when God denies them entry into heaven. I mean if that's what they believe, why are you fighting it so hard?
Yeah, from what I heard, the politicians like to wait until the polls suggest the majority of americans support the idea.
+1. But Obama has done enough to embarrass himself - it's not all been the work of his administration. So... lemme guess. You'll be voting for Denny Crane in 2012?!?!?!?!?
Alan Shore is a bit on the liberal side, but he's the right guy to be a heartbeat away from being president.
LMAO. True dat. Speaking of Obama, anyone see the video of Obama in Russia? He stuck out his hand to shake everyone's hand as he walked down the line, and everyone blew him off. His face is priceless. He's realizing that they're all ignoring him. Funny as hell.
Actually, I saw a couple of videos that really surprised me. One was W meeting the troops in Iraq. The soldiers were cheering when he was introduced. The other was Obama meeting the troops in Afghanistan. It was dead quiet with "hail to the chief" being played by the band. Found it [video=youtube;xIHz5tevLAw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIHz5tevLAw[/video]
I find it curious how these types of videos and what not don't make it into our national news. You have to dig to find these types of things. Nothing negative about Obama shall be on the news - EVER!! Obama controls the media like no other. I'd say he has been arguably the best leader in the entire world at controlling the media since....... Hitler.
That was painful to watch. Obama's arrival was like an SNL skit. All it was missing was some guy coughing in the background for effect.
It's the oddest thing, actually. W mobilized the national guard and reserves. Those guys figured to do a weekend a month and 2 weeks a year of service here in the states. W deployed them overseas, taking them away from job, family, and friends, Yet they clearly loved him. [video=youtube;06YwQpJLAbI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06YwQpJLAbI[/video] W doesn't like black people.
I don't have a problem with a President making clear his stance on this issue. Whether it hurts him politically or not remains to be seen.
He's a politician - did you expect any different? Politics aren't about honesty. They're about doing whatever it takes to keep your position, and/or get you to the position you want to be in.
