Obama and Gays

[levi127]

Well now he supports the marriage and everything between same sex. When before elected or 1st in he was completely against it. I guess its another move to try to win more votes

He wanted to straddle the fence on this issue as long as possible but he was forced to state his blessing for it after Biden made his comment last Sunday. He had or has a fund raiser coming up with a big gay group in New York and didn't need the Biden comment looming without coming out, pardon the pun, himself in favor of it. Add the North Carolina amendment that passed overwhelmingly and he just cound't alienate that voting block.

Gonna be interesting to see how Obama and Romney try to define themselves in the coming months. The moderate vote is what is going to win the next election. Right now I think people are hurting enough financially that either candidate can win if they can connect with voters on the economy and middle voters believe the candidate will be able to deliver on the economy.

While certainly important, Obama, in and of itself, supporting gay marriage is not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. He cannot do anything to force gay marriage, or the recognition thereof, on this country outside of appointing ultra-lib supreme court justices that over-exceed their authority.

Like Romney said, correctly I might add, this is a state issue. States issue marriage licenses. I think thirty states have come out against gay marriage through referendums and the like.

Don't fall for the trap. Obama and the democrats know they cannot run on their record, so they are constantly building strawmen to conquer in order to win re-election. First it was the war of women, then the war of blacks (Trayvon), now it is the war on gays. The Ds are playing the social politics game and trying to rally as many special interest groups as possible and get them to the polls in mass.

Obama has been a fiscal disaster. His judicial appointments are laughable. His justice department is out of control. He lies at every turn. Unemployment is up 25%. More people are on welfare, food stamps and unemployment benefits than at any time in the last 50 years. The only reason unemployment numbers are falling is because so many are leaving the workforce altogether.

The only thing he can run on is killing OBL, getting out of Iraq and these social political issues. They are building a strawman to blow it over...they are attempting to define the game and make up the rules. This is easy because they control the media. Just be wise to it...I hope Romney is and sticks to the message, it is about the economy - that is all.

^^^Add the Hispanics to the special interest groups that Ds are trying to appeal to.

Hopefully, this will help the Republicans more than the Dems. The folks that agree with Obama on the issue were going to vote for him anyway. However, the independents that are still straddling the fence may be more likely to vote against him due to this.

[quote="farmerc83What is the #1 cause of divorce in the US? Its handling of finances...not sex, whether or not to have a baby, or dividing chores based on historical gender norms. Could it possibly be best for our country to prioritize similarly?[/quote]

Actually, the number one cause of divorce is the MISHANDLING of finaces. So the country and those marriages falling apart because of finances are already similar.

You just know Biden was given a spanking because of this. They've got him locked in his room with the fisher-price phone and coloring books now.
