That's interesting... I think this, and the timing of the announcement, is more about his re-election chances- which he is obviously and with good reason worried about- than it is about his actual beliefs.

I don't believe him for a second...

Didn't Joe Joe kind of put him on the end of a spear on this? Poll conscience Obama team likely decided to take the lumps now, and take a stand.

For once.

His "evolution" on the issue is right in line with the rest of America. I don't necessarily think its political posturing, albeit will end up benefiting him politically.

What sucks is now this is going to be a major campaign issue because he and Romney are so divergent on this issue, whereas he and McCain were not.

Its just going to skew the conversations onto something that our government shouldn't be involved in.

Of course he still views this as a matter left to the states - that worked well in NC, right?

And nothing about Federal recognition, so even in states where it is legal, you are still SOL when it comes to the Feds.

Moderator: Mr. Obama, how would you handle the current fiscal problems that plague our country?
Obama: QUEERS CAN MARRY!
Moderator: That's wonderful sir, but our fiscal problems. What is your response.
Obama: You see, I'm for the little man. Queers can get married!

Little bitty baby steps there Jon, just like all the other mostly social issues that take forever to rid ourselves of.

Do I get a cookie for knowing this since 2008? About time he admitted it! Didn't think he would do it before the election.

So Barry has gone on record to being for gay marriage to against gay marriage to for it again? :lol:
So now neither Barry nor any on his campaign can accuse Romney of being a flip flopper.

Don't think so. It's been before the voters in 30 states, and in all 30 the voters have voted, often overwhelmingly, to keep marriage between a man and a woman.

And that makes it right? It's discrimination no matter how you spin it. :ohno:

Numbnuts, go back and re read my post. I wasn't arguing right or wrong in that post. I was refuting the notion that it would help Obama politically.

So, when you are dreaming about Barak, does he buttfuck you or spew in your eye?Or does he give you yellow discipline?
Yikes I don't even know what that means.


Sick bastard

I like women and I really don't care if you're an ass hopper...your business

I just don’t like Obama and believe he’s very bad for the country and want him defeated in the fall
I’m always happy to point out when he’s a flip flopper, liar or hypocrite
Which keeps me busy every day

you are the sort that votes straight party ticket regardless. If Satan were Republican you would vote for him. That's dangerous and irresponsible.
