Obama's Gay Marriage Stance (middle east, Bill Clinton, democrat, Christ)

Many blacks oppose abortion, too, but that doesn't stop them from voting overwhelmingly for pro-abortion Democrats.

Yup. I'm thinking that the data analytics folks at Obamacorp are n00bs.

For the record I have no problem with gay marriage as I think Constitutionally it's impossible to deny that right. However, I loathe flip-floppers. I understand all politicians do it ( Christie did it in Jersey with the flag for the black vote when Whitney Houston died). My problem is with the American people. Does it not bother people that their elected officials lie to them? I spoke to two liberal friends last night and they truly believe in their heart that Obama was against gay marriage, and that he has had an epiphany in the last year. Sad.. I have no doubt he believed in gay marriage 4 years ago he just wasnt honest abouthis when he ran for President? Hmm. Is it because he needed to be centrist to get elected?

It's an election year. I think this was his stance all along, he just recently grew a pair and admitted it.

He was either lying then or he's lying now.

Or he never really cared one way or another, but he can tell which way the wind is blowing and has decided to pick a camp.

Because he has falling poll numbers, err I mean he had a "evolution of thought".

You're wrong about the constitutionality of gay marriage. It's not a right and it can be denied.

I agree though 50 year olds are generally set in their world view unless of course you are trying to raise cash from Hollywood gays.
