Apparently 0bama thinks gays and lesbians are gifted with unique, and powerful athletic skills. Who knew?
No, the president knows that there are some athletes who are gifted with unique and powerful skills who also happen to be gay and who should not have to risk life and limb to compete in the Olympic Games due to their being held in Russia.
Then the president should go to the Olympic committee and take it up with them. They are the ones who awarded the Olympics to the commies. Looks like the global elites have some egg on their faces. Obama is too busy golfing right now to worry about those athletes though so maybe he'll get to it later?
That is certainly the context in how he said it. Or at least the way he said it haz folks looking at it that way. It's certainly interesting how homosexual athletes are being made into such a huge issue. Not like its anything new and unusual. Only a few thousand years worth.
The sexual habits of athletes does not contribute to or detract from, their performance on the field. Unless they stayed up romping all night before their events or had a spat or some such thing ybat is distracting them. But, what the hell, lets just put the spotlight on gay athletes. Forget about performance on the field. Being gay and in the Olympic Games is SPECIAL. wtfe...
Why is it an issue now?
Seriously.
Have people really not seen the news the last few days?
It's truly ironic that Russia has become a more moral society than America. We have no place preaching our perverted morals to them in the name of so-called "human rights". Their granting asylum to Snowden is eerily similar to our granting asylum to Solzinetsin when the Soviet union was the Evil Empire.
More moral?
Encouraging the torture and murder of gay people is moral?

Russia was chosen to host the upcoming Olympics in July 2007. Putin signed the legislation concerning the "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" in June 2013.
Like I said Obama needs to take it up Olympic Committee especially if he feels US athletes will be in danger of being arrested and tortured which is what you are claiming.

We aren't "claiming" anything.
This comes directly from one of the co-sponsors of Russia's anti-gay law.
I'm glad you recognize that, and the fact that the IOC couldn't have known when Russia was chosen to host that six months before the Games legislation such as this would be passed.

I am? I think that gay US athletes are going to be arrested and tortured? I dreamt that up? Really?
So if they don't violate the law of another country they will be fine. So what's the big deal? Just don't go around speaking about it in front of children or display symbols like your video mentioned. Why would they anyway they aren't there to protest but compete in the Olympics. Do you think that Olympic Athletes should be immune from other countries laws?

Why would you dream for something like that?
