Yon need a reading comprehension class. Im not sour about gay marriage being made ok, and have been on record that way for a while. I'm not offended, I'm pissed, about this ridiculous waste of taxpayer money, pandering to a lobby bunch. If people had gotten together and put up some type of display like this in Washington, held a rally, did their cheering and such, on PRIVAtE funds, I wouldn't say a word. M.ore power to ya. For the POTUS to order the White House decked out like this, on tax funding, is just over the top. And, that's hardly an immature opinion. Im not the one that needs to grow up. Look in the mirror.

I don't care a whit if gays get married. But I don't care for my tax dollars being squandered decking out public property to celebrate your ability to do so. How much did this simpering, pandering, gushing little display cost? Enough to fund something a tad more important, I'd wager. Hey! Gays can marry! Great. But pardon me if I don't go all juicy fruit over that, and be OK with the president spending hundreds of thousands of dollars pandering to gays on an issue that just isnt that big a deal.

I thought that gays just wanted to be seen as inside the norm, and be considered equal on the relationship field. Not so glaringly special as to have the president adorn the White House in SPECIAL recognition. Yea, grow up , indeed. You ain't special. Get over yourselves already. That REALLY needs to happen, and garish displays by the president aren't getting his any closer to "equality".

“elections have consequences and, in case there was any doubt, “I won.” Since day 1 Obama has been saying he wasn't the president for 50% of Americans.
That's an outright lie. If you think it's not, then it should be easy for you can find a video to prove he said he was only president to 50% of Americans. Obama's not a perfect president---none of them are---but he's done a darn good job considering the challenges our country has faced starting with the banking crisis on day one. And considering he's had to work with a bunch of do-nothing Republicans whose only goal for four years was to make Obama a one term president and we all know how that turned out.

No it isn't a lie. Obama has attacked people like me since he was elected. He's gives government credit for doing something they did not do, he's demanded and taken more of my money, he's said I believe things that are not true and lets not forget that he lies to get his laws passed. No this is not a president that has the American's people at heart, he's not the president of all Americans. He's the president of people who want a hand out.

The stupidity of the American voter.

They don't want him as a president anyway, so why complain? Does that 50% just love being miserable? Complain when he is their president, complain when he says he isn't. Will nothing make you all happy?

Yes, reading is fundamental. If you did some you'd know that Valerie Jarett organized the light show and arranged for it to be paid for by LGBT organizations to avoid the tax payer debate that you are trying to have. So can we count on you to un-p**s yourself and calm down? Valerie Jarrett Organized White House Rainbow Lights - Breitbart

But it's what we've come to expect from him. And his puppet master, Jarrett.

I hope he takes this opportunity to light the WH up with red, white and blue this year. I'm sure he will, won't he?
