I never did like to be pandered to as a black voter.

You'd better cater to me as a tax paying citizen, worry about my skin color another time.

I believe Huckabee was stating statistics that say blacks and hispanics overwhelmingly support DOMA. "Within the white community it's about 56 percent, 65 percent in the Hispanic, 75 in the African American community,"

Not an issue, though Obama might get impeached for not doing his duty under oath, the Congress is intending to go to court and defend this Act.

Ah... the President takes an oath to support and defend the Constitution not every hair brained piece of legislation that slips through the Congress. And, when such legislation is seen by the Executive Branch as being contrary to the Constitution, as a co-equal branch of government, it has a constitutional obligation to not only refuse to defend such legislation but to openly oppose it.

I hope they do. It'll once again show that Republicans care more about culture wars than economic issues.
