Former top presidential adviser says Obama LIED about his support for gay marriage for years so he could get elected

President told a newspaper in 1996 when he first ran for statewide office that he supported gay marriage

Two years later he wrote 'undecided' on the same paper's candidate questionnaire about the topic

By 2008, as a presidential candidate, he was firmly in the 'traditional marriage' camp

But Obama returned to his 1996 leanings in 2010, telling the country that his position had 'evolved'

Former Obama advisor David Axelrod claims in a book Obama lamented to him that 'I'm just not very good at bulls***ing' – but another of his stories from the same book has already been labeled as fiction

Maybe Romney and McCain should've tried lying a little bit more than they did.

What do you want, a do-over of the 2008 presidential election?

Every presidential hopeful/ nominee plays to the polls.

I have no idea what any nominee or sitting president believed in. I suspect they don't either.

Romney had a long history of flip- flops on many positions.
They all play to the polls.

I thought that was obvious. Of course Obama lied about that. He had to. The right would have crucified him with it.

And you know what, I'd rather vote for somoene who lied about being against it than someone who actually is.
