Sour grapes. Obama has just had a *great* week. So he must be getting something right.

BTW, I don't recall feeling included when GW Bush had a great week. He never made any pretense of caring about my opinion, just "...those he thinks agree with him." I'm not complaining, you understand - just reminding you that all politicians, including the president, in the immortal words of LBJ, need to "dance with the ones what brung ya".

Or maybe he just isn't supposed to have an opinion of his own?

Obama had nothing to do with the gay marriage decision of the SC or even helping it one way or another.
It would not have mattered who was in office IMO. Let's not give credit where credit isn't due.

And they can have their opinion and their rules within their own church. I am not a member of their church so their opinion has nothing to do with my life now.

Default Gay Marriage ruling could be declared invalid.

Justices Ginsburg and Kagan performed same-sex ceremonies before the ruling,
an overt form of impartiality, along with stated opinions, especially by Ginsburg
concerning agenda. This violated U.S. Law and their ruling can be overturned.

Interesting that 850 rabbis are demanding disqualification of two Jewish members of the Supreme Court.
