You can blame Obama for plenty of things, but the suckage that is Facebook isn't really one of them.

I'm for allowing gays to be married, but the shite I read that Obama said is fricking infuriating. Election season, big political vote on the issue that fails (in my eyes), and the next day he comes out and says he supports it, while not doing a SINGLE DAMN THING ABOUT IT FOR 3.5 YEARS. His children influenced how he felt about it? How fricking weak is this a-hole (not that I believe any of his rhetoric)?

Obama has suddenly decided to go after the rational segment of the swing vote.

I would have lost all respect for Obama if he had waited until after the election to do this. This announcement came a day too late to help North Carolina, but I still commend him for going public with this now instead of waiting until after the election.
I agree with this. I'm actually surprised because I didn't think he had it in him.

Does this leave a significant amount of the black vote home in November???
Considering the majority of black voters vote against gay marriage...yes. Not to mention he's succeeded in alienated 70% of 32 states that voted it down. Romney wins big today. Let the idealogues fry in their own progressiveness.

And he just told the state where he's having his convention that they don't know how to vote the right way. But not to worry that they can learn from his daughters how to be cool with the gay.

I expect that they may very well move it now. Unions are pissed b/c it is a right to work state. Now gays will be all bent out of shape because of the vote yesterday. Obama will say that he cannot "in good conscience" have his party's convention in such a backwards state.

Fr. Zuhlsdorf is not happy about a portion of Obama's response:
quote:
In endorsing unnatural sex, Obama invoked Christ’s Sacrifice on the Cross.
quote:
“This is something that, you know, [Michelle and I have] talked about over the years and she, you know, she feels the same way, she feels the same way that I do. And that is that, in the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people and, you know, I, you know, we are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated…”
Christ’s Sacrifice? The “Golden Rule”? Christians understand that both are reflections of sacrificial love, charity, the former the ultimate example of the God man, the later human and earthly which echoes the former (cf. Luke 10:25-28). Obama instrumentalized the Lord’s Sacrifice, the ultimate act of the love which is charity, to promote unnatural sex and the overturning of one of our most important societal bonds. We, according to charity, must act for the true good of the other. It is not for the true good of another person to help them to sin or to undermine Christian morals. But that is exactly what Obama is doing. This is an astounding example of both scandal and blasphemy. It is beyond absurd to to invoke the Lord’s Sacrifice in an attempt to violate our human nature and God’s laws. Obama invoked the Sacrifice of the Cross for the sake of justifying the destruction of the definition of “marriage”, as if that is “good” for people. It is NOT for the good of anyone, because it promotes and condones a sin that cries to heaven. We cannot wish that people sin. We cannot help them sin. We cannot tell them that sin is good. We cannot give them the means to sin so that they will sin. We cannot defend the sins of others. In charity, we must treat people with the affliction of sex-sex attraction according to their God-given dignity. In charity, we can NEVER condone their sinful acts. It is the sin that we repudiate, not the people. It can NEVER… NEVER be an act of Christian charity to call evil acts good, or to condone them, or to say that they are acceptable, or publicly to undermine morals that stem from our human nature. It can NEVER… NEVER… be a matter of “Golden Rule”, which is rooted in the true sacrificial love which is charity, to promote a change in the definition of marriage so that “same-sex marriage” can be marriage’s equivalent in any way. What the President did was vile. Even though everyone knew that was his position, how vile to hear it framed in that way, publicly given voice. He is an embarrassment to the United States. He is actively tearing at one of society’s most important social bonds. What he did is harmful to our country and to every citizen of every age, even those of same-sex attractions. It was NOT a reflection of either charity or the Golden Rule in any Christian sense. The Golden Rule does NOT mean “you do what you want and I’ll do what I want”. Pres. Obama MUST be voted out of office. St. Augustine teaches about charity, about real love, in his commentaries on the First Letter of John. Augustine describes three kinds of love. He explains that the greatest way of earthly love is enemy love, true charity for those who wish you ill and harm you. I pray that I will be able to come to this sort of charity, in which I – may God have mercy on me and give me grace- fail so very often.

Would be nice but there's no way Obama's just gonna gift wrap the state to Romney like that. Either way you're right it and interesting mix the democrats have concocted for themselves.

Did you notice that he's taking issue with Obama's use of religion to justify his stance?

In the states that allow gay marriages which one will be the first to let prison inmates marry and share a cell? Or will federal prisons be the first to allow it to occur now that our President has come out in support of same sex marriages?
