He shouldn't have done it for gay marriage, but he opened this can of worms by doing that.

You know George W. Bush would have lit it up blue in a heartbeat.

Obama has been a poor president for a multitude of reasons, but this just seems like a bit of faux outrage at this point.

What the hell does that have anything to do with it? Are we really going to talk about anger level comparisons between LSU and South Carolina fans?

And as if that has anything to do with this damn thread.. Logic State University indeed.

Whether you like him or hate him, his time is up in a number of months. To sit around and get angry about the lack of blue lights outside of the White House is absurd.

True, but it is his own doing. He never should have made the White House rainbow after that case. He started it.

Yeah, just what this country needs, more "dislikers" (since you won't use the word "hate")

That was just spiking the football. He wouldn't go out of his way to support people who actually matter.

Agreed. Did he change it purple after Prince died or is that fake?

No it is not! It shows how he truly feels about current situation.

We have a reason to be angry. We actually have a competive football program.

Pretty sure that's fake. But the rainbow thing is real.

And make no mistake, he didn't do that to show solidarity with the gay community or because he gives a shite about gay marriage. He did it for one reason and one reason only, to rub it in the face of bible thumping Christians that he absolutely looks down upon and despises. A lot of what he's done the past few years has basically been a big frick you to people he doesn't like. He's a child.

Sure, but they didn't change it to rainbow after the Orlando shooting, did they? Regardless, I think that there are more substantive criticisms of his handling of police issues than a hollow lighting of the White House.

There are roughly between 30-50 cops killed per year in the line of duty. There has also been an increase. What's the White House going to do, have it lit blue 1-2 times per week? Light it his week and it will have to be lit the next, and the next, and so forth. Orlando was a mass shooting with 49 killed. Our county was targeted. Get a grip folks.

Word on the street is that he's painting the white house black in support for BLM!

So of he happened to light the White House blue, does that somehow absolve him of the substantive criticisms regarding his handling of these issues?

In other words, this is superficial outrage that avoids the core of these issues.
