Obama's Big Gay Failure

Obama told the press last week that he would not support the Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed into law by Bill Clinton.

Really? So now you are pretending to support gay rights? Where the hell was this concern the 2 years you had the Congress?

If he didn't like the law, he should have fought to change it. Nope, that would have pisses off his minority base, who overwhelmingly oppose gay rights. The reason he is doing this now is because it is a political ploy. He learned all about that during his reign in Chicago.

It is the job of ...the Attorney General"s office to defend each law. In this case the Pres has told them not to since he doesn't agree with the law. As I've said, I do NOT agree that DOMA is constitutional. As a Libertarian, I believe in gay rights 100% but I'm even more opposed to dirty politics. Obama had 2 years of Democrats controlling the house and he could have changed the law then. But he didn't, because this is a political ploy. He has stated many times that he does not believe in gay marriage and he has to say that because his largest base, the black voters, largely do not believe in gay marriage. Why do you think that prop 9 didn't pass in the ultra liberal California? Because minorities voted it down. Even though gay rights movements attacked white churches because they would not dare attack the black or Hispanic churches.

He is now simply giving the illusion that he supports gay rights and that is the kind of politics practices.
