Obama announces his support for same-sex marriage
ABC OTUS News ^ | May 9, 2012 | Rick Klein

Posted on 05/09/2012 11:43:02 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

President Obama today announced that he now supports

same-sex marriage, reversing his longstanding opposition amid growing pressure

from the Democratic base and even his own vice president.

In an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the president

described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this place,

based on conversations with his own staff members, openly gay and lesbian

service members, and conversations with his wife and own daughters.

"I have to tell you that over the course of several

years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about

members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous

relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I

think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there

fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't

Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at

a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for

me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get

married,” Obama told Roberts, in an interview to appear on ABC’s “Good Morning

America” Thursday. Excerpts of the interview will air tonight on ABC’s “World

News with Diane Sawyer.”

But of course. The “moral-degenerate in chief” supports moral-degeneracy. And now has finally put it on the record. It’s an all-out crime that someone like Obama is living in the White House. He belongs in a gutter.

LOL! Even after the NC results.

Prop 8 won in CA because Obama brought out a LOT of the black vote and most of them voted for Prop 8. I received pro Prop 8 flyers in the mail citing Obama’s opposition to gay marriage.

Popcorn time.

What a pathetic phony. This fake 'thought process evolution' is nauseating. Mr. Gutsy Call, eh?

The left, and their ideological “father”, have been out to destroy the family as an institution since its inception.

Why is there any surprise a government hack is opposed to the will of the people. Lugar got his walking papers.

Here in CA we voted for Prop 8 yet the legislator still passes laws for tyranny of the minority.

Nah. That argument is moot. One is campaigning on opposing it; the other is for it. Obama will be the gay choice.

Where homosexual marriage is the wedge issue, those for will vote for Obama, those opposed will vote for Romney.

"conversations with his wife and own daughters"

And While I'm at it!!! What credentials do his daughters have in this issue? Why should he even bring them into this? They've never been in any relationship in their lives (a la criticism of Ann Romney).

I suspect that he wants a same sex marriage for himself.I doubt that the Moose would really care at this point.

Yes, it is funny when leftists start believing their own lies.

“Project 10” has been around for a long time. It’s the method of “jamming” that the left uses to impose their worldview whenever possible. The idea was to assert, at any given opportunity, that 10% of the population are homos.

I actually was at a dinner one night where the lone sheeperal blurted this out, totally out of context and non-sequitur to the conversation.

Everyone looked at her with a WTF expression on their faces.
