Biden apologizes to Obama over shotgun comments on gay marriage
Yahoo! News ^ | May 10, 2012 | Olivier Knox

Vice President Joe Biden apologized to President Barack Obama Wednesday in the Oval Office for jumping the gun on the administration's public embrace of same-sex marriage and forcing his boss's hand, a person knowledgeable on the contrite exchange told Yahoo News on Thursday.

"The vice president expressed remorse, regret," said the individual, who requested anonymity to describe an unusual, private exchange between the buttoned-up Obama and his freewheeling vice president. The president told Biden, the individual said, that he understood Biden's comments on Sunday had come "from the heart."

The source described Obama's response as very similar to his public comments in an interview with ABC News's Robin Roberts, with whom he shared his history-making announcement that he backed the right of gay couples to marry.

I still remember Obama’s gaffe of “Punished by a baby.”

Just something I can’t escape as I travel 57 states.

Obama can’t run on his record, so he runs with a script. This is nothing but theater. Lies, lies and more fing lies.

Total BS. Given that the WaP0 had the mittens 11 page gay bashing story all ready to go the day after, this is just another straw man created to keep the focus off the economy.

Totally planned and coordinated.

What did the WaP0 know and when did it know it? Contacts with AxleShaft? Ploofer?

The only shocking thing here is that they really believe the country is clueless. This level of acting would get them banned from a Mickey Rooney barnyard production.

Yup, this was all just an accident and Joe jumped the gun...of course it is. No, this wasn’t stage managed to get the desired outcome from all those reluctant gay bundlers...of course it wasn’t.

Now granted, Biden IS that stupid. But Not this time. He played his role like a pro.

The orchestration continues, despite it’s obviousness.

The political theater continues. This is all a charade. Biden, Duncan, ABC, and the WP were all in on this shameless attempt to divert and distract from what happened on Tuesday and what is going on in Europe re the deteriorating economic conditions.

Gay marriage will now be the topic for the next few weeks.

Plugs must have heard the discussion some time ago and just thought that it was pretty much common knowledge that Bambi would support it. That’s one on you Biden..and another one on you Bambi!

Biden was the frontrunner. If no outrage, then it was safe for Obama to step up and claim the glory.
