Report: Biden Had to Apologize to Obama for Forcing Him to Support Gay Marriage
Weekly Standard

Report: Biden Had to Apologize to Obama for Forcing Him to Support Gay Marriage Biden reassures everyone Obama is still the "leader" on gay marriage. Mark Hemingway May 10, 2012 7:16 PM

Bloomberg reports that Biden went to Obama yesterday morning to apologize for painting him into a corner on gay marriage:

Vice President Joe Biden apologized to President Barack Obama for making remarks that prompted the president to disclose his support for same-sex marriage before he planned to, according to an administration official.

Biden delivered the apology to the president yesterday morning, before Obama gave an interview to ABC News in which he said he’s had a change of heart and now supports legal gay marriage, the official said.

Biden’s remarks in a May 6 broadcast of NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he is “absolutely comfortable” with same-sex marriage forced the president to speed up his timetable for revealing his position, administration officials said.

“The president has been the leader on this issue from Day One and the vice president never intended to distract from that,” Kendra Barkoff, Biden’s press secretary, said in an e- mail.

Don't worry, Obama's still in charge! Again, who could have forseen that Biden's incessant logorrhea would end up humiliating the president and forcing him to do something with potentially disastrous political consequences?

C’mon the whole thing was scripted to coincide with N. Carolina shooting down gay marriage (sic) and then playing the “bully” card on Mitt.

The Democrats don’t say “hello” without war gaming it. This was planned.

It was also scripted for George "I'm not gay" Clooney's Hollyweird fundraiser.

Now Obama has an excuse to dump Biden for somebody else in the VP slot.

It was planned for the convention -- notably, so was the bully story! That's why Stu White's lying wasn't properly vetted. But this silly post-fiasco portion with Biden kow-towing is just kabuki.

And now, JPM’s $2B crash is gonna wipe Bobo’s Big Gay Moment right off the map. Takeaway: Bobo did for Mittens what Mittens couldn’t do for himself - turn evangelicals into must-vote ABOs.

Damn right it was scripted. Every damn thing he does is.

Hey Obie....Have you checked on your son's family lately...or will that be closer to the election. Will the Chicago boys "plant" nooses?? Yeh...That's how dirty I think you all are.

Despite it all, I love my country....now to get it back on track....

I hardly think so. Crazy Joe Biden shoots his mouth off all the time.

The Queer "marriage" issue was something Obama definitely didn't want to address head on because it alienates regular voters.

Even his union supporters (the blue collar Irish types in places like Detroit and Chicago) don't want to be labeled in the homosexual party.

But, it's too late for that now. The democrat party IS officially the homosexual party.

It would be interesting to know what other secret plans Mr. Flexible Obama has in store for us after the election.

As long as Obama is gone who cares who he blames it on?

Right. Joe Biden, a career politician, just happened to jump the gun on Obama. Joe might be a gaff-master, but he isn't a total idiot.

If Obama was truthful he planned to say this before the convention, why the apology?

Exactly. The Soros Administration had it all planned out a long time ago.

Hard to believe the “Weekly Standard” would fall for this story.
