Obama: ‘Americans are on our side’ on same-sex marriage

Scooping up dollars for his campaign at a New York fundraiser, President Barack Obama told supporters on Monday that "the American people are on our side" when it comes to issues like same-sex marriage.

The president spoke at an event hosted by openly gay singer Ricky Martin, the LGBT Leadership Council and the Futuro Fund, where he tied his announced support for gay marriage last week to past civil rights struggles.

"We have never gone wrong when we expanded rights and responsibilities to everybody," the president said to cheers from the audience. "That doesn't weaken families, that strengthens families. It's the right thing to do."

His comments came after presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney told graduating students at Liberty University, a school founded by the late conservative televangelist Jerry Falwell, that marriage is between "one man and one woman."

"The good news is, I think the American people are on our side on this," Obama said at the New York event. Polls show that Americans are deeply divided on gay marriage. Younger Americans -- a key part of the president's history-making 2008 coalition -- tend to be more supportive.

"The good news is, I think the American people are on our side on this," Obama said at the New York event.

Yes, and MSM polls suggest the same thing. Yet, when it was put to a vote in thirty-two states in the union, "gay marriage" was rejected each and every time. The only states where "gay marriage" is allowed are states in which judges imposed it on the citizenry.

I wonder if this "most people accept gay marriage" meme is akin to the other liberal lie that 10% of the population is gay. They must think if they say it enough, it will come true. NOT.

That Kenyan faggot better think again, the American are NOT on the side of sodomy, and they are not in favor of men buggering each other.

President Abomination in a speech says . . . "the American people are on our side" when it comes to issues like same-sex marriage.

Your professors 50 years ago said I had to take God out of the school system and we did

25 years ago you all said I had to accept the slaughter of unborn children and we did

Now you telling me I have to accept the "unnatural" union of genders. And of course we will

Uh . . . so whats next on the agenda

[skeeter]

If the American people are on your side, president Buffoon, then by all means please keep on hammering the gay marraige issue all the way through November.

Obama is on the wrong side of history.......the past.

[RavenATB]

“His side”...that would be the back-side...

[boop]

Read liberal "goals". The next step is sex with children.

There's a reason why gay pride marches don't beat NAMBLA guys in the parade to a pulp. They AGREE with them.

[Gay State Conservative]

Riddle me this,Osama...is there a *single* state in this country in which homosexual “marriage” would prevail in a statewide referendum????????

[saywhatagain]

Sex with children next?

. . . and then the boys who were laughed at 50 years ago for doin their billy goats will be the next poster child?

uhmmmmm . . . sounds bout right.

I can see the headlines

Today, the first congressman declared that his billy goat deserves medical insurance. This is clearly a "civil rights issue, he argued.

and so on and on we go.

And if you dare call it perversion, then you are clearly a bigot and intolerant.

More important is that Obama not on God’s side.

1 POS Atheist wants to take prayer out of schools and it’s a done deal.

Over Half the country is against fudge packers marrying, and it being offensive to them means nothing to the 1st. gay President.

[Williams]

Don’t you know that to liberals, only other liberals count as fellow Americans.

The rest of us are Nazis and enemies of the common good.

[freeangel]

FUBO! You don’t speak for this American. Do you know what an American really is?

[Hotlanta Mike]

In particular the Village People...

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

The REAL polls were held in 31 states: 60-40 against.

Those were real votes...not push poll opinions.

Well, the good news is you’ll soon be able to marry your dog.

And bad news, more that one women at the same time... which sounds like hell on Earth to me. (just kidding honey).
