No one is talking about soft-peddling the issue. It just shouldn't be the centerpiece of the campaign, which should be a referendum on Obama and his poliices.

I am sure the SuperPacs will be hitting this issue hard as will other interest groups. We have an economy in the tank, high unemployment, a $15.7 trillion debt and $1 trillion plus budget deficits for the last three years (soon to be four), Obamacare, a downgrade of credit rating, a backdoor amnesty, an out of control EPA that is shutting down our economy thru regulations, and a host of other issues.

Obama wants us to focus on gay marriage and what ever else he tosses out there to distract us. He wants to set the agenda about what this election is going to be about. We must make sure it is about Obama and his policies. Of course, gay marriage will be part of this campaign. We just disagree as to how central it will be. We will just agree to disagree.

>> Obama has thought about gay marriage for a couple years <<

Not entirely correct. He said he was FOR IT way back in 1996, when he was running for the Illinois Senate.

True..its hard to keep up with the human lie machine that is B.O. However, I was going by his latest statement.

Obama does support GBLT, GLBT in writing for the US Department of State. Do a FOIA Request to see what comes out every June (Gay Pride Month), which is another celebrated Federal Holiday like Asian Pacific Islander, Black, Women's, etc. Months. SecState Hillary R. Clinton has signed edits, letters, memos and put Gay Issues into writing. Did you know that your gay partner is entitled to same housing allowances, educational allowances, spouse employee preferences, and protections against alleged slights by using EEO and Inspector General to file complaints - Gays are already receiving Federally mandated funding via the US Department of State. Where is the MSM to investigate these facts. Having been a member of the Foreign Service, June is Gay Appreciation Month, and all gays receive the same benefits as normal family members/spouses. Period. Obama does support this issue in writing - go the US Department of State and do the Freedom of Information Request or goggle it online.

Some here should stop slaming Romney about that as it is Obama , current POTUS shamefully who declared his gay support !

May be Obamination made that statement for political reasons
and also, and firstable ,because he is a liberal puppet promoting an agenda of destruction of our western values and civilisation....Anyway it could backclash against ObHamas if republicans and conservative are smart enough to use that properly .

Watched CNN yesterday night from France . They were in full propaganda mode for gay mariage . Those liberal activists are not putting gloves anymore and don’t even try to look fair and balanced . They are trying to portray opponents to gay mariage as retards and bigots as usual....

Why is this even an issue? Fudgepacking is abnormal behavior, not a civil right!
