Obama lectures Kenyan president on gay rights

President Barack Obama on Saturday lectured Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta about his country's gay rights record.

"When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they are doing to anybody, but because they are different, that's the path whereby freedoms begin to erode," Obama said at a joint press conference with the Kenyan leader in Nairobi. "And bad things happen."

Under Kenyan law, sexual activity between men is illegal and punishable with a maximum imprisonment of 14 years. Many Kenyan leaders had encouraged Obama not to discuss gay rights on his first trip to the country as President.

But Obama equated legalized discrimination of gays to legalized racism in America.

"And when a government gets in a habit of people treating people differently, those habits can spread," Obama continued. "As an African-American, I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently under the law."

America is rushing headlong into hell and dragging the rest of the free world along for the ride.

Yet all Barack Obama is concerned with is promoting homosexuality, spreading Islam and screwing over patriotic white Christian Americans.

"As an African-American, I am painfully aware of what happens when people are treated differently under the law."

"As an example I know of a former Secretary of State that had lots of official and classified data on a non-governmental server not under the control of the government at all. Nobody is doing squat about it. See what I mean?"

I’d rather he just came out, moved Reggie in and be done with it. He already turned the place Rainbow and Reg wouldn’t be worse than Mooch as the first Lady.

Obama is an LGBT pimp and purveyor. The Kenyan president is a man of much higher honor. Kenyans dont want the crap OZero is selling but he shoves it down their throats anyway.

Hmmm. Isn’t there “some book” out there that talks about it being, uh, unsavory.

The Kenyan president should have reminded the moron about AIDS.

Some leaders use their power to try and fight hunger, drought, war and things like that over in Africa. Obama opts to try and promote sin. Figures.

It is unbelievable to me that the President of The United States is promoting a man to perform fellatio on a penis one day and then take it up the a$$ the next.

This narcissistic bastard probably fellates himself.

"So Much In Love"

As we stroll along together
Holding hands, walking all alone
So in love are we two
That we don't know what to do
So in love
In a world of our own

As we stroll by the sea together
Under stars twinkling high above
So in love are we two
No one else but me and you
So in love
So much in love
So in love
So much in love...

“When you start treating people differently not because of any harm they are doing to anybody, but because they are different, that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode,” Geeze, that sounds like the ‘misson statement’ for how he treats his political opponents here in the US

Blacks are born black...you can’t change your skin color..

Being gay is a lifestyle choice...

I wonder if blacks get insulted when Obama makes that comparison....
