On September 21, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA):

“I have long opposed governmental recognition of same-gender marriages and this legislation is consistent with that position.”

This is consistent with Barack Obama’s statement when he ran for Senate in 2004: U.S. Senate seat in 2004, he told the Windy City Times:

“I am not a supporter of gay marriage ... I think that marriage, in the minds of a lot of voters, has a religious connotation. ...”

When running for President, Obama stated April 17, 2008:

I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”

President Obama’s abrupt switch to punishing States holding his 2008 views - views also held by President Bill Clinton - reveals that he either had an unanticipated epiphany or he was deceitful while campaigning.

When President Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, he stated:

“The word ‘marriage’ means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word ‘spouse’ refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.”

Deceitful, everything about him was/is deceitful.
An excellent way of putting what happened with, “suing states that agreed with him in 2008.” Suing Catholic Nuns over religious freedom, he agreed with while campaigning for Potus. I am still so mad about him and what he and his cohorts did to our country, still feeling it.

I pick the third option.

His bosses told him to change his views.

Until and unless we know the names of those bosses we will never be able to reclaim our republic.

I hate most politicians even more so on our “side”. Political parties are despicable.
