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