"I like that he stood up for the boyscouts..."

He did nothing of the kind. You are choosing to ignore the underlying danger here. His support for queers to participate in the BSA.

Just see this for what it is. This is put out by Obama. I saw on the Huffington Post today this quote from Obama:“The President believes the Boy Scouts is a valuable organization that has helped educate and build character in American boys for more than a century,” White House spokesperson Shin Inouye said. “He also opposes discrimination in all forms, and as such opposes this policy that discriminates on basis of sexual orientation.” Why do you suppose he put out the same statement they dug up from Romney? I’m saddened to see that you are giving this the exact outcome they hoped for.

I’m saddened to see that you are giving this the exact outcome they hoped for. This is politics pure and simple. At least Romney showed support for the scouts freedom to choose it’s members but it seems to me Obama rushed this statement out to show that he is not so different from Romney. Don’t fall for this.
