Of course he was opposed to gay marriage. That’s why he never married any of his bathhouse buddies....

His voters knew he lied and didn’t care. Lying is a mere tactic for Leftists.

“The insider’s account provides the clearest look yet at Obama’s long-established flip-flop, one of the blemishes on his record as a progressive. “

Spinmeister rewriting history with more lies, and Time dutifully carries the water.

And Axelplouffe takes great pleasure in throwing this in everyone’s face. Revealing this isn't politically expedient for his ‘side’ so either his ginormous ego has caused him to reveal this or he's doing it to reinforce to the American public that the next Presidential candidates will be doing the same. Nothing Axelplouffe does is without a cause.

I have no personal knowledge but I've heard that the Koran allows a follower to lie to conquer the infidels.....

Gay marriage was the little lie. “My Muslim, er, Christian faith” was the big one.

On May 6, 2012, Joe Biden, acting as Obama’s front man, made a big announcement on “HIS” approval of same sex marriage, publicly opposing Obama. It was just days later that Obama had a “come to Satan moment,” and announced his change of heart.

Barack Obama David Axelrod misled Americans for his own political benefit...

Axelrod was just as much involved in this as Obama was. He can't wash his hands of it now and lay it all on Obama.
