Speaking in the Rose Garden shortly after the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage was announced, Obama stated that the progressives in society needs to ‘help’ those with deeply held religious beliefs overcome their convictions.
“Opposition in some cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs,” Obama said. “All of us who welcome today’s news should be mindful of that fact. Recognize different viewpoints. Revere our deep commitment to religious freedom.”
“Sometimes there are days like this when that slow and steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt,” Obama said. Although the progress might have seemed slow to gay rights advocates, he added, the nation’s shift on same-sex marriage has been “so quick.”
“But today should also give us hope that on the many issues with which we grapple often painfully real change is possible,” the President continued.

“...steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.”
Interesting choice of words.
Oh, with a bit effort I’m sure he can come with some diabolical assistance to accomplish that goal.
He would like the government to determine the tenets of your faith.
[why is this getting more prophetic every hour?]
Matthew 24:3-25 King James Version (KJV)
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
If I show this article to my father he’ll probably have a stroke.
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
I think ridding Obama and his socialist-environmentalist cohort of their devout religious conviction to the Church of Gaia could be a wonderful thing. Believe me, so-called Environmentalism is simply a substitute religion for the traditional beliefs those Flower Children rejected in the Sixties.
So the problem with people of faith is that they just aren’t liberal? They just aren’t enlightened like Obama is, to understand how glorious homosexuality and homosexual marriage is.
And what’s with these liberals saying we are going towards s more perfect union?? Do they really mean to imply that the founding fathers who out that phrase in the preamble to the constitution, really envisioned homosexual marriage as part of a more perfect union??? What the heck???
Obama has religious beliefs. He believes he is god.
What’s with this “Thunderbolt” reference? He’s used it many times now, like he’s a God dispensing them to direct us to his path.
I see what you did there!
There! Fixed it.
You’re right. What was I thinking. FUBO! And the Reggie you rode in on.
BFL
Great minds think alike.
He sounds like President Calles of Mexico.
"OBAMA: WE NEED TO HELP PEOPLE OVERCOME THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS"
Arbeit Macht Frei
the two biggest lies ever told to the people by the government.
And then He makes His grand entrance.
Unfortunately, few others are as observant.
