WASHINGTON (AP) --

The Obama administration has filed court papers claiming a federal marriage law discriminates against gays, even as it continues to defend the law.

[Rugged Individual]

Disagree. The black community is strongly anti-gay. I don't think Larry Sinclair's boy toy could even get them to go along. Could be a dividing line.

I'm "hoping" that at least 20% of the black community in 2012 realizes this clown is doing nothing for them and also that they (and their children) are being denied opportunity by his destructive economic policies, not to mention his attack on the traditions and institutions that made this country great.

I'm not holding my breath, though.

Obama administration says marriage law unfair

They think The Constitution is unfair, too.

[bestintxas]

it also discriminates against bigamists and those who seek intimate animal companionship.

SO WHAT?????

[SECURE AMERICA]

Lets see.
1. The Federal Government passed a law
2. Now the Federal Government doesn’t like the law
3. The Federal Government will sue in a court of law to have the passed law, overturned.
4. Meanwhile the Federal Government will defend against the law suit in that court of law and try to keep the passed law in place.
Question. Is our Federal Government the New Three Stooges?

let’s see the marriage certificate!

[AbeKrieger]

This should be spread far and wide in the black community, which for the most part opposes gay marriage and heard the O-bot's promise to respect traditional matrimony.

And ultimately would nit have a smidgen of impact because all they see is the black guy and will continue to unquestioningly support him.

Your reflexive condescension is noted.

Think Obama is a switch hitter?

[RightFighter]

I agree with you completely. I post a lot of things on my Facebook page, where I have over 500 friends (people that I actually know). On Saturday morning, I posted an article about the issue of death panels - it was the interview Obama did where he discussed needing to have an independent panel of experts in science, medicine, and ethics who could make tough choices that politcians can’t make. I pointed out that that sounds a lot like a “death panel” and challenged anyone to tell me why Sarah Palin was wrong to say what she did, especially in light of the people Obama surrounds himself with.

Of course, I had a few takers. One just called SP “crazy” and “narcissistic” without giving any specifics, other than to say “do you really think that Congress would implement something so Orwellian?” LOL

Another is concerned about his wife’s illness, and he and I are having a rational, reasoned debate about the issue of healthcare reform.

The third - she called Sarah Palin “the devil” and spouted off about how awful it is in this country that we call good evil and evil good. She then said something about Obama “putting on the whole armor of God” for the fight that is ahead of him. This was my answer to her:

“If I’m reading this right, you’re saying that Barack Obama, who believes in abortion on demand at all stages of pregnancy including partial birth abortion and refused to even support the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, who spent 20 years under the “preaching” of the race-baiting, America-hating “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright, who has been to church maybe once since he was elected President, is somehow on the side of good. Since it doesn’t appear that such a position will ever be reconciled with my view of what is good and what is evil, I’m afraid we’ll have to agree to disagree on that. “

Her answer? In effect - her answer was “it’s a black thing - you wouldn’t understand.” Here’s what she said:

“The day you’ve walked in a black man’s shoes and walk the walk, than you can talk the talk. We than will be able to continue this conversation. “

Crazy, huh?

[AbeKrieger]

Restating the patently obvious...

[Ev Reeman]

If Sarah Palin was so wrong about these “death panels” why did Congress have to remove those provisions?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Okay it is now very official this man is flipping nuts.

I specifically remember him campaigning (THIS AND ORGANIZING MOBS; IS ALL HE KNOWS HOW TO DO) on this very issue and making it clear that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Now he says this... because politically he is losing the independents and his poll numbers are slipping beyond recourse so he has to curt-tail to the ultra gay left.
NEWSFLASH TO GAY PEOPLE: He is lying.

[Ol' Sparky]

Obama is making the same blunders Clinton did in his first two years -- ones that resulted in his approval ratings under 40%. That is where Obama is headed. You can't govern from the far left and not take a beating. He is alienating far more people, including independents, and merely shoring up support on the fringe left. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

“The black community opposes gay marriage for the most part until Obama say’s he’s for it.”

Blacks detest “Sissies” and no matter what Obama says, he cuts his own throat with this kind of talk. When Flip Wilson did his Geraldine shtick years ago, whites loved it while blacks were hoping he'd do a Steven Tyler, fall off the stage and break his neck.

[pollywog]

Amen kingskid!!! AMEN!!!!

[Ev Reeman]

Flip Wilson’s GERALDINE poked gentle fun at black women by emphasizing the stereotype aspects. It was funny but not demeaning and that is why Flip Wilson was so popular. Bill Cosby does the same kind of black humor: racial, emphasizing the stereotype aspects without condescension.

[ExiledChicagoan]

that is why Flip Wilson was so popular.
******

With whites.

“The day you’ve walked in a black man’s shoes and walk the walk, than you can talk the talk

It's an easy walk, when you're dead wrong you have a following who will say your are right. That's the black way - ask OJ, Dr.Gates, AlSharpton and Juanita Brawley.

How can you be friends w/liberals?

[Kickass Conservative]

Remember Biden practically jumping over the Podium at the VP Debate saying he was against Gay Marriage?
