I heard some commentator yesterday who said that the Obama coming out party was a total fiasco by the democrats... that Obama had intended to hold his little gay marriage approval speech until later in the campaign but that Biden forced his hand.
Rush and others think it was all orchestrated, so I don’t know, but I would totally believe that Biden blundered. It’s what he does.
Biden did exactly as he was instructed. He went on Meet the Press and extolled his love of gay marriage to the world.
It was their way of getting their fundraiser of the week under way. They got to figure out ways to bring up the topic so it don’t look like they’re bringing up the topic.
So they got Steponallofus to mention contraceptive during the presidential debate out of nowhere, anybody think that was a coinkydink?
They got that CNN lesbian babe to lambaste Ann Romney, anybody think that was a coinkydink?
They get Biden to go on TV and bring up the subject then pretend he gaffed, he “forced” Obama into showing his hand. Coinkydink?
This administration makes the media look like idiotic puppets.
At some point everyone reaches a point of getting tired of the mockery.
I wonder when the media will flip the admin using them so easily...the bird.
On Monday Education Secretary, Arnie Duncan, a basketball buddy of Obama, endorses gay marriage. On Tuesday we have the vote in NC that the polls showed clearly the amendment would be approved.
On Wednesday, Obama summons an ABC gay, black reporter, Robin Roberts, to the WH for an exclusive interview to announce his "momentous" decision. He has evolved. The announcement sucks all the air out of what happened on Tuesday in NC and WVA, where a convict gets 40% of the Dem vote for President in the primary. It also sets Obama up for a huge fund raiser in Hollywood at Clooney's house, a function that had been set up some time ago.
On Thursday, the WP comes out with a lengthy story about Romney's high school days, including an incident that makes Romney look like a bully and a homophobe. ABC and the WP work closely together. They sponsor joint opinion polls among other things. It might explain why Obama selected ABC for the interview including naming the reporter that would be allowed to do it.
So is the timing of all of this a coincidence? How convenient is it that the WP had an article on Romney ready to go as soon as Obama made his announcement? The article had to take weeks of research.
Perhaps the timetable was moved up, but given the fundraising event, the NC ballot/primary, and the WP story, I tend to believe that this was all planned and orchestrated to occur on schedule. Also, given the fact that one out of six of Obama's biggest fundraisers are gay, he needed to open the spigots sooner rather than later. And a compliant and cooperative MSM would help him get the message out. This all smacks of Plouffe and Axelrod.
