Paving the way

1996: As a candidate for the Illinois state senate, Obama filled out a questionnaire from Outlines, a local gay and lesbian newspaper, saying, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriages."

2008: As a candidate for president, Obama he said he believed marriage was an institution between "one man and one woman."

2012: As president, Obama announced that he favored same-sex marriage. In a subsequent interview he admitted that it’s "fair to say that I may have come to that realization (that same-sex marriage is okay) slightly before I actually made the announcement (like, say, 16 years before?). But this was not a situation where I kind of did a wink and a nod and a 180-degree turn."

Obama’s administration has refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act signed by Bill Clinton. It has eliminated Don’t Ask-Don’t Tell and allowed overt homosexuality in the military. It has recently announced that it will honor same-sex marriages in Utah even though the State of Utah doesn’t. This amounts to full-throated support for homosexual marriages. Could it all add up to Obama preparing the way for his second marriage after his second term is over and Michelle dumps him?

In honor of Roe vs Wade

The White House released a statement from President Obama on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. In this statement the president made the pronouncement that America "is a country where everyone deserves the same freedom and opportunities to fulfill their dreams." The problem with this statement is, for him, "everyone" does not include children who have not yet breathed fresh air. His statement also spoke of a woman’s choices about her body and renewed his dedication "to protecting a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care and her constitutional right to privacy, including the right to reproductive freedom."

Let's clarify the president's terminology. First, the term "reproductive freedom" actually means "the right to have your pre-born child slaughtered by a so-called health professional." Second, the phrase "a woman’s access to safe, affordable health care" can be translated into "no women should actually have to pay for her abortion." I wonder if the president knows that abortion is the number one cause of death in the black commmunity.
