Yesterday Obama said this in his inauguration address:
It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
Gay marriage supporters saw this as a clarion call for gay rights.
Fast forward to today:
WASHINGTON EXAMINER – President Obama’s inaugural speech yesterday was widely hailed by gay activists after he called for marriage equality for same-sex couples.
Today, however, the White House reaffirmed the president’s position that the issue should be decided by the states, rather than the federal government.
“The president believes that it’s an issue that should be addressed by the States,” Carney asserted at the White House Press Briefing today when asked by a reporter about the issue.
But I thought Obama was the first gay president? Why still delegate this issue to the states if he believes there should be marriage equality? After all, health care had to be a federal issue, why not gay marriage? I mean, they were born that way right???
Because maybe Obama doesn’t believe in it after all and it’s just a ploy to get votes to keep him in power. Yeah, that sounds much more likely. He’s got those idiots in the palm of his hand. They should have known better than to trust that he really believes in gay marriage. After all, election year conversions should always be highly suspicious.
Also, what would the Muslim Brotherhood say?
