Well, yesterday's announcement by Obama will consume a bunch of time this Sunday as most preachers around here rail against gays, Democrats, Obama, the government and how we have to "take it back" (I still don't know who we have to take it back from despite asking several times !), and then in future Sundays, how Obama is going to force Churches and clergy to marry gays against their will, and how the faithful had better vote against him in November, no matter what other hardships that vote may bring on in their families, since God is most concerned with gays, and Sodom and Gomorrah loom large in the future for us if we do not mend our ways. The sermons will be long and hot for the next several weeks....
All Obama did around here is stir the fire under the pot of hatred for him.
Since Obama can't change the law without congress and the chances of congress changing the law are less than zero, what was really accomplished ?(other than making Timbuck eat crow that is !)

Its my opinion, that obama did himself great harm with his statement yesterday. The Hispanic vote he was counting on will take a BIG hit. I fear he also "lost" North Carolina in the process as well...which was one of the "swing" states.

Agree with you.Many Christians will speak out.
Votes will not be there but it's out and he cannot change it now.Can't put toothpaste back into tube.
He had to do something because his Vice President had already gone public ahead of him to look important.
Why do they not just sty out of it?Nothing to him.He gains money for campaign.

North carolina isnt a swing state......you obviously dont follow presidential elections that close.
Obama won NC last time, but there wasnt any talk in the media of him winning it again......
on the other hand, VA., hadnt gone to the dems since 64', and the polls there look good for Obama. it probably has something to do with the womens vote.
why do you think that all of a sudden, people are going to abandon him?
because he believes in equal rights for everyone.??
right now 49% of americans support gay marraige.
those numbers have climbed in recent years(never to return to full bigotry) so mabey you ought to try joining us here in the 21 st century!!!
your grandkids will definately be considerd bassackwards bigots if they cant accept gay folks......my guess is they will accept them whether you want them to or not.
kind of how I have different politics than my grand parents did, becase we lived in very different eras.
last time I checked, romney was in the 20% range with latinos....
bush got 43% of the latino vote and squeeked by in his 04' reeelection bid.
and romneys latino numbers WONT go up!!
mabey you should check in with reality before making huge sweeping assumptions like that!!
are you comfortable with a black president?? something tells me, you are not.

You won't get any argument from me on re-instating Glass-Steagal. I'm no fan of big banks and Wall Street. They ARE out of control. I was against bailing their butts out, by Bush and Obama.
I just can't stand Obama's railing against them & then sucking up to them for money.
If you want to do something about the banks, DO IT! Don't talk.
We listen to the rhetoric, but where are the prosecutions of wall street? The president has failed to pin a single top finance exec on criminal charges since the economic collapse.
Federal prosecutions overall have increased dramatically in such areas as civil rights and health-care fraud. But according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a data-gathering organization at Syracuse University, financial-fraud prosecutions by the Department of Justice are at 20-year lows. They're down 39 percent since 2003, when fraud at Enron and WorldCom led to a series of prosecutions, and are just one third of what they were during the Clinton administration.
Those numbers don’t jive with the jive talk we’re getting from Obama about Wall Street and bankster abuses. He's in their back pocket, so don't expect much from him.

Gimme a break. Your arrogance astounds me at times. YES, I keep up with politics VERY well, Thank you very much for your concern. Ya might outta try better yaself.
Being from California, one would have THOUGHT you would have realized that Hispanic vote is what kept the gay union issue at bay, SEVEAL TIMES, until activist judges lent a helping hand. How many times was it voted down?? 3-4??
every map I have seen of swing states (this election cycle) has included North Carolina (including CNN and ABC) so just what sources are you using besides the DailyKos?

There is a bright side to this monsieur Belmont hill Mitt. Although a baby step it truly shows that change is acceptable. That surely will open many more closed doors for americans. Like legalized marijuana, and other self help herbs. Americans are learning that even with forced efforts to resist, all must succumb to "Mr Change." Survival is dependent on change.

That be something puff never knew. I never pay attention to sexuality, only sex species. I found enlightenment not previously known. Kudos to you!
Puff have found different intellect levels between threads.

Sassy, I think the comments, "gays should be allowed to be as miserable as straights" is just an old (probably bad) joke in this case. I know it is for me, or I would have done something about it long before now. I hope I never have to go the divorce route. I have family going through one now, and it is amazing how ugly it can get between people who once loved each other!
