Obama: Gay for Pay

 Washington Free Beacon: OBAMA REVERSAL ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE COMES JUST DAYS AFTER DONORS THREATENED TO WITHHOLD FUNDS

"The Washington Post noted on Tuesday that roughly 20 percent of Obama top campaign bundlers—who are responsible for arranging $500,000 and up—“publicly identified themselves as gay.”  

"Obama’s announcement fits a pattern of changing positions on major issues for what appear to be financially motivated reasons." Via Lucianne

Steve McCann: Obama's politics of distraction  "While Europe is inching ever closer to plunging into a financial abyss, there are moments of comic relief provided by the current President of the United States.  He has not only become the butt of innumerable jokes but his re-election campaign tactics are the stuff of low-brow comedy. A case in point, his recent "evolution" in to supporting gay marriage."
 ....Quoting from this UK Telegraph article: Obama's cynical endorsement of gay marriage is a gift to Mitt Romney:

As for gay rights campaigners, I hope they won't be fooled by this empty, cynical gesture.  Why did Obama wait until after the North Carolina vote to back gay marriage?

Cowardice, perhaps?  Ladies and gentlemen, Obama is a politician.  He'll take your money and your votes and give you nothing in return.  At least Mitt Romney might cut your taxes.

 

• Obama hits the motherlode after gay marriage statement
• That was no Biden gaffe 
• Much more on this here.
• Obama "evolves", but Romney "flip-flops".  Don't you love "journalists"?

Alan Caruba: Gay Marriage is Obama's Poison Pill   "Urbanites and suburbanites may say that they are okay with gay marriage, but what they tell pollsters and what they say privately among friends and family is far different. Americans may want to be tolerant, but their distaste for the gay lifestyle and incessant demands for acceptance is deeply offensive to most people."

Heritage Culture Watch: President Obama and the Truth About Marriage  "The reason the state is in the marriage business in the first place is because sex makes babies and babies need mothers and fathers. As one source has put it, “but for children, there would be no need of any institution concerned with sex.” That “institution” is marriage, and it brings together men and women as husbands and wives to become fathers and mothers to any children their unions bring forth.
"This binding together doesn’t happen by accident. Binding fathers to mothers and their children requires strong cultural and legal norms to channel adult sexual desire and behavior into an institution where childbearing leads to responsible childrearing."


The DOJ’s Unprofessionalism in Its Attack on Traditional Marriage  "Next, Attorney General Eric Holder announced in February that the Justice Department would no longer defend DOMA in court, but that the President had directed executive agencies to continue enforcing DOMA unless it is repealed by Congress or the judicial branch renders a “definitive verdict” against the law’s constitutionality.

"Now the Justice Department has gone even further, filing a strongly-worded brief in federal court in San Francisco in Golinski v. United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) arguing that DOMA was motivated by hostility toward gays and lesbians and is unconstitutional."
