Obama Seeks Gay Vote

By Douglas V. Gibbs

What's the answer to the question?

Whatever benefits the liberal most at the moment.

When President Obama was still Presidential Candidate Obama, because the polls said that most people believed marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman, Barack Obama claimed the same.  Meanwhile, so as not to lose the gay vote, he also indicated he planned to eliminate "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" from the military rule book.

Obama's presidency has not made the strides toward assisting the gay agenda as he promised, and the homosexual voting block has been feeling dissed by him.  Barry's socialist agenda, massive spending, and a whole laundry list of other actions, has angered many Americans, and he is fully aware that re-election to the presidency is hardly a shoe-in.  Barack Obama is pandering to every liberal group he can, while also demonizing his opposition as much as possible hoping to demoralize the republican voters right out of the voting booth.  Among those groups he seeks votes from, are those that support the gay agenda.

Joe Biden recently came out in support of gay marriage, and the media went crazy, because the admission opposed Barry's position from his days as a candidate.  Biden was accused of letting loose yet another gaffe, putting his foot in his mouth, and forcing Obama to take a position - and I think it was planned to play out as it has all along.

Biden didn't accidentally let the cat out of the bag. The planners and handlers of the Obama administration carefully concocted this so that the administration could appeal to the gay vote, while also keeping Obama from having to take a position.

The problem for the Obama administration, however, was that people wanted more. They desired that Barry come out with a position on the issue. Fine. Obama's speech writers came up with a grand soliloquy, where Barack explains his evolution, his observances of loving gay couples, telling a story that seems to be more designed to convince America to evolve with him, than to clarify his stance.

The truth of what is rattling around in Barry's skull may never be known, because Obama is now in support of gay marriage because he needs the votes, and it best benefits his campaign to take that position.

What is amazing about all of this is a few decades ago we would never have dreamed that gay marriage would be an issue. It was commonly accepted that homosexuality, while a reality in our society, is an unnatural lifestyle. It was also commonly understood that gays wanted nothing to do with marriage. They mocked marriage. They condemned marriage as a dying institution of a religiosity they wanted nothing to do with.

Then, the homosexual agenda realized that "demanding the right to marry" would further their cause much faster, and efficiently, than ridiculing the institution. What better way to destroy marriage than to demand it for those that it was never intended? Then, they could claim it to be a constitutional right, which would give the gay agenda the ultimate tool, for then they could use it to force those that oppose their lifestyle to marry them, and then bring lawsuits against churches for violating their constitutional right to marry when a church refuses. "What a great idea," I am sure many of the members of the gay community have been thinking. . . destroy marriage, and the church, in one fell swoop.

Obama could care less about all of that. He just wants their votes - and he is willing to play them like a fiddle to get them, as the States work in the other direction.
