“I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian…it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.” - Barack Obama, 2008.


Either he is no longer a Christian, or he has decided to rewrite the teachings of Christianity, or God has been tossed out of the mix. I wonder which answer Obama prefers.

Uh, a personal belief isn't the same as a political stance.

It was in 2008. Many of these voters are highly unlikely to vote for someone who does not share their values and faith.
Well, and it seems that a lot of voters were at least mistrustful of him on the issue regardless of what he might say.  So I guess one way to put it is that either the view was very much incidental (i.e. he held it but didn't really care) or he was lying.

Of course, would someone please reconcile his present views with the old "Obama is a Muslim" nonsense?  That ought to be rich!

Well, that certainly doesn't work at all. A Muslim would not endorse homosexual marriage.

Maybe my attitude is a bit patronizing. But if they want to act like children and vote for Keith Judd out of spite, then my natural attitude toward them will be patronizing.

And I think "Obama's war on coal" meme is spectacularly overblown. And why are Republicans trying to hammer this into the ground? Because it provides an excellent red herring for voters in West Virginia and Kentucky who already hate Obama.

The administration has tried to adjust coal regulations, but it's not based on a desire to wipe out the coal industry. It's one that promotes alternative energy sources and cleaner extraction of fossil fuels. And let's face it, the coal industry has not been to a friend to the environment.

Also, natural gas prices have become cheaper than coal which has hurt the industry. So market forces beyond Obama's control have probably done more to hurt the coal industry.
You think coal country voters care about whether Obama has a desire to wipe out the industry?  No, they only care about his policies.

He's the evil (imaginary) twin of the President that a lot of people seem to want to pretend is in office.

Just look at the Justice Department.

If you're going to attack your fellow democrats as racists for not voting for 0bama because he's black don't forget to attack your fellow democrats who voted for 0bama just because he is black.  If 0bama were all white, Hillary would be President now.

Is that really why you think all Democrats voted for Obama? Because he's black?? Oh my god you're being ridiculous dude! I guess you think it works both ways: a lot of Republicans voted for McCain because he was white so therefore there much have been a ton of democrats who voted for him because he's black. LOL that's cute. I promise you, McCain got many more votes from racists that did Obama.

I know this is hard for you to believe, but most Obama voters just really liked him or his policies. And sure, black people voted for him almost unanimously, but they've been loyal democrats for decades.

Nice try.
