State's Rights and the Poseur


            —   Gawker, you stupid berk.   

GAWKER- Barack Obama’s Bullshit Gay Marriage Announcement

ABC News has only released one brief clip of Obama's conversation about gay marriage today, but it seems fairly clear from the network's coverage that his announcement amounts to much less than meets the eye. He now believes that gay couples should be able to marry. He doesn't believe they have a right to do so. This is like saying that black children and white children ought to attend the same schools, but if the people of Alabama reject that notion—what are you gonna do?

The key language in the ABC News write-up is this:

The president stressed that this is a personal position, and that he still supports the concept of states deciding the issue on their own.

Gawker will reliably express the view of the left-wing corksucking elite, and so he does here.  While it is true that Obama is lying thorough his ass, as usual, about what he believes and does not; I'm trying to think of a single other instance when the man said anything as remotely squared up with United States Constitution? 

Gawker's clueless rejoinder is "Well, before Roe v. Wade, abortion was a state-by-state issue, too. So was slavery. " 

That's right, you berk.

So,
why did it take a constitutional amendment to end slavery, but it didn't take one to guarantee abortions?
(rhetorical)

Trees = 0bama's ever-changing stance on gay marriage

Forest = ever-worsening job numbers

Don't let them sidetrack you--it's the economy stupid.

"Well that's nice, now how about some jobs."
"Well that's nice, but with both of us unemployed we can't afford to move out from our parent's houses and get married."
"Well it would be nice if I could put my partner on my employee health insurance but the company folded and I don't have health insurance anymore."
"So over two thirds of those in the poll say the country is heading in the wrong direction but 46% say they are in favor of Obama. Somebody is lying."

DougM- The same reason it took an amendment to outlaw alcohol, but a mere act of Congress to outlaw marijuana. (Oh. Neither worked out well.)

But yeah, as usual, Teh Won's statement is an attempt to have it both ways.
Ask him, and he'll tell you his favorite color is plaid.
IT'S THE ECONOMY!!
