Barack Obama to gays: DROP DEAD
Senior White House adviser David Axelrod explained Obama’s position thusly:
“The president does oppose same-sex marriage, but he supports equality for gay and lesbian couples, and benefits and other issues, and that has been effectuated in federal agencies under his control,” Axelrod said on MSNBC.
Axelrod noted that Obama had opposed Proposition 8 all along.
“The president opposed Proposition 8 at the time — he felt it was divisive and mean-spirited,” he said, adding that Obama believes that governing marriage is “an issue for the states.”
Gotcha. That was no migraine headache, just a desperate attempt by the neurons in your brain to logically reconcile Obama’s conflicting views on Proposition 8 and same-sex marriage.
(So why on earth do most gays support Obama?)
