just sayin
I should have thought this through a little better.
I was just reacting to the rightwingers who love to call Obama a liar.
Michelangelo Signorile on Sirius made me think of it when he mentioned W and his lies vs this lie.
If I could delete the whole thread I would.
sorry

(14,255 posts)in order to get elected, that was not what he intended or believed.
Also, if he did indeed lie about his feelings on gay marriage, it is a bit distasteful to me that he evidently invented a story about his daughters influencing him, the evolving, and all that.

(30,481 posts)While it is wonderful to have a President who now supports equality in that aspect, others fought to the point it was happening even to his dismay. What Bush has to do with it is beyond me. Maybe we can all just jump behind drug testing for social service recipients. Hey, at least people wouldn't be dying in the numbers dealt at Bushs hands.

(5,018 posts)calling Obama a liar.
But if I can change it now I will, I dont want any disrespect, how would I do that?
I was listening to Michelangelo Signorile and agreeing with him that most in the gay community and gay activist supporters like myself knew he was lying and we knew why he had to, etc.

(36,855 posts)I am also rethinking my response.
As a straight person, I am offended by this OP (not just for LGBT community, but for myself).
Thank you.

(5,018 posts)and wanted to get it out before I forgot..
And delayed vs denied is better too.
I think there is some importance to my point only in that Obama lied to eventually make it better, and people did suffer, no doubt
W lied and people died and W wanted those people to die, and he didnt care that Americans died too...
We need to remember that there are very bad criminals, murderers on the other side of the aisle, then and now.
