President Obama said that he had already decided to endorse gay marriage at some point ahead of the presidential election when Vice President Joe Biden jumped the gun with his own announcement on Sunday, according to an interview with ABC. “He probably got out a little over his skis, but out of generosity of spirit,” Obama told ABC’s Robin Roberts in an interview that aired Thursday on Good Morning America. “Would I have preferred to have done this in my own way on my own terms without, I think, there being a lot of notice to everybody? Of course. But all’s

Obama got a little under his fundraising.

Want to make a liberal's head explode?

Tell your liberal friends that Obamah has evolved to Dick Cheney's stance on homosexual marriage!

Drudge has the link to Cheney's 2009 statements which are 100% identical to what Obamah has now said.

So we have a choice:

• Obama who finally admits in his 4th year that he supports sodomy, but has done much in action to support it.
• Romney who denies supporting sodomy, but who implemented it in Massachusetts, doing more in support of it as Governor, than Obama did as President. (And that's saying something!)
• Virgil Goode (constitution party) who is completely against sodomy whether by marriage or civil union. And has proven so in both word and deed.

Well ok, as long as he doesn’t punch above his weight.

“He probably got out a little over his skis."

I know what this means, but not being a skier, its not the sort of cliche I would think to use. Does Obama ski? Why would he think to use it? Or does someone else do his thinking for him?

Sorry...not believing this BS for a minute. This was a completely orchestrated event, as was the “war on women”.

This guy’s MO is one of calculated divisiveness and this is just one more in a series of these such events.

[treetopsandroofs]

Yep, they even tested the waters with the John Travolta outing...

[Doogle]

it’s just that big mouth Joe can’t wait for the payoff....

So now he blames “Slow Joe” for his own belief? GTH Barack HUSSEIN Obama! You can fool the idiots all the time but get your Marxist Ass away from me you Son of a Bitch!

[HiTech RedNeck]

You’d have exactly equal luck writing in Sarah Palin, who opposes this stuff too.

Both of which would tend to beckon on Obama a little bit more strongly.

Does that not then mean that the skier had a big prat fall?

If you don't play, you should be careful with sports metaphors. Obama probably thinks he just scored a hole in one, with the one in the hole crowd. But, he'll likely discover that it's no slam dunk, and he's no where near first and ten, with the bases loaded. He thinks he's going to clear all the hurdles in this race; but, he'll soon be called for icing. Off to the showers Obama, don't bend over to pick up the soap.

[NonValueAdded]

Hold on now, since when did Obama ski??? Who wrote that for him?

[stylin19a]

I'm probably gunna sound like a lot of your moms, here.

“If Biden decides to jump off a cliff, are you going to follow him ?”

Wow! He blew the lid off his secret Give us Colorado plan.

‘Well ok, as long as he doesn’t punch above his weight.’

Well, “Let me be clear”.
Because “It won’t happen overnight”

[hattend]

“He probably got out a little over his skis, but out of generosity of spirit,”

Is that like punching above his weight class?

Skinny dweeb Obama and his sports metaphors....sigh.

Biden is the poor guy from the opening of "Wide World of Sports".
