DNC head: ‘Awesome’ that many voters see pro-gay marriage stance as political winner By Geneva Sands - 05/15/12 11:50 AM ET
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) called it "awesome" Tuesday that favoring same-sex marriage could be viewed as politically expedient, saying it shows advancement in people's perspective on the issue.
"As someone that represents one of the largest LGBT communities in the country, I think it's actually awesome that we've come so far in advancing the rights of the LGBT community that people would question that it's a good thing politically for the president of the United States to come out for marriage equality," said Wasserman Schultz on MSNBC.
A CBS News/New York Times poll released Monday found that most Americans believe President Obama publicly endorsed same-sex marriage for political reasons. Twenty-four percent of those surveyed thought Obama came forward because he felt it was the right thing to do, while 67 percent thought he was politically motivated.
The Florida congresswoman told MSNBC that although she thinks the poll represents progress in society, she argued that Obama made his announcement for personal reasons.
"This is the civil-rights issue of our generation. President Obama came out for marriage equality because he believes in it personally. He believes that no one should be discriminated against and that the laws of our country should reflect an opportunity for equality for all Americans," she said.
Obama became the first U.S. president to support marriages between same-sex couples, making his announcement in an ABC News interview Wednesday. Vice President Biden's remarks last Sunday that he was comfortable with same-sex marriage pu
Ha Ha...well, that’s her spin & she’s sticking to it.
Awesome Debbie returns! I thought they had buried this bizarre bigmouth moron.
The DNC released Awesome Debbie out of the cage and welcome home!
This idiot is this delusional and in a position of power in our government, just plain frightening!!!
Beware of women with three names...

and said Republicans want to kill the American auto industry- as she climbed into her foreign car:

Is it me or did that article make no damn sense??
“Come on men, let’s go kick some Injun butt!”

Going for a moral victory?
Kenny G in drag!
Kenny G in drag!
LOL, she is in tune with young voters like Megan McCain.
That's another component of the Zeitgeist.
The Palistinians do it. Every time they're crushed militarily, or kicked out of some country they've squatted in, they hold a "victory celebration" as they're leaving.
Clinton got a "victory party" after he was impeached.
I think it's a consequence of pervasive media in the modern world. Put on a show to distract people from reality. It's a win-win: keep your (surviving) followers from giving up, and infuriate/demoralize your enemies.
Of course, if your enemies aren't restrained by the rules of civilization, it can lead to problems. That's why the Right doesn't use this approach. Well, that's one reason, anyway.
The poll was taken among Indians.
The spin that I especially liked in the past was her response to the question of when 0bama would take responsibility for the economy.
Her response was that as long as the economy was bad, it’s Bush’s fault, and when it starts to recover, that will be 0bama’s policies taking effect.
Trying to create the illusion that the issue’s a winner. These Democrats are really pathetic. They think they can manipulate anyone.
A lot of us think that he wants a same sex marriage.He kind of split the difference when he married the Moose.
That is delusional. The electorate breaks down basically into people who have always opposed it and people under 30 who are basically agnostic on the issue. Only the gay community itself is actually striving for it.
“This is the civil-rights issue of our generation.”
That’s what bothers me .. this generation is trying so hard to make gay rights equate to the black civil rights struggle of the 60s. Not even close.
They may be delusional but they sure as hello kitty are ramming it down our throats. As it were. ;p
She’s just plain skank-ass nasty. For the life of me, I cannot understand how someone seeing her on TV would agree with what she says because of the aura she projects.
Ahhh, now I get it... she’s really a guy in drag... crap, I knew there was something up with her____him.
I think its awesome that his poll number are in freefall ever since he announced his “evolution” in this regard.
0 for 32....sounds like a winner to me.
That's a guy dressed up like a shelia!
does she really think that the public’s perception of political expediency is the same as her’s and a good thing?
It’s good to see Democrats making this mistake. They should keep it up.
They are so “married” to their agenda and cloistered with a few folks that think the same way that they can’t really understand that other viewpoints exist, much less that they exist to a great majority.
Odd how people act and talk one way when surrounded by liberal ‘PC Bullies’ -
and another way in the privacy of a voting booth...
: )
And of course Custer's famous last words... Where did all of those f***ing Indians come from?!?!
“Awful” is a more appropriate word than “awesome”.
MR. OBAMA WHEN YOU “BUTTER UP” VOTES FROM THE CHURCHES WHAT HAPPEN TO THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE?
Weird how gay marriage is so popular yet loses every time it’s on the ballot even in CA.
