President Barack Obama finds Indiana’s religious freedom law and others like it “unthinkable,” the White House said Wednesday.
“I do think in the mind of the president, the thought that we would have state legislatures in the 21st century in the United States of America passing laws that would use religion to try to justify discriminating against people for who they love is unthinkable,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said.
Critics say Indiana’s law now allows for businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

The bill does not specifically address “Christian conscience,” but “religious conscience.”
I am disgusted that homosexuals are targeting Christians and now it has become a pitch fork lynch mob by them egged on by their hate and bigotry
Was it unthinkable when state senator Obama voted for it in Illinois?
You're exactly right.
You beat me to it. How hypocritical is it to vote for something and then pretend that it's unthinkable?
Are you saying that Christians will be excluded from this law?!
He conveniently forgot that he did. (Actually, it’s just another of his many, many, many lies as he should remember one of the few votes he cast during his infirmative action-propelled political career.)
True, but on the other hand, if one doesn’t live one’s beliefs, one is committing the sin of hypocrisy.
Obama is a bonehead or he is pretending to be a bonehead. Either way he is a bonehead.
Yeah, that would be OK.
The homos are goona find about the love that Muslims have for them the hard way, it seems...
Maybe ISIS will put it on pay-per-view. :)
The enemy islamist so-called President finds our Constitution “unthinkable”.
What a surprise.
Impeach this raghead NOW!
....”I am disgusted that homosexuals are targeting Christians and now it has become a pitch fork lynch mob by them egged on by their hate and bigotry”....
Well since they have turned their backs on God you can expect who they willingly are used by.
‘Obama said he opposed gay marriage in 2008, but do you think anyone in the MSM will hold him to that?’
I wondered as well so I asked several of my lefty neighbors here in Austin the same question.
The lefties response: ‘Obama EVOLVED as should the REST of the nation.”
The new left code word is EVOLVE..
.
Well, you know - there's nothing more beautiful than stoning a homo to death in Medina while yer listenin' to the evening call to prayer...
Now THAT'S entertainment!
How's that going to work? Homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end.
Dictators ALWAYS think laws that promote freedom are ‘Unthinkable’
Obama finds freedom anything unthinkable.

> In office January 8, 1997 - November 4, 2004 (18 to 10.5 years ago)
> When serving as a state legislator in Illinois in 1998, Barack Obama — now the liberal vanguard for all things LGBT — voted for Illinois’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. And get this: Obama voted for the state’s RFRA despite Illinois’s not having elevated sexual orientation or gender identity to the level of a protected class. In fact, sexual orientation didn’t become a part of the state’s Human Rights Act until 2006.
> Stephanoplous later asked White House press secretary Josh Earnest to respond to Pence’s claim: “Josh, you just heard the governor say right there this is the same law, he says, that Barack Obama voted for as a state senator back in Illinois.” Earnest didn’t dispute the Indiana governor’s statement. “Look, if you have to go back two decades to try to justify something that you’re doing today, it may raise some question about the wisdom of what you’re doing,”
[ not that time elapsed has anything to do with it, since OBAMA HAS NEVER CALLED FOR REPEAL OF EITHER THE FEDERAL OR STATE LAWS, but it was at most 17 years ago, not 20 — minor, but ANOTHER LIE ]
> The federal RFRA of 1993 passed unanimously in the House and 97-3 in the Senate before it was signed into law by Bill Clinton. Because the federal law was found not to apply to the states, individual states followed, the latest being Indiana.
> 19 states that have ‘religious freedom’ laws like Indiana’s that no one is boycotting
