It will be very half hearted at best.
Obama never was in favor of gay marriage, so far as I know. Certianly I’ve heard him specifically repudiate it. You can assume it’s an artificial position, a ruse to cover his true feelings. But hey, he’s never backed down.
“Why does the president hate gay marriage?”
Doesn’t he claim to be a Christian?
(Now I will go pull my hair out trying to figure what this move means.)
This is what’s known as a SCAM!!!!
I think Obama was never particularly a promoter of gay marriage, probably because he realized that this was an issue that might have gotten in his way during the campaign and even later might have prevented all the Dems in Congress from going along with him on other issues.
Curiously, the gays have never called him to account for it - I guess they understand it as a pragmatic issue.
IIRC, however, he was or implied that he was in favor of dropping DADT. But I think he realizes, again, that this is not the time to pursue it.
It is a set up. They will appeal (poorly) and lose.
My guess as to his strategy is that the Obama administration is going to appeal this ruling to defend the current military policy about homosexuals in the military, and then RIGHTLY point out that they are defending the current policy against a lawsuit that was filed by Log Cabin REPUBLICANS seeking to overturn it.
“My guess as to his strategy here is that he’s going to split the baby. He’ll appeal this ruling in order to placate indies and black voters who oppose gay marriage and/or are leery about judges “legislating from the bench,” and then he’ll announce that he won’t appeal yesterday’s DADT ruling in order to placate the lefties and young voters whom he needs to turn out next month. “
This reasoning is too complicated. What about invoking “ocums razor”. He opposes gay marriage because he is a closet Muslim and he is simply invoking Sharia law. Remember, he also gave Muslims an exemption to 0bamacare, and he supports the GZ mosque despite public opposition.
This I find hard to believe could happen because I doubt that One believes that "Commander-in-Chief" is just an honorific.
I don’t think I like the idea of entrusting the defense of the hen house to the fox that seeks to eat the hens.
IE I don’t think I like the idea of Obama defending the Defense of marriage act.
decided on Tuesday to appeal a judge's rulings that prevented the U.S. government from banning same-sex marriages, a move that could undermine support among President Barack Obama's traditional liberal base ahead of a key electionGosh, it's almost as if he has an ulterior motive -- or more than one.
He is void of morals....he is a Marxist who hates the traditional family—his own family abandoned him. His father was a polygamist. He if for homosexual marriage...anything to destroy all remnants of Christianity that dominated and shaped Western Civilization.
There is just a political motive here, nothing else. Someone told him to do it and the puppet is doing what he’s told. He is not making the decisions.
