The Presidents view on gay marriage is still evolving????What the hell is that supposed to mean???Is this not supposed to be ‘The Decision Maker’job and when will his view be fully evolved.Oh dear Mr.Obama,you have joined the ranks of political double talkers and vague-triliquists.Oprah,please make a phone call and straighten out Mr.Fencewalker because I am still audaciously hopeful that he can make a difference.

This was a gift to the gay and lesbian community. It’s only a minor ploy since the executive branch cannot declare an act unconstitutional, only SCOTUS can. This will eventually reach SCOTUS and then it will be an interesting argument. Should the act be ruled unconstitutional then there will be a substantial cost associated where industry and local governments will have to cover same sex spouses.

Yea, how’s the torturing going at guantanamo today?
Leave it to our gutless pragmatist president to once again be faced with an easy 100 yard dash, and then take two steps off the line, claim he has done great things, and return to the locker room.
