From a big critic of Obama: I have to give him creds for coming out in support of gay marriage

[UnrepentantLiberal]

when he is running for reelection. A ballsy move.

I'm still angry with him about other issues though.

[trumad]

1. Noted

[msongs]

2. get enough crumbs in a pile and it becomes a whole loaf. his move is good news

however.

Now if he would speak out against (in no particular order):

privatized jails/prisons
consenting adults use of pot (tied to privatized jails/prisons)
murder of people without trial or conviction

hmm what else?

4. Offshore drilling.

Leaving it up to the states to protect wildlife for two.

6. And on the issue of pot - he needs to not just state that

after re-election he will do This or that --

HE NEEDS TO DIRECT HOLDER TO Re-SCHEDULE MARIJUANA IMMEDIATELY!

[/h2][/font color=red]


Yesterday the Supreme Court endorsed the California medical marijuana laws. So both the people and the Judiciary have spoken!! Why won't the President support HIS BASE!

3. Is "gay marriage" different from

hetero marriage?

It's marriage equality.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

5. I stand corrected.

[cali]

7. thanks!

[truedelphi]

9. I stand in solidarity with you and cali both.

And thanks for the OP!

[Warren DeMontague]

8. I agree. Leadership. About time, but he gets props.

If he also comes out for pot legalization before the election, I will canvass for the guy until my feet fall off.

10. Same here.

Very good news! I didn't think he had the balls to do it.

If only he would make the same sort of gutsy statement about medicinal cannabis, I would be very happy indeed.
