Ben Carson apologizes to Johns Hopkins

11. Well, was Obama just as bigoted for saying he believes marriage was between a man and a woman?

At least Obama avoided the crazy innuendo of Santorum and Carson in expressing so.

OCTOBER 2004: " What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman … What I believe, in my faith, is that a man and a woman, when they get married, are performing something before God, and it's not simply the two persons who are meeting," then-U.S. Senate candidate Obama said in an interview with WTTW Chicago public television.

"That doesn't mean that that necessarily translates into a position on public policy or with respect to civil unions. What it does mean is that we have a set of traditions in place that, I think, need to be preserved, but I also think we need to make sure that gays and lesbians have the same set of basic rights that are in place.

So while I think Dr Carson is being self serving and is speaking more for PR than moral courage, he may have a point with his "less offensive" remark, unless it is inherently bigoted to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
