It would be so awesome if politicians kept their bedroom thoughts to themselves and let the public do the same. Just cause I wouldnt want my husband(if I had one) to do me up the butt it wouldnt mean that if some wife wanted it I would come out in my political platform and say it was wrong or gross. For once it would be nice to see someone running for office not say jack about religion or peoples sex lives.

so stop voting for politicians that make a point of their religion and what happens in other people's bedrooms.

When has Obama ever made those kind of statements?

Obama has said he personally does not support gay marriage. To him, marriage is man-woman. Yet Obama supports the freedom of others to do what they wish And in fact, he is fighting for that very right for others.

That's the difference between Democrats, who honor and respect the freedom of others to do differently than themselves; and Republicans, who do not.

the defense of marriage act was voted on with both dems and reps supporting the bill, and bill clinton(d) signing it into law-remember? i doubt it's all as cut and dried as you think-and pols will vote according to what they think will get them re-elected, not by what's on their conscience.

I'm talking about Obama's past and current stated views on gay marriage, not about who supported or didn't support DOMA.

Obama's personal views differ from what he has supported as best for the country. He gets kudos for that from me. As opposed to the politicians that try and legislate the rights of others away, because others might choose to live privately in a way (abortion, gay unions or marriage, etc) the politician doesn't personally approve of.

Obama said he was Christian and regularly attended a church with a racist pastor before arriving in DC (when Rezko owned the property next door and Michelle was making 200K from a hospital though not even close to a Dr or dietician).

Not wanting to 'cause disruption' he avoided finding a church for himself and family and like a good Christian father is teaching his children 'disruption' before they cover the 10 commandments etc etc.

and you know what he's teaching his children how? i don't see that his religion is any of your business, or anyone else's.

so what? I could care less if Obama goes to church or not.

I'd much rather a President not go to church than use a book released by the Roman Government to dictate policy.
