For the first time in the history of the United States the sitting President has endorsed gay marriage.
In an interview with Robin Roberts on ABC News, President Barack Obama said, “I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”
Obama stated:
“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”
The statement comes just days after Vice President Joe Biden threw his support behind gay marriage which seemingly forced the President to address the issue.
The whole issue has been making serious waves across the Internet, and even drew a response from Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol (the baby momma) Palin.
In a anti-gay marriage blog entry Bristol makes it clear that she believes Obama is a weak, pathetic, stupid man for allowing his daughters to influence his opinion on gay marriage.
In her blog entry, Palin writes, “While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage.”
The 21-year-old unwed mother baby momma continues, “As great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.”
“I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.”
She continues, “Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.”
Dear Bristol, please contact MTV and ask them if you can star in the next season of TEEN MOM’S: My Mom Was A Vice President Hopeful Edition. We’ll also leave you with this…..YO MOMMA!
Your sexual preference is yours to choose and if some sort of marriage ceremony makes you feel better…so be it; but since you had that choice, I think children should have the same choice. This is why i don’t think that same sex marriages or same sex relationships should have small, impressionable children involved, especially when two men go out and adopt a child into their already complicated situation. You see what happened when our President said he thinks the marriage is okay…now he is assumed to be unable to run this country. A small child will not be able to handle all of that pressure. Who would want a child to endure all the criticism he/she would undergo while in school. That is totally selfism to me.
