FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
It came three days after Vice President Joe Biden said he was “absolutely
comfortable” with same-sex marriages, sending the White House scrambling to
maintain their delicately balanced stance.
Mr Obama is powerless to give gay people the right to wed, which is controlled
by the individual states. However, his announcement sets up a sharp dividing
line with Mitt Romney, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, who
favours amending the US constitution to outlaw gay marriage forever.
Despite not endorsing gay marriage since arriving on the national political
stage, Mr Obama was assumed to back it privately. In a 1996 questionnaire he
said: “I favour legalising same-sex marriages”.
However, amid public opposition to legalisation as his political career
progressed, Mr Obama repeatedly declared on the record that he opposed it,
stating in 2004: “Gay marriage is not a civil right”.
As he ran for president in 2008 he said that as a Christian he viewed marriage
as a “sacred union” between “a man and a woman”. He even acknowledged in his
second book, ‘The Audacity of Hope’, that “in years hence I may be seen as
someone who was on the wrong side of history” on the subject.
However, polls last year indicated for the first time that a majority of
Americans favoured legalisation. Six states and Washington, DC, now allow
gay marriage.
In an apparent statement of intent, Mr Obama last year ordered his justice
department to halt prosecutions under the Defence of Marriage Act, which
allows states to decline to recognise gay marriages that were performed in
other states.
None the less, it was assumed that he would not risk jeopardising his
re-election prospects by publicly endorsing something fiercely opposed by
millions of Americans before November’s election.
Some 30 states have amended their constitutions to outlaw gay marriage,
including the potentially crucial battleground states of Colorado, Florida,
Nevada, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin. They were joined on Tuesday by North
Carolina, where voters called for a ban by 61 per cent to 39.
However Mr Obama’s position had become practically unsustainable after Mr
Biden’s weekend intervention. Aides are thought to have concluded that his
reputation for honesty was becoming damaged by the political tightrope-walk.
Meanwhile wealthy gay donors, infuriated by the President’s timidity, were
threatening to withhold millions of dollars in donations.
Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City and a high-profile advocate of
gay rights, called the President’s announcement “a major turning point in
the history of American civil rights”.
The Human Rights Campaign pressure group said last night that Mr Obama had
extended “a message of hope to a generation of young lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender Americans”.
“Without a doubt, President Obama’s statement will inspire thousands more
conversations around kitchen tables and in church pews,” a spokesman said.
“We are confident that our nation will continue to move inexorably toward
equality and we thank the President for leading us in that direction.”
