Since day one, I was the biggest Obama supporter. I believed in him, I trusted him, I supported every single one of his plans. But right now, I am highly disappointed in Obama's stance on gay marriage rights. In fact, Dick freaking Cheney is more liberal than Obama is when it comes to gays and their right to marry. How could this be? I still sincerely believe that deep down Obama does support natural human rights. However, I find it very hard to justify this move made by our President. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." However, devil...I mean Dick Cheney in a recent interview claimed that he doesn't "have any problem with [gay marriage]. People ought to get a shot at that." I think that since this was a topic very close to the ex VP (his daughter is gay), hence he has a rather liberal point of view ( of course, he doesn't want the federal government involved in this issue, but still)
I am not condemning Obama at all. In fact, since his days in the Senate of Illinois, Obama supported other gay rights. He voted numerous times against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. He, thus, does believe that gay and lesbian couples should have equal rights as heterosexual couples. He just doesn't want to call it marriage. Dick Cheney does.
Obama, darling, don't let this man full of pure evil make you look bad. I understand you're Christian. But don't let your religious beliefs tamper with your moral beliefs. You should know better than deny humans their basic rights. I know deep down isnide you knw what's right and what's wrong. Please, I still believe in you.
