Obama declares support for gay marriage


By Rick Klein | ABC OTUS News

President Obama today announced that he now supports same-sex marriage, reversing his longstanding opposition amid growing pressure from the Democratic base and even his own vice president.

In an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the president described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this place, based on conversations with his own staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and conversations with his wife and own daughters.

Very interesting.

And Shepard Smith is on the air saying that Obama is now in the 21st century and on the right side of history.

Roughly, "right wing craziness is indistinguishable from satire."

I thought this was a joke. It's real! And it's still a joke!

Really, is this a surprise to anyone? Obama could walk on water while whipping up a cancer cure between strides and Fox would claim he couldn't swim and was "declaring war" on drug manufacturers.
