Umm… WHO is making this an issue? The GOP just two days ago put an amendment in the defense bill to prevent people in the military from getting same-sex marriages, even if it’s legal in their state. This is not about jobs. This is about attacking American soldiers. Now they say they don’t want to talk about gay marriage, they want to talk about jobs. Maybe if they actually worked on jobs, people would ask them about jobs. They could start by looking at Obama’s jobs proposals, which would not only be more effective than attacking soldiers, but which would have no trouble getting through the senate, unlike their attack-the-soldiers, attack-the-poor, attack-the-women legislation.
^First I heard about the defense bill and I don’t know what you mean about attacking our soldiers. Then again we have not attacked women or the poor like you said. Our you talking about North Carolina banning same sex marriage the same day Obama made his announcement then flew off to Hollywood for a 15 million dollar fund raiser.
Shocking you missed NBC and Yahoo News stating Obama was pressured into changing his position on Gay Marriage after Biden said he (Biden) supported Gay Marriage
On January 20, 2009, Obama promised us thousands of ‘Shovel Ready’ Jobs bu July 2009, it is now May 2012, and I have yet to see one, let alone thousands of ‘Shovel Ready’ jobs Obama promsied he would create.
Where are our ‘Shovel Ready’ Jobs Obama promsied he would create al by himself?
The only people who never change their minds are idiots! We all need to change our minds when we get information that shows our first reaction to be wrong!
Reading Rachel Maddow’s book “Drift”, in it she describes uncle ronnie raygun as never changing his mind, no matter what the facts were against his mindset.

No we don’t want to be distracted by Obama’s issue. That would be reality.

“Yahoo News” aggregates news from other sources and adds their own headlines. Maybe you should try reading the articles.
