Democrats pressure Obama to endorse gay marriage



| The Wall Street Journal



WASHINGTON – More Americans are embracing gay marriage, adding to calls from Democrats for President Barack Obama -- who has said he is not sure where he stands -- to publicly express his support before the November elections.

Obama opposes gay marriage, but for nearly the last 18 months has said his views are "evolving." Now he is under pressure to make support for gay marriage part of his party's election platform when he formally accepts the Democratic nomination in September.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chairman of the Democratic National Convention, said last week that a gay-marriage plank should be part of the platform, echoing recent comments from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Gay-rights activists say they have been making the case to the White House that polls show Obama has little to lose politically if he endorses gay marriage.

Forty-nine percent of Americans now say they approve of gay marriage, up from 40 percent shortly after Obama took office in 2009

That was one of the only good things about Obama. He made statements that he believes marriage is between one man and one woman. There's truly nothing that would surprise me with him though....i bet he caves. All the more reason for God to judge our nation. Jeremiah 7....that's what we are right now.

No doubt another of his lies that he used to garner votes. Don't forget, he and Rahm belong to the same "bath house" in Chicago. (Story is on the board someplace.)

And you believed him? The man with the golden forked tongue?! Oh my goodness, wateredseeds!

The man is not known for being honest, ever. He always has an agenda.

I do agree with you about God judging our nation though. I believe that's exactly what's happening right now with us.

^ Good one! ;D

If he has stated that he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, he is only following the teachings of Islam.

[baydoll]

^^^ That's supposed to be a secret.

[wateredseeds]

LOL! No, i never actually believed him. The rhetoric that he used though....was SUPPOSED to be reassuring to christians that he wouldn't leave them on the side of the road if he was elected president. I think many christians have found out that he left us on the side of the road A LONG TIME AGO...and NEVER had any intention of actingin a christian way as president.
