Obama disputes aide David Axelrod's take on gay marriage
Source: AP-Excite
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is disputing a longtime aide's view that Obama feigned opposition to gay marriage, compromising his true beliefs out of concern it could hurt him with voters.
Former Obama strategist David Axelrod writes in a new book that Obama modified his public position to say he supported civil unions but not gay marriage. Axelrod says that was because his political advisers told him supporting gay marriages could hurt him politically.
But Obama told BuzzFeed News in an interview posted late Tuesday night that Axelrod is "mixing up my personal feelings with my position on the issue."
Axelrod wrote that Obama begrudgingly followed his advice that he would face strong opposition from African American religious leaders and others if he let it be known he supported gay marriage.

6. Two days in a row somebody piss & moans about MY LBN posts
Alert on the good damn post, then move on!
Throw in Sunday's post I shouldn't have killed in video after the jury and hosts backed me up on it, and people will figure out OS ain't having much fun on the DU anymore.
OS
You would think that a big guy like Steve would be able to handle a little mild criticism without going to pieces. There is likely an apology post inbound, he'll blame it on the meds.

Maybe, late in life...The weeper is discovering he isn't at home with libs.

Is Obama Steve going senile? Doesn't he realize there will be no dissent from what Apollo-Obama decrees, whether the decree is implied or stated?

A word of advice for socialist Steve.
You will die irrelevant,very few will notice or care.
Have a happy and hot eternity. :)

Well, whoop-whoop-dee-do.

If I recall, his local union at the turd plant weren't too keen on the bloated pre-carcass, either. Denying him his just desserts in the union by popular vote.

The Big Guy (who is dying) pollutes GD with his stupid puppy/kitten posts, and now LBN.
Some of the Dummies complain, but only the ones who haven't heard that he's dying.
I expect him to be reminding everyone soon.

Possibly, but I really think it's just a confused and broken person.
Like they all are.
