Donald Trump on Miss California: Same as Barack Obama (stance on gay marriage)
President Barack Obama ended up in the middle of an unlikely controversy this morning — the debate over Miss California’s position on gay marriage.
At a press conference addressing Carrie Prejean’s disputed title in the Miss USA competition, pageant owner Donald Trump compared Prejean’s stated views on gay marriage to Obama’s.
“It's the same answer that the president of the United States gave,†Trump said. “She gave an honorable answer. She gave an answer from her heart.â€
In her own remarks moments later, Prejean echoed Trump’s statement, telling reporters: “The president of the United States, the secretary of state, and many Americans agree with me in this belief.â€
Pwn3d by Trump...Gosh, that must sting (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8402959&mesg_id=8402959)
Trump is a douche, but man, did he play this one well. Using the Messiah against them...it's like a martial art, where you use the other guy's momentum against him.
The DUmmies, predictably, manage to sidestep altogether the Inconvenient Truth that the Messiah is on record as being against gay marriage. Of course, we all know that he might as well be waving from the Marshal's Car of the Gay Pride parade, but his political calculation is still out there. And Trump has played it nicely.

1. Trump is an attention whore.

3. Trump is a POS. The issue isn't her answer. The issue is that she has actively gotten involved in
the anti-gay marriage movement. That's the difference between her and President Obama. She is actively working against equal rights. Trump is blurring the issue and looking for more publicity. I knew that this would be his decision because it would cause the most controversy.
Actually, her answer is the ONLY issue, idiot.

39. They always blame the black guy.
You mean the black guy on record as being against gay marriage?

58. Really enjoying the contortions
of people trying to simultaneously criticise this dingbat girl and defend Obama's position. So far the efforts aren't that convincing, though. I know whose position is more worthy of our attention, do you?
OUCH! That'll leave a mark!

Even better since Uncle Eg0 removed his support for gay marriage from his website. Priceless timing. Lord Rove has done well.
