Obama's gay marriage move has no impact on policies: Still Hasn't Signed Anti-Discrimination Order

 

Obama's gay rights move has no impact on policies
Associated Press
May 10, 2012

President Barack Obama's announcement that he supports gay marriage brings the presidential stamp of approval to the divisive social issue but does not carry swift policy changes along with it.

Obama described his decision as a personal position. White House officials said his decision would not affect current policies. The president said he continued to believe that marriage is an issue best decided by states.

The OP showed 2 more articles about the same thing I only reposted the first.

Poor DUmmies can't stand to have the light shined on 0bama.

1. I know, right? He might as well have not said anything.

Please...

He basically didn't say anything.

2. Why do you think that? Do you also think an Executive Order banning discrimination is unimportant?

5. I think your posting of anti-Democrat propaganda is unimportant.

I do notice it took a couple days for them to find an adequate spin; a new play of their same old Republican talking points of Obama's actions being "just pretty words."

No we were discussing just this the day he announced, it didn't take a couple of days for us to "spin" or more accurately point out that nothing has changed. In fact unless the courts step in, like they did in CA, Amendment 1 will stand in NC. Some victory for you, huh?  :lmao:

6. Jury results from an alert on the OP

At Sat May 12, 2012, 12:42 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Obama's gay marriage move has no impact on policies: Still Hasn't Signed Anti-Discrimination Order
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002677848

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards[/url].)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Posting anti-Obama propaganda straight from the Weekly Standard.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 12, 2012, 12:51 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: First of all, I think BBI is a fraud. He or she probably won't be here much longer. But I'm not going to hide this. I think it's possible for DUers to open their minds to different sources without compromising the site's ideological identity. We shouldn't run in fear from what the right says. We should face it head on. I think it would do some people good to step outside of the bubble every once in a while.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Tough one but I vote hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I realize they used a conservative source, but in reading the articles the impression I got was that the result will benefit Obama during the elections. Because in the end, Republican voters should not feel so threatened by a decision which their own conservative paper claims is not a policy change. Let's get him re-elected first, then we'll work on the policy change. The fact that he's come out in support of same sex marriage, is a huge step forward.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.


No one can refute that the articles are right, just a bunch of accusations of the OP posting right wing lies.
Poor things get so bent out of shape when truth shows up at DU.

The gay community had a collective burst of tears this week as President Obama announced his personal support for same-sex marriages. You could almost hear Zombie Liberace coming out of the ground and strumming his gold piano in flamboyant celebration.

This is one of my favorite insta-gushes from a liberal lesbian activist in New York:

Where were you when you first heard?

I was in front of Lincoln Center (I’m in New York City this week for a meeting with other LGBT civil rights attorneys from across the country) when NCLR Deputy Director Arcelia Hurtado screamed, “He did it!”

I turned around and said, “What?” To which she replied, “Obama came out in support of marriage!” We both screamed and hugged, teary eyed. The New Yorkers walking past us didn’t care. But we knew that this was a historic and indelible moment.

Really? I don’t recall the same amount of joy coming from the gay leftist ideologues when Vice President Dick Cheney became the first major national political figure to announce his support of gay marriage back in 2009.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with Cheney being a Republican and Obama being a Democrat. Nah, that would be too cynical. In my experience this is a typical reaction from left-wing gays and lesbians. They want to be liked, accepted, adored and fawned over. This week, President Obama gave them an important moment of self-adoration.

After the initial glow, however, those of us who look at life more critically and through the prism of reality like, for example, the law and the U.S. Constitution, found Obama’s announcement to be anything but historic. All he did was state his personal perspective on a social matter. Did he say he was going to ask Congress to repeal the “Defense of Marriage Act” signed by President Clinton? Nope. Did he urge all 50 governors to move toward same-sex marriage recognition in their state? Nope. Did he say he would back efforts for a gay marriage plank in the DNC platform at the Democratic Convention. Nope.

Hmm, they don't like the fact that Obama coming out hasn't changed a damn thing, so they choose to live in their insulated "utopia".

Just more proof that regressive DUchebags are all about style and not about substance. This is why they are so easily fooled.
