    Obama first president to support gay marriage.

    WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he supports gay marriage, reversing his position on a controversial social issue just six months before the November election and adopting a stance fraught with political implications.

    "I've been going through an evolution on this issue. I've always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally," Mr. Obama said in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts. "At a certain point, I just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think that same sex couples should be able to get married."

    How does the first lady feel about it?

    “This is something that, you know, we’ve talked about over the years and she, you know, she feels the same way, she feels the same way that I do. And that is that, in the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people and, you know, I, you know, we are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated. And I think that’s what we try to impart to our kids and that’s what motivates me as president and I figure the most consistent I can be in being true to those precepts, the better I’ll be as a as a dad and a husband and hopefully the better I’ll be as president.”

    Obama is going all in. He's got the gay vote, the Hispanic vote, the black vote, maybe the middle-class vote, the college vote. This could be the end of white America

    BS, the next election is already decided. I am 100% sure Obama is getting re elected. Anybody who wants to bet on that, I'll gladly take your money. The majority of Americans are dumb and gullible enough to re elect him.

    As for the gay marriage, I actually agree with him on this.

    Agree with all except I don't think they even count our votes for real...
