Obama Opposes Ban on Gay Marriage
Sen. Barack Obama today wrote a letter to stating he oppposed a ban on gay marriage.
In a letter to San Francisco's Alice B. Toklas Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club, the presumptive presidential nominee said he opposed "the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution" and similar efforts in other states.
Good on Obama. He's not afraid to change his mind.
Obama is skating gingerly past his previous position on the issue.
The Illinois senator has said repeatedly that he believes marriage should be only between man and a woman. When the California Supreme Court overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage in May, Obama released a carefully nuanced statement saying he respected the court's decision, believed states should make their own decisions on marriage and "will continue to fight for civil unions as president."
We're behind Obama on this one, all the way.

NOT A Nice Try, bbBrain....
..... do you and Rush ever tire of being wrong and continuing to propagate your false propaganda, even in the face of facts that disprove your lies? I guess not, because you two clowns are at it every week. All the ills you mentioned are direct results of BushCo's failed policies. That's what your unfettered capitalism gets you, dummy.....
You and Rush are just like Bush; you never take responsibility for your actions and always find someone else to blame. Just like second graders! HA!
