Obama’s Talk With His Spiritual Adviser
Bolding is mine -
“When I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point, I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,” President Obama told ABC News.
Hunter says he told the president he disagreed with his interpretation of what the Bible says about marriage. Hunter says the president reassured him he would protect the religious freedom of churches who oppose gay marriage.
“I’m disappointed, not entirely surprised, because he thinks with his heart,” said Hunter, who said the announcement makes it harder for him to support Obama, but he will continue to do so.
“He knew where I stood, because I’m an evangelical and I believe in what the scripture says. One of the reasons he was calling was to protect our relationship and give me a ‘heads up’ on an interview he had just done,” Hunter said. “It wasn’t something we were able to talk through, or I would have talked him out of it.”
Hunter said the president made it clear that he did not come upon the decision lightly. “He told me how much he prayed and how difficult a decision this was for him.”
Hunter said he prays regularly with the president and last February, Michelle Obama visited his church.

If he prayed about it so hard I doubt Bo would have made that decision. It’s all about votes.

BHO is just trying to cover his tracks here with some “Christian cred”. It won’t work with most believers, but the myriads of pretenders of belief who have the ear of the media will run with this until they drop.

On the other hand, I’ll be interested to read the fallout from the international Muslim community.

Michelle Obama visited his church.
You just know the only reason she was there is because something was free that day. I’m thinking they had some baked goods and grape drink.

Hunter is evangelically prone to support homosexual pro abortion muslim-atheist Democrats as long as they say nice things about the poor while throwing them their bones.

So the dog eater goes gay for pay, how wonderful! The gay community probably could have gotten the same announcement by threatening to out him, since Obumbles LOVES THE COCK. (at least that’s what Mr. Sinclair told me)

Oh boy. So the price of gas should be coming down and jobs should be coming any- minute- now. Right?
Gay people, you will end up like the blacks and hispanics in the ghettos. So much for your rainbow pride, eh?

MY faith DEMANDS at this point, Obama be TRIED for TREASON.
If found guilty, it also demands he pay the FULL PENALTY for it as well… >:-(

@MJA – he can’t promise lower gas prices or new jobs, but he sure can count on lots of LGBT campaign donations.
Ann doesn’t mince any words about it – unfortunately it’s another depressing post.

Oh, please. Just like he is protecting the religious freedom of churches who oppose abortion/contraception?
Isn’t it time that people recognize taqiyya/lying/deception when they hear it? Religious leaders like Rev. Hunter ignore this at their peril.

And just like he protected the churches of his fellow Christians in EGYPT.
Obozo would throw everyone under the bus if given enough time.

So, if you have a congregation of 15,000 in FLA you get a call ahead of time from the Pres. Think the Pres called any ministers from solid blue states where he doesn’t have to worry about the Dem machine delivering the state?
Obama is calculating about every action he takes he probably doesn’t take Moochelle out to play fetch without first considering the big ugly mutt vote.

Hey Rev?
I got a new slogan you can put on the marquee
outside your church;
FORWARD…into HELL.
Keep on supporting your man and his evolutionary “beliefs”.
Another sad moment from the pulpit of men who continue to align themselves with sin and destruction of the laws of God.

i bet “those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors” would feel a lot better about being able to kill the enemy without fear of the ROE than the fear of committing themselves in a marriage

Obama’s Phony Evolution
Now that President Barack Hussein Obama has emerged from his political closet and announced he has resolved his long-standing confusion, indecision, and lack of surety regarding the morality–and practicality–of same-sex marriages, his motivations should be examined.
Republican low-lifes will no doubt attribute the president’s sudden, radical flipflop as concrete evidence that he has no core values and he “evolved” only because he needs both gay money to supplement his campaign coffers and gay votes to supplement the ballot box in November.
They will say he has long favored men marrying men, women marrying women, and undermining the religious institution of marriage and was being coy about it all until he had “more flexibility” in his second term.
They will say Vice President Joe Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan shamed Obama into his alleged epiphany by indicating they would be “comfortable” with gay marriage.
They will say North Carolinianians forced his hand when they voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to join 38 other states in opposing same-sex marriages and civil unions.
They will say that since Obama’s Democrats have already repealed the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy and his DoJ secretary announced his administration would not defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court, the president would logically have to endorse homosexual marriage.
And they would be absolutely wrong. . .
