71. Obama is opposed to marriage equality. That's bigotry.
As for Obama's lofty distance from the common man... your argument doesn't hold water. Where is the beer summit for Maine LGBT families that were stripped of equality last night?

His sudden embrace of states' rights is puzzling. If his parents had been refused marriage rights or forced into an interracial civil union, Obama would be lucky to be head Janitor somewhere in Kansas right now.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, really I'm not. However, this complacency or outright hostility toward marriage equality among democrats starts at the top.
