"And I was reminded that it is my obligation, not only as an elected official

[IndianaJones]

in a pluralistic society but also as a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided, just as I cannot claim infallibility in my support of abortion rights."

Obama

[terisan]

1. Did Obama actually say this?

[redqueen]

2. Well at least he's open to the possibility that those are misguided positions.

*sigh*

[IndianaJones]

3. its his obligation as a Christian. nt.

[sunonmars]

4. Thats just like sitting on all sides

like, i'll be for it when i need to be for it but against when i need to be against, thats politics speak.

[Radical Activist]

5. I've heard Indiana has one of the worst educational systems in America.

Any thoughts about that Indy or are you too busy going off to make another one of these out of context posts?

[IndianaJones]

8. No, thats just the areas with minorities. I moved to an overwhelmingly white...

district and the scores are in the 90th percentile. My kids get the racial slurs, but the good white education. Thanks for the concern. And the kick.

[Radical Activist]

10. Too bad we didn't have a change agent in the White House

sometime in the 90's who could have done something about the inequality in our schools. A lot of missed opportunities then...oh well. I guess twisting quotes taken out of context is more important to you than making real change.

[IndianaJones]

13. I live 30 miles outside Chicago...they been Democratic for a while now.

There is inequality in schools because white people make it so. Thats all white people.

[Radical Activist]

14. So the answer is to tare down Obama?

I don't see how this absolves Clinton's failure to do anything about the problem despite being the first black President.

[IndianaJones]

15. education starts at the local level. it is based on race and income.

the President can do little to change that. Bill Clinton can't force the white people of South Bend or Gary to pull their kids out of private school and raise property tax to better fund the public schools.

[Radical Activist]

16. He can change federal funding

to compensate for or lessen those inequalities. Hell, Bush passed federal legislation that dramatically changed the way schools are funded and operate. But Clinton was never about big change. Just little changes. That's why we don't need to waste another four years on missed opportunities with another Clinton.

[IndianaJones]

17. I'll support the nominee whoever it is. funding for public schools will not...

change regardless. It will change when whites are the minority.

[Avalux]

6. He's human and he's saying so. At least he doesn't preach platitudes.

I have no problem with this statement. Nothing wrong about openly discussing his struggle with his inner demons.

[pampango]

7. Don't bite, Obama supporters. Issues - great.

Out of context and undated quotes, just ignore them. Don't get into the game of dueling quotes. Doesn't move the conversation forward.

[Horse with no Name]

9. Are you saying that Obama supporters shouldn't make the decision

to respond on their own? They have to be directed?
What is this? High School? For fuck sakes.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. "Yea"

-Hillary Clinton, on the IWR.

[Thrill]

12. Just like Hillary. Her supporters will try any and every thing

[hayu_lol]

18. As a Hillary supporter, I don't hear her saying things like...

Reagan was a good president and brought change...and I'm going to have Repugnants in my cabinet to tell me when I go wrong.

Or, that choice is a deeply moral issue--the morality depends I think on whether you are pregnant or not with a wanted child.

I am for the working man. Have a great minimum wage plan that will raise the wage .75/hr for several years topping out at 9.75. Thats when progressive state's minimum wage will be over 12/hr. Edwards wants to keep the disparity the same while claiming to be for the poorest workers.

Anti-corporation? With his 16 million investment in Fortress lending(subprime), Edwards talks so much swamp gas. Guess its ok for his investments in offshore corporation(Fortress--Cayman Islands)is good for him and bad for the people.

These two guys are both bonkeres. Obama should become Shuckabees VP and Edwards should go back to being a tort lawyer.

[Thrill]

20. Obama didn't say he was a good president

Why don't you try watching the video yourself, instead of making a fool of yourself

[bigwillq]

19. Religion does not belong in politics.

Separation of church and state.
