“President Barack Obama felt a sense of relief after coming out in favor of gay marriage, according to “Double Down,” a new book about the 2012 campaign. But…

TYT = Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Shouldn’t he be grateful that
something so simple could change someones mind on it? Christ, how better
would it be if the same thing could happen to so many people who are still
against it?
+DiamandaHagan Same reason he claims to be religious, some stances are
political suicide. If have to play the game otherwise your never going to
get anywhere to make any real change.
Trying to get voted in while being an atheist is still very hard and the
same went for Gay rights back in the day and it still can do massive
damage.
I’m glad I send my kids to Catholic school so they don’t have to learn that
filthy gay history garbage that left winger teachers are teaching in public
schools nowadays!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obamas biggest achievement was getting gay marriage legalised in New
Zealand.
This is exactly why I hate it when gay rights activists support Obama and
pretend that he’s on their side. He is on nobody’s side. He is on his own
side. He has the integrity of a grocery bag in the wind.
You know that TYT has hit the big time when all of the kooks, weirdos and
trolls make up 80% of the comment section. When I first starting watching
TYT five years ago, most of the comments were, “yay! gay marriage!” “yay!
Obama!” and now that makes up maybe 20% of what is posted, while the rest
is, “did you know that homosexuals eat dog shit and then murder
nuns?!?!?!?!?!?!” and “Obama is secretly a homosexual pedophile that loves
bestiality!!!!!!!!” I guess TYT should be honored? -_-
I know a lot of people here are atheist/agnostic so I was just wondering if
you could watch this video and help our fellow atheists in the Arab world
who get put in prison for being atheist. Can you also give this comment a
thumbs up, so others can see it. I know this is spamming but it is for a
very important cause.

Whats next, people marrying their dogs?
Obama is the worst president!!!!
Hah hah hah. Should have “evolved” sooner.
That is a PRIME example, how stupid the politicians imagine us, they dont
even bother anymore to sugarcoat their bullshit, they dont even present us
the bullshit and ask us to taste, they just shit the bullshit right in our
faces!
And no, we arent on youporn, this shit is real!
politics 101 with Cenk..
The funny thing is, that gay couples make for a more loving and
caring enviroment to raise children then straight couples as there will
never be ‘surprise’ pregnancies and those gay couples went trough a whole
batterie of requirements and interviews before expanding their
family….so, SUCK it! traditional family value lobbyists
So surprsing that we would have such arguments about things like gay
marriage and race (in the past) its just so ridiculous and a waste of time.
Who cares what someome believes or who they marry. And this is coming from
ADULTS!
googl puts SPAM everywhere they can. googl is a SPAM server who happens to
have a search engine as a cover.
“Normal Family”? Lol! Good One! As far as “evolving”, his only evolution
is “coming out of the closet”… You’re about 5 years behind…
Dammit Cenk you always change my opinion about Obama with all these
curveballs of information.
I had no idea he was ever anti Gay Marriage.
To me this falls under the category of who cares about the intent, for
example if someone gives money to a charity do you think the people who get
the assistance are gonna care why the person who donated the money did it.
Course not same thing with the president even if it was a political ploy
the credibility it lended the cause particularly in the black community
cannot be underestimated, and its not like he hasn’t back up his words with
actions dadt repealed doma wont be enforced and edna just got passed not to
mention how many states have legalized gay marriage since he has become
president so its not just empty words/promises on this issue.
There’s a petition on the White House website to have gay marriage as the
28th Amendment. It needs 100,000 signatures by December 6th to reach the
president’s desk. If anyone wants to sign it, the link is on my YT channel
labeled “28th Amendment Petition”. It may or may not work, but it’s still
worth it.
OBAMA LIVERA A LOS JOTOS PORQUE QUIERE EL BENEFICIO POLITICO EL DIA DE
ELECCIONES PARA SU PARTIDO SI LOS QUIERE TANTO QUE SE LOS LLEVE PARA SU
CASA PARA VER COMO LE VA NO LOS AGUANTARA SON PELIGROSOS .LOS HOMOSEXUALES
DEJENLOS EN PAS PUES NADIE LOS PODRAN CAMVIAR QUE HAGAN LO QUE QUIERAN PUES
LA VIDA DE ELLOS LES PERTENESE Y SON LIBRES DE HACER LO QUE LES PLASCA
I like how its “Evolved”, rather than he just changed his opinion.
Somehow “Evolved” is supposed to mean something more sophisticated.
God, you Libs are crazy.
I used to love TYT, but I can’t stand the Obama-hate. I can watch Glenn
Beck or Alex Jones if I want angry Obama hate.
“Evolve”??? Funny when Republicans changed their views on something Obama
screamed that they had “Wavered”…but Barack…yeah, he “evolves”. What a
pile of horse dung.
honestly it is no ones business about who marry’s who … if you have
nothing to do with the 2 people getting married , and you aren’t paying
their bills and such , then its none of anyone’s concern.. I see there are
a lot of disgusting comments here .. about killing gays and put us on an
island … its 2013 people there are gay people we do exist.. why do people
think its okay to judge …. cause you don’t understand gay people and
don’t understand why people fall for the same gender , you think its okay
to treat them like shit ?… maybe you all need to take the time and get to
know a gay person and learn to accept them .. we sit here saying nothing
about you straight people , you go in public hold hands , kiss and grope
each other ..but you don’t see us saying Gross … you are disgusting…
you should die … no .. we keep our business to ourselves , just like you
all Gay bashers and haters need to do .. Mind your own business .. if 2 gay
/trans/bisexuals etc wanna get married , then let them .. if you aren’t the
one marrying a gay person or what you would say “Faggot” then honestly its
none of your damn concern , keep your sickening twisted comments to
yourselves .. You think gays are bad .. Bashing people , Being evil towards
another and saying nasty stuff is no better. Use your brains you were born
with and think about what you are saying before you start flapping your
gums talking all this gay bashing nonsense – From a PROUD HOMOSEXUAL
To be honest they should marry its there right. Our founding fathers said
all men are created equal, so just because ones gay and its a “sin” means
that they shouldn’t be treated with equal rights. Hate them if you wish but
give them the equality they deserve its not a sin but who they are. Saying
its a sin is the same thing whites said to blacks years ago. My Goddess
supports it and so do I it’s there right to love someone. So by god give
them the right they deserve and for once actually be a equal country it’s
good that the Vice President and President supports it so its all that
matters
I am a Black guy who thinks gays are cool wants to legalize weed and thinks
corporations aint paying shit in taxes..iw ant all the money to come back
from overseas and be taxed. guns will have to be acquired from a Militia hq
and only handguns can be bought. Corporations have to pay a min wage of 15
an hour and Guantanomo has been closed. “in Todays news Senator Barack
Obama was shot 5000000000 X by a KKK member named…”
Oh Please! he didn’t ‘evolve’. He no longer has to placate the crazy black
churches which are largely anti-gay. It is pure politics, not growth.
So gay marriage is legal. Good.
I don’t care who made it legal.
I don’t care why it was made legal.
The fact that gay marriage is legal is good enough for me.
What’s important is that “evolution” on the issue of equal marriage has
been primarily a social process over the course of decades, not a
presidential process over the course of a few weeks. Don’t lose the big
picture
Obama didn’t ‘evolve’ he just bowed before the money like a bitch. The
majority of democrats only support gays because they know it will help them
politically. Time and time gain republicans have shown that they’re the
only one’s willing to stand on principle.
What is going on here ? I was just told that I am “not allowed ” to respond
to this post ! What new feature is this and WHY was I kept from
responding ?????
Gay people are being used as a political tool. They are used to create an
emotional response in liberal democrats in order to support policies such
as killing American children with drones which is not as popular amongst
liberal democrats. But if you let the gays marry then liberal dems will let
you kill as many innocent people as you want.
Why is Cenk suddenly giving all this credence to Mark Halperin and John
Heilemann? He never has before. I think Cenk’s whole tone on this story
was kind of misplaced.
obamas a pokemon
but for 50 years of BO’s life he hated the gays.. hmmmm
It’s a generational issue, most people under 40 would not feel hurt if Bill
and Bob from across the street get married. So I do believe that Biden and
Obama just needed time to get use to the idea and realize the importance of
the word marriage to gay couples.
Stupid clowns in the comment section LOL.
being black is like being gay? Really? People still spread tht 100%LIE lol.
Not one white person was raped nd became gay, not one white criminal became
black in prison.
Not one DRUNK white experimented and BECAME black.
All you gays have lost EVERY SINGLE ARGUMENT. now spam this comment and
suppress these facts.
Obama is deeply conservative.
And, too, has reshaped the Democratic Party. Meaning we’ve one political
party. The Republicans.
What was once the Democratic Party has “evolved” into: moderate Republicans.
And Obama — along with Clinton of course — have made the transition
absolute.
If you drink homogenized milk does that make you homosexual?
because obama is queer
Lol capitalist pigs still going on about how gay marriage is bad, it is
funny because this is the same thing that they did with the Jews, they are
diverting your attention away from the real enemy. Gays are people, they
can and should be able to marry it is beneficial to society end of story,
this is all supported by science
i remember this shit. obama came out in support of it 2 days after he
offically announced his re-election bid. said yes i support gay marriage
but im not going to do anything about it. me looking at the timing and what
he actually said i lmfo at all the stooges out there in the streets in
their rainbow parades too stupid to realize they just totally got played as
fools.
Who cares?
this wasn’t totally obvious already? You really felt it necessary to make a
video on this?
Not exactly a surprise, it’s strategy. I thought this might be interesting
or revealing. Oh boy! (Fred Flintstone)
THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END….JUST DON’T TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST
I can’t bee too hard on Joe here.. Regardless of their politics I know many
who have a change of mind after they experience something personally.
Learning something they could have figured out beforehand. Most often it’s
a pregnancy outside of marriage in the family isn’t the end of the world
followed by a member of a family realizing they are homosexual isn’t the
end of the world either.
Really dude. Why dont we take your advice, and use it on bigoted morons
like yourself?
Australian fatcats (politicians) are using the same tactics. None of them
are fairdinkum about it so don’t vote for them in the future.
