Barack Obama, June 5, 2006

And I should say that personally, I do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Just in case y'all think he's a friend to the gays.

WTF?

I.just.don't.under.stand.

I hear that all the time from just about every politician and yet I'm no closer to seeing the logic. What does that mean? Why is marriage between a man and a woman? I even heard a "person" say that once! Clearly they were just repeating the things their television told them to as they could offer no further explanation however hard I pried.

Yeah. Obama. Just in case anyone though he was an actual person. :-

I wish I had answers for you, I really do.

I can understand saying, "Maybe civil unions are better, blah blah blah, political talk," but I don't really understand the "Marriage is between one man and one woman" crap. I just don't. Maybe HIS marriage is, but mine isn't.

Maybe that's what he meant? That he can't personally imagine why he'd want to be married to a man?

Or maybe not... :o\

ha! yes. HIS marriage is! and mine isn't either!!!

but i still love him. not because of the gays. but because he inspires me. i like listening to him. i want him to be my president. im never going to agree with everything he says or does, but i like him in general and i believe he can be a great president.

I like listening to him, too. I like hopeful speeches and big dreams. I do. I'm a dreamer. I'm not going to lie.

But I also need more than hope and dreams in my president. I need to know that something is going to happen aside from pretty words and swelled hearts. I need action. He promises overhaul. I want overhaul, but I don't believe he's going to be able to bring it.

If he wins the nomination, will I vote for him? Oh, absolutely. But I still don't know if he can deliver.

I want to believe he can bring it. So I am going to.

I am also still holding out hope that he will name Oprah as his VP.

Ha ha ha ha ha, I don't know what I would do with Oprah as VP. :)
