Looks Can Be Deceiving
May 15, 2012 by Ben Crystal

President Barack Obama appeared to reverse his view on same-sex marriage in a May 9 interview with Robin Roberts of ABC's “Good Morning America.”At first glance, it seemed like a brilliant idea. President Barack Obama, faced with a campaign sinking like CNN’s primetime ratings, abruptly threw his social policy in reverse and “endorsed” same-sex marriage. Within moments, his remarkable economic ineptitude, the abandonment of the labor pool by hundreds of thousands of citizens, the stratospheric national debt, the unstable-and-getting-worse situation in the Mideast, his unapologetic racism and even the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder is neck-deep in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal all became afterthoughts. Granted, the sycophants in the corporate media would actually have to acknowledge the aforementioned Obama benchmarks in order to stop acknowledging them, but the message was clear.

With one well-timed blurb, Obama turned around his campaign. The corporate media, always willing to hail Obama as a hero, fell over each other to present the President’s flip-flop as a brave and principled stand by an ever-evolving man of deep thought and deeper conviction. The Washington Post and other liberal organs proffered fawning profiles. The tattered remnants of Newsweek, completing its dive into the used bathwater of left-wing tabloid “journalism,” even leaked a copy of its next cover, featuring a “hero” angle shot of Obama with a rainbow-hued halo hovering above his head. It was a moment of absolute brilliance from the man whom the media has already taken to calling the Nation’s “First Gay President.”

But that first glance was as wrong as Bill Maher’s stand-up routine.

First of all, Obama had no intention of reversing himself on gay marriage — at least, not now. Were it not for the verbal diarrhea that poured out of Vice President Joe Biden’s piehole on May 6, Obama would likely have waited until October to deploy his rainbow parachute. While it is possible that Biden was tasked with floating the gay marriage test balloon, it seems unlikely that Obama would waste such a theoretically momentous move so early in the campaign season. It seems even less likely that Obama would use Biden as a stalking horse in place of someone who doesn’t remind Americans of the crazy uncle they can’t leave alone with the kids.

Secondly, Obama didn’t actually reverse himself on gay marriage. In fact, he moved from opposing the idea in 2008 to offering only lukewarm acceptance in 2012. During his now-infamous game of rhetorical softball with ABC sock puppet Robin Roberts: “The president stressed that this is a personal position, and that he still supports the concept of states deciding the issue on their own.” Translation: He supports gay marriage, just as long as no one expects him to do anything other than pay it lip service.

Americans tend to take a jaundiced view of overt political moves masquerading as principle. Granted, liberals tend to be more pliable on that front, considering that they define themselves by politics and generally eschew principle. But Obama has already made it clear that he won’t be adding same-sex marriage to his electoral platform. Without a clear statement of intent, the President’s supposedly era-defining statement is nothing more than political smoke and mirrors, more hype standing in for meaningful hope. By pandering to voters who consider same-sex marriage a defining issue, he’s preaching to the choir — albeit in an exceptionally patronizing manner.

Moreover, Obama’s decision to “come out” may well have been a terminal miscalculation. An increasing number of Americans realize that Obama is a Presidential magic act: long on show, short on substance. This is a President whose endeavors have been so shrouded by scandal and failure that his latest campaign pitch involves reminding people that Seal Team 6 killed Osama bin Laden last year. Polling indicates that his gay marriage ploy has alienated voters either opposed to the concept or merely offended by his latest duplicitous distraction from the dire circumstances into which he has plunged the rest of us.

Regardless of your opinion of same-sex marriage, Obama’s attempt to draw our collective gaze away from his lack of accomplishment and toward meaningless theatrics stinks worse than an Occupy Wall Street rally on a summer day. But America has already seen this show, and we didn’t really enjoy it that much the first time around.

Barack Obama: The First Gay President?
May 15, 2012 by Bryan Nash

THEDAILYBEAST.COM

Newsweek proclaimed Barack Obama "The First Gay President."A Newsweek cover may herald more truth than the magazine knows. The cover touts President Barack Obama as “The First Gay President,” complete with a rainbow halo.

The cover story’s author, Andrew Sullivan, is openly gay. The title, no doubt, is meant as an attention-getter and is not overly surprising following TIME’S recent cover photo.

Sullivan (and Newsweek, for that matter) is likely unaware of Obama’s gay past, which the mainstream media have attempted to keep locked in the closet.

In 2010, investigative reporter Wayne Madsen wrote an article on his subscription-only site, the Wayne Madsen Report (WMR) which unveiled his discovery that Obama frequented a raunchy Chicago gay club, Man’s Country. The report also claims that then-Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel is also a member. You didn’t see that on CNN, did you?

Madsen is not some lunatic blogging over a bowl of Lucky Charms; he is a highly touted journalist and former U.S. Naval Officer. Reportedly, sources close to Man’s Country told WMR that Obama and Emmanuel are on file as members. Man’s Country goes to great extremes to maintain privacy and confidentiality due to the nature of the club. It is believed that the U.S. Secret Service has destroyed any evidence of the two men being on the club’s files. Allegedly, Obama and Emmanuel have ID cards which are required for admission into the club’s facilities. Sources within Chicago’s gay community report Obama would frequent the club on Wednesdays.

Furthermore, sources told WMR that Obama went to Man’s Country because he enjoyed receiving sexual favors from white men. This would lend credence to Larry Sinclair’s claims in 2008 that he and Obama had engaged in sexual acts on two occasions. Shortly after making the allegations, a warrant for Sinclair’s arrest was issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden. Beau Biden is Vice President Joe Biden’s son.

Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign reportedly discovered information that would add credibility to WMR’s findings. “During the 2008 election, I campaigned for Hillary Clinton in the Democrat primaries. Repeatedly, I heard over and over here in Chicago that Barack Obama is gay and that his marriage to Michelle is one of mutual convenience,” wrote Kevin DuJan. Photos reveal that Obama has been wearing a wedding ring long before he was married. Why might that be?

The marriage between Barack Obama and Michelle LaVaughn Robinson was performed by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Reportedly, Wright ran the Down Low Club, commonly referred to as DLC, in Chicago. Sources in Chicago’s gay community report that Wright and the club functioned as a matchmaker for gay black men. Allegedly, the DLC’s purpose was to keep gay black men from frequenting bars or posting ads online.

Reportedly, Obama and Trinity United Church of Christ choir director Donald Young were among the members of DLC. Two other gay black men were members of DLC and TUCC: Larry Bland and Nate Spencer. Mysteriously, all three died in late 2007 as Obama campaigned for the Presidency. Where was MSNBC for that story?

Rumors have swirled that Reggie Love, Obama’s friend and personal trainer, has been involved in a homosexual relationship with Obama. Obama referred to Love as his “body man” and frequently had 15-minute personal training appointments. Love announced in 2011 he would be stepping down from the position. WMR reported that, at the same time, evidence surfaced which suggested Love was involved in gay sex parties at Duke University and the University of North Carolina.

There has also been suspicion that Obama and Kal Penn, a gay actor who was appointed associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, had a sexual relationship. Penn left in April 2010 and was robbed at gunpoint shortly thereafter. His two government-issued cellphones were stolen. Some have speculated that the Obama regime stole the phones in order to cover up evidence of the alleged gay relationship.

Sources have also come forward and accused Obama of having homosexual relationships with politicians Artur Davis, Deval Patrick and Bill Frist.

“They know how to quash a story,” said James Manning, a Harlem pastor who has vocally disproved of Obama since his election, referring to Obama and the mainstream media. Manning claims he has evidence that will undeniably prove that Obama has a homosexual past, but that it must be released at the right time. He believes he must wait for the proper time, or the evidence will be destroyed. Manning has said that, in Chicago, Obama’s gay past is public knowledge among the gay community.

Rush Limbaugh has posed a worthwhile question: “Where are Obama’s former girlfriends?” One would think that women would come forward and provide evidence of a past relationship with the President, but so far no woman has.

Perhaps a Newsweek title is completely true for a change.

where were Bushs former girlfriends?

who cares? really, another 'what I think other people would do' scenario?

in any case, Masden is not necessarily a credible source and may be as much a 'loon' as anyone else

with a particular obsession with pedophilia and homosexuality apparently,,,,

he also reported Bush had a gay affair
the house speaker Haysbert was gay
and that he didnt get promoted in the navy because of pedophiles
