Obama: Troops Fighting On My Behalf
This
week, President Obama finally came out to the world as a same-sex
marriage supporter. Like Rosie O’Donnell, everyone knew what President
Obama was long ago; still, his timing was bizarre, coming a day after
North Carolina overwhelmingly stood up for traditional marriage.What was even weirder, though, was Obama’s language in embracing same-sex marriage:
[W]hen I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
