Re: Obama May Endorse Marriage Equality After Election, Ari Fleischer Says

I don't care if you marry your cat. I think it is a bad call, but you
go with your gut feelings. I am happy you are happy.
People who care who or what other people marry are REALLY messed up.
They say "it affects marriage"
Well if it affects your marriage I think you need to get divorced.
What you pretended to have ain't worth a crap if you think like that.
You can marry anything you want, I certainly won't stop you but there
are people devoting their precious time here on earth to stop you.
Why? There simply is no good answer.

And while I don't agree with Obie on much I don't think he has clear
sailing to do much of anything, re-elected or not.
(certainly looks re-elected so far)
He is heavily bound by congress. He can make all the flowery speeches
he wants but he can't make congress vote.
The money won't let him anyway. Get over it, he is just another BOT
front, he just happens to have the best programming for the job.
