If there was anyone that should read (Prop 8) opinion it would be this son of an interracial couple

David is a powerful speaker, and writer. If you ever get the chance to see him speak in person, do. Here's what David has to say about the Prop 8 decision and our current president:

'If there was anyone that should sit down and read this opinion it would be this son of an interracial couple'
.................

After the Proposition 8 historic decision came down on Wednesday, my email box was flooded with people from every walk of life issuing press releases praising the victory. The Republican Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't be more excited for the LGBT community in our victory. Justice and equality was having a good day and everyone was basking in it.

Well, not quite everyone. Our President, our fierce advocate, continued with a game of giving us begrudgingly congratulations in a tepid unemotional and uninspired statement while sending his minions out to make sure the entire country knew that he was against marriage equality. If there was anyone that should sit down and read this opinion it would be this son of an interracial couple who had to go to Supreme Court to obtain marriage equality.

Unfortunately, he didn't even mention the court case in his two line statement. However, David Axelrod found plenty of time to go on national television to make sure the country knew that Obama was against marriage equality. Then there was the cowardly "nameless source" who said the President would only deal with those actions at the federal level such as benefits and things.

This game has to stop. The President is either with us or against us. If he is neutral, so be it but then stop hurting us by saying over and over how marriage equality is between a man and a women.

1. Obama is covered in shame over this. Its his to tote and no one

can mitigate it. His parents were even legally able to marry in half of America at the time they did. He is a terribly sad man to me over this. You know his mother wouldn't agree with him. And don't tell me how would I know? Of course, she would not agree with him.
