Not sure what he's expecting to get other than "we wish he had publicly supported it earlier but it's nice that he came around, whatever the reasons for doing so might be,"

Now that it�s a civil right, opposition to gay marriage could be considered bigotry.

Um, it kind of already was, there, on account of that's what it actually was, there.

I thought it was also pretty common knowledge that Obama supported gay marriage before he ran for president, but had to put a lid on it when he ran.

Which was a bit cowardly, but if it was what it took to prevent the McCain/Palin presidency, I can hardly fault him.

Don't you know? Supporting something you used to not support is just shameless pandering.

I mean, ~60,000,000 Americans also changed their opinion on gay marriage since 2008 so he's not exactly alone.

They really are making a pop-less bubble wrap, called "iBubble" (seriously). I have to agree with Stantis, that's a travesty and a grave injustice.

Mellow Seas: Oct 9, 2012; Can't post for 10 years!

I think the biggest problem I have with the cartoon is that Obama doesn't call gay marriage opponents loving bigots. He goes out of his way to praise their patriotism and and express how much he wants to open a dialogue blah blah blah. I have to say, "Democrats' only counter argument is 'BIGOT' or 'RACIST'" is one of the more annoying political strawmen. Especially since the grain of truth that it's based in only exists because Republicans have lots of loving bigoted and racist policy positions.

I was looking at it and it's basically long wiggly parallel (possibly lightly sectioned) tubes of air instead of a bunch of individual pockets. The advantage of the new stuff is that it doesn't have to be shipped and stored pre-inflated and is thus way more space efficient.
