Just a day after I made a post about "people who put their feet up" and people who don't, which includes a picture of President Barrak Obama with his feet up on his desk, President Obama has made national headlines for supporting gay marriage.
This is truly inspiring and illustrative of a person who is balanced, empathetic, and understands that he has no moral right to determine how another person should live his life. Some people are furious with the President's announcement because they think it is a ploy to garner campaign votes, but I see this as a moment of candid confession. This will only add fuel to the fire of the bigots who are crusading against equality and will provide half of the nation with more of a reason to vote against Obama in the upcoming election. I do not think this is political. I do not think he did this for any other agenda other than to express something human; we all deserve to be happy and loved.
Kudos, Mr. Prez.
