Mar 2014

I also believe Obama's leaning to the left on social issues is is nothing more than a facade. A beware of wolves in sheep's clothing / puppet show kind of facade.

But when it gets down to it, his coddling and protecting insanely rich criminals has hurt, and continues to hurt a lot more people than gay rights will ever help, but then what are we to expect from the son of a banker, and the grandson of a banker, and the best friend of banksters all over the world.

And yes gay, women, immigrant rights etc., are all important issues, but they pale in comparison to the problems the above the law criminal elites are causing with Obama's full support and blessing.
