Obama And Same-sex Marriage

Barack Obama has determined that the Defense of Marriage Act---the 1996 law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages---is unconstitutional and has directed the Justice Department to stop defending the law in court. Obama is a typical politician who wants to get re-elected. I hope this decision backfires on him because I truly believe that marriage is only between a man and a woman, and that the same-sex marriage campaign is an attempt to legitimize perverted conduct. My words have nothing to do with hatred. I refuse to hate anyone. Certain lifestyles are chosen, and I am not one to judge, however, God has declared this conduct to be wrong, therefore it is. Obama opposes same-sex marriage (at least he says he does) but has said repeatedly that his views are "evolving." How convenient. How can you be for something and against something at the same time? Also, How accurate are the words of Rep. Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee? "It is a transparent attempt to shirk the department's duty to defend the laws passed by Congress. This is the real politicization of the Justice Department--when the personal views of the president override the government's duty to defend the law of the land." The abandonment of the Defense of Marriage Act is an outrageous political move that was legally unjustified. How much power does Obama actually have? Is he the President or is he a dictator?
