POTUS's stance on gay marriage
(which is officially, "I don't know") is either irony or hypocrisy.
I'll let you, dear reader, decide which. Recently, Vice President Biden, a
self-declared devote Catholic, stated he is greatly in favor of gay
marriage. POTUS, on the other hand, is not really against it or for it
but is for it in a way but has said some stuff indicating he is against
it kind of in a way while still supporting it but not directly ever in any way, kind of, somewhat, a little. Confused? Indeed. Why can't
politicians just say what they truly believe? Something fundamental
like this should elicit a clear position one way or the other. Why
wouldn't you just come right out and support gay marriage if you support
gay marriage? The reason is politics, plain and simple. POTUS has a
long tradition of splitting the fence and taking no position. You can
get away with that during a lot of local elections but at the federal
level, especially for the presidency, at some point, someone is going to
catch on. A friend of TCD's once wrote an article on POTUS' squishy,
no-position on every-position approach to politics and that refrain
seems to be catching steam in the media these days. Take this article for example.
Another political irony comes from Elizabeth Warren who has claimed for years that she is native American (and seems to have benefited substantially from that partial identity). However, it turns out she probably isn't Cherokee and, in fact, had family members who were responsible for rounding up natives and sending them down the Trail of Tears.
