I spent some time browsing Obama's web site. I really don't see any "change" from the standard Democrat line. New federal programs, more federal regulation, redistribute wealth, etc, etc. I'm not saying his ideas are bad or wrong, but the ideas are not new by any stretch. Democrats have been championing this stuff for decades. Obama is the latest lead spokesperson.
I read Obama Statement on Pride Month. Again, I've read many similar statements from various politicians over the years. Well written, or as Joe Biden would say, articulate. Nothing new though. Here is another statement from a politician regarding gay people:
"The Constitution says that all men are created equal, and it doesn't say that all men are created equal except for gays. Just like everyone else who is born in this country, gays are endowed by their creator, God, with inalienable rights, and among those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. At birth, whether your are born in Russia, Cuba, South America, or New York, you are born equal. The difference is that our [American] babies grow up to live free."
Very understandable language. You can guess who said it.
