So you're saying Obama is not an intelligent adult? Great! Good to see we're on the same page.

Obama: :"You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman"

No. I still think that these are decisions that need to be made at a state and local level. I'm a strong supporter of civil unions. And I think that, you know, we're involved in a national conversation about this issue.

You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, but I also think that same-sex partners should be able to visit each other in hospitals, they should be able to transfer property, they should be able to get the same federal rights and benefits that are conferred onto married couples.

And so, you know, as president, my job is to make sure that the federal government is not discriminating and that we maintain the federal government's historic role in not meddling with what states are doing when it comes to marriage law. That's what I'll do as president.

I missed the part where he plans on outlawing gay marriage at the Federal level.
This is what Obama actually said, as opposed to your amateurish attempt at spin:

He's keeping Uncle Sam's nose out of states affairs. Isn't that what Republicans want?

You couldn't get past the cover of a Sally, Dick and Jane book, let alone be on the same page as anyone.

I'm with you, man - send 'em to insulated communities/work camps, like we did with the indians - for freedom and democracy.

This is what he said about the issue in 1996:

1996: In response to a questionnaire from Outlines newspaper (now part of Windy City Times), Obama, a candidate for the Illinois state senate seat representing the wealthy Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, writes, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." Eight years later, in a letter to Windy City Times, Obama would say that he opposed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) of 1996, calling it “an effort to demonize people for political advantage” that should be repealed...

Your quote didn't say he was against it. Stating that marriage is between a man and a woman isn't equivalent to opposing gay marriage. You are misreading that quote. In the full quote he says it should be decided by the states which means he supports a state's decision to legalize gay marriage. That means he is not opposed to it.

Why do retards like you want everything to be a referendum on Obama?

If Obama really holds a deep personal belief that gay marriage is wrong, then yes, he's a retard. Just like you.

Only bigots, morons, retards, or political panderers are opposed to gay marriage.
