Someone Else 2012

Via The Huffington Post:

What the FUCK?

The Obama administration has gone from annoying inaction to downright animosity. The administration has filed a motion to dismiss the case of a married California couple who are challenging the 1996 [sic] Defense of Marriage Act. In their incendiary filing the Obama administration makes the usual one-man-one-woman bullshit arguments we've seen too much of recently. 

From The Huffington Post:

U.S. Department of Justice lawyers argued that the act _ known informally as DOMA _ is constitutional and contended that awarding federal marriage benefits to gays would infringe on the rights of taxpayers in the 30 states that specifically prohibit same-sex marriages.

"The president made very explicit and emphatic campaign promises that he opposes DOMA and would provide leadership calling on Congress to repeal it," said Jennifer Pizer, marriage project director for Lambda Legal. "This brief is not consistent with that promise."

Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said Friday that the department is abiding by its standard practice of defending existing law and that the filing doesn't mean Obama has changed his mind about wanting to see gay couples win federal recognition.

"Until Congress passes legislation repealing the law, the administration will continue to defend the statute when it is challenged in the justice system," Schmaler said.

More than four months into his first term, Obama has been under growing pressure from gay rights activists who supported his candidacy to move forward on repealing DOMA and the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prevents gays from serving openly in the military.

That's it. I'm done. If Obama doesn't take immediate action to undo the damage his people have done. If he doesn't start fulfilling his campaign promises. Then I'm going to do whatever I can to help someone else win the presidency from him in 2012. We had enough of lies, deciet and double-talk during the last administration.
