I read about "it" last night in another thread on this forum, but I did not comment about "it" in that thread. I was still formulating an opinion about "it", but now that I've thought about "it", this is what I have to say:
While I am personally against same-sex marriage, I really do not see the big deal in Obama coming out and saying he is okay with same-sex marriage. It doesn't mean that all of these states that have legislation against "it" are going to all of a sudden allow "it" just because Obama has a personal opinion about "it". Yes, he is the President of the United States, but he only has limited power. He's not a dictator.
Plus, I also feel like the same-sex marriage issue is small in comparison to other issues that the US is dealing with today. The media tries to make it seem like a big issue when it's really not. There's only a small number of people who are for same-sex marriage. The media tries to blow it up to distract us from what's really important. We can't let this small issue dictate everything else.
I know Obama is not perfect and I'm not sure of everything he has done to help the US, but overall, I think he is a good man. Like he said, he still will leave it up to the states to determine whether or not they allow same-sex marriage. He's not authorizing all states to be okay with "it".
