Apparently, civil rights aren't newsworthy enough today, per Obama

Gays getting married change nothing it appears.

I love them man, but fuck am I pissed off right now.

1. Stop it - that's not fair. This is about Afghanistan and the

economy, not about gay marriage or open questions. These are important issues, too and objectively, probably concern many more Americans than gay rights (many of the people I know didn't care one way or the other even though I was rabid about it!).

I've been pissed at him for his waffling and inaction, so I'm not apologizing for him, but I don't think it's fair to say "civil rights aren't newsworthy enough today, per Obama". He did not say that, he's focused on something else which affects the country, too.

2. He said equal marriage should be resolved through debate and voting in the states. nt

6. That's for another time - another press conference, that's all I'm saying.

Anyway, we know that's how we feels, so not sure what "news" we expect to hear.
