OBAMA NOT SUPPORTIVE ENOUGH OF GAY MARRIAGE

I feel sorry for the President at times he is beseiged by his ultra-liberal constituents and radical special interest groups and blamed for not turning water into wine.  Apparently gay rights activists are blaming Obama for not vigorously supporting the Gay Marriage issue on the ballot in Maine.  In Maine voters voted to repeal a law which would allow and recognize same sex marriage in that state.  Apparently gay rights activists believe that Obama should have been more vocal in supporting this law the irony is that Obama represents the Federal government and this was and remains a states' rights issue. 
As the head of the Federal government Obama does not speak for or represent the views of the voting citizens of Maine.  My personal thoughts on gay marriage are mixed, but I strongly believe that each state should be allowed to vote on the issue and the prevailing side should have their say.  Every single state which has put gay marriage on the ballot has seen the voters of each state reject gay marriage at the ballot box.  In other words, gay marriage has never been approved by voters in any state in which it has been a ballot issue.  The only states which recognize gay marriage have either passed laws by judicial precedent or legislation that was not subject to a public vote.  I am personally against this imposition of morality by hook and crook.  If you are a proponent of gay marriage then put the issue on the ballot and let the voters of that state decide in a fair and democratic matter.  Do not use special interests lobbying and judicial fiat to to thwart the will of the people.

I am not opposed to the idea of civil unions or a new designation for homosexual matrimony I have some qualms with calling it marriage.  However, I stated earlier if this issue is placed on the ballot in Ohio and the majority of voters vote to approve same sex marriage then I will say congratulations gay may now marry.  Also in regards to the ultra-liberal left do not blame the President everytime a part of your agenda is rejected by America he is the President not the Messiah.  Bottom line the voters of Maine rejected a law that allows gay marriage for better or worse that is the rub so just move on and stop whining and pointing fingers.
