IN the NEWS - Politicians Lie???

What???...POLITICIANS LIE???? R U SERIOUS?????....whoever would've thought a POLITICIAN would LIE???

"A former senior adviser to President Obama has confirmed what his most strident critics have said all along: Barack Obama lied to the American people about opposing gay “marriage” to boost his chances of winning the 2008 presidential elections.
David Axelrod, a veteran of Chicago left-wing politics who advised Obama during the campaign, makes the admission in a book Believer: My Forty Years in Politics.....


Obama first indicated his support for redefining marriage while running for state office in Illinois in 1996, filling out a questionnaire that said, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”
Candidate Obama wanted to publicly broadcast his views during his campaigns for national office but was afraid the position – then radically unpopular – would end his chances of becoming president. Axelrod writes that campaign manager Jim Messina warned Obama that backing same-sex “marriage” could cost him the electoral votes of North Carolina.

During a 2008 debate, Obama told Saddleback Church megapastor Rick Warren, “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix.”
But Axelrod reveals in his new book that, after proclaiming his support for marriage at one campaign event, Obama dismissed his rhetoric as nothing more than a bout of “bullsh---ing.”

As a candidate, he walked a thin line, stating his support for traditional marriage – but opposing any efforts that would legally codify that belief and backing government policies that would grant greater acceptance (and benefits) to homosexuals. In 2008, he dismissed opposition to homosexuality as based on “an obscure passage in Romans.”

Obama hinted at a bloggers conference in October 2010 that “attitudes evolve” on gay “marriage,” “including mine...I think it’s pretty clear where the trend lines are going.”
Axelrod exposes the fact that Obama was actually dying to place the full rhetorical weight of the bully pulpit behind same-sex “marriage.”

I’ve just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama told ABC News reporter Robin Roberts in an interview that aired on May 9, 2012. “When we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule.”

Yet liberal writer Jonathan Chait praised Obama in New York Magazine, writing that “Obama had the decency to lie badly.” Lifesite

Let's Look at the supposed "Obscure Passage" in Romans---And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
