The amount of commenters on here who don’t understand sarcasm or irony is disturbing.

They also used Amy Poehler, Jerry Seinfeld, Tina Fey…and Betty White. Go to the corner and think about what you just wrote.

Just because our major media outlets are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, doesn’t mean the White House has to too. Waiting and listening before you speak: what a novel idea.

yeah…but it’s still awkward.

Dude that black and white quilt is awesome.

He seems happy.

Yeah, this was the crux of the Equal Protection arguments in the Supreme Court cases. Both sides agreed that marriage was about more than the love of two consenting adults, that marriage was important for the American family and the creation of a strong, productive new generation. THE QUESTION THEN, IS should we discriminate against gay couples who wish to take on the duty of rearing and raising the next generation simply because they cannot procreate. The conservatives said yes, that procreation was the lynch pin of marriage, at which point Justices Sotomayor and Kagan pointed out that barren couples and couples over a procreative age can marry without dissent.  Turning the conservative argument (and yours @cm06) around, Kennedy suggested that if it really is about children, then there are hundreds (thousands?) of families out there right now (with children!) that are being invalidated because the heads of those households are gay. That there are thousands and thousands of children who are in want of a loving family and gay couples can fill their need. IN SHORT: the honorable task of raising America’s children with love and distinction so that they increase the value of this country can be executed by a couple irregardless of their ability to conceive those children.

ugh…THAT’S THE FRIGGIN’ POINT!!!

Reading about all this security in the White House all I can say is good…I would HOPE that there is crazy security at the building that houses the offices of the PRESIDENT.
