All the usual wise-ass remarks aside

This is a big and historic day in the United States -- while it may have been a braver stance somewhat earlier, it is still a big one for the President of the United States to come out for marriage equality.

And it shows a big difference between Barack Obama and the smug pettiness and cramped morals of Mitt Romney.

I could not be more proud. No caveats, no criticism today. This is a Good Day, and my thanks to President Obama for making it so.

"Smug pettiness and cramped morals" pretty much describes the entire Mormon population of the USA, and the entire Repuke party.

By waffling about, he pretty much guaranteed he was going to take flak till November 6th on the issue anyway.

So this is what passes for a Profile in Courage these days, finally doing what's right when compromise becomes more politically damaging. Well, we'll take what we can get. JFK did just about the same in his time.

e (approx. 2.71828) cheers for the President of the United States.

When you consider that every large swing state has anti-gay marriage legislation on the books (FL,VA, OH, NC), this was a stance taken with politically courage. I'm with Donnah - nothing but applause. Also too, as someone over at Balloon Juice pointed out, his actions for the LGBT community have been substantial.

Today the general public is learning about it. The result is a weight loss dietary supplement that cannot offer the same degree of effectiveness as the one using a fully matured Hoodia Gordonii plant. Buy Hoodia Gordonii Plus Today When we eat, blood glucose levels go up and the hypothalamus senses that we are 'full'. I have been dieting and I have been exercising but power-pops have definitely been an enormous boost.
