It's nearly a certainty. When he attended Church in Chicago, Obama was a member of a liberal congregation that did not oppose gay marriage. He attended Easter services at an Episcopalian (i.e., presumably pro-gay) Church this year.
There's been a lot of talk lately about the decriminalization of marijuana possession/use, and at one of his recent town hall meetings, one of the most popular questions asked related to this very issue. Obama made what could be construed as a fairly snide comment about Internet users, but the feeling I got was that he was hiding his true opinion on that issue for political expediency as well. He didn’t address the heart of the issue, which was “should it be legalized?” Instead, his answer was that he didn’t think it was
“a good strategy to boost the economy.”It was a nice way to avoid the real issue. I bet if he thought it wouldn’t be political suicide, he
would push for legalization. Why wouldn’t he? I can't think of a single law that's dumber, more expensive, and bass ackwards as the ones concerning pot (not to mention gambling and prostitution). If those are illegal, why isn't over eating or alcohol? Makes no sense at all.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
