It's a Slap in the Face of the Thousands of Black Christians Who Gave Him the Benefit of the Doubt and Who Voted for Him; It Is Also a Further Shame on Black Men and the Black Community Who Are Already Seen in This Country by Many as Immoral, AIDS-Infested, Unclean, and Irresponsible.
In the article below, we have two black men who have "made it": President Obama and Eric Holder, who are unprecedently leading the country down the immoral slippery slope of pushing the government of the United States, which was created based upon Judeo-Christian values, to actually give its blessing to and sanction this abomination. Even the talk of legalizing marriage between two men and two women was not even done in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah before they were destroyed, nor was it done in Rome before it was destroyed. It is a shame that the first black President is not a man's man, but rather has chosen to push an aggressive, ungodly, homosexual agenda to his own destruction. It is a shame that a presidency that began with such hope will end in utter failure and will be seen by many as the worse presidency in the history of America, not because Obama is black, but because he chose to promote the abomination of homosexuality in this country which has been the light of the world for God for over 200 years.
Following is an article from the Associated Press regarding the things that this unwise President has done and is doing for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, homosexual community while the nation crumbles to the ground:

Obama Is Trying to Use a Slow, Slick, Incremental Approach to His Foolish Homosexual Agenda and the Military and Millions in this Country Do Not Want It
Yes, Stanley McChrystal broke military code by mocking the President and his advisors. But, if you read the article, this is nothing but manly men, locker-room talk that has gone on since the beginning of the military. And if you think that McChrystal and his boys did not know what they were doing when they said these things, you are crazy. They said what they said in front of that reporter intentionally. They wanted this to get out through a third-party. One of the reasons why is that these manly men, such as Stanley McChrystal, who can't see his wife but 30 days out of the year, do not want to be sitting next to some homosexual looking and lusting after them. The military, of all places, is not suitable for an open-homosexual environment. Nor is it fair to the men and women who do not have a homosexual bone in their body and they cannot understand why anybody else has a homosexual bone in their body. They cannot understand how their commander-in-chief would try to put such a burden on them, out in the desert, when he can lay beside his beautiful wife every night. Stanley McChrystal and men like him in the military may be a lot of different things, but they are not punks. And while they are fighting for their lives against a bunch of insane enemies, who will blow up their own mother, don't have time to deal with a bunch of weak, effeminate punks. Mr. President, this is the real reason why General Stanley McChrystal is willing to risk court-martial and the destruction of his long career -- for the sake of keeping the military as it is now with the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in place. McChrystal and none of the other real men in the military want to see their commander-in-chief continue to push his homosexual agenda in the military and in America.
