The Real Obama: He Aims to Deceive

Obama bobs and weaves in his attempt to keep Americans from knowing his true positions on important issues. Does he believe they would make him unelectable or is he just planning a post-election surprise?

Barack Obama Needs to Admit It-He Supports Same-Sex 'Marriage'

Research by FRC Action into Obama's statements on same-sex "marriage," reported today in an op-ed by Peter Sprigg on our website, confirms that although presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama claims to oppose same-sex "marriage," what he "truly feels" is support for radically re-defining marriage. Obama supports granting 100% of the legal rights and benefits of marriage to homosexual couples; opposes virtually any legal means available of defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman (calling marriage amendments "divisive and discriminatory"); "respects" courts that unilaterally overturn the democratically determined definition of marriage; compares legalizing same-sex "marriage" with legalizing interracial marriage; and "congratulates" homosexual couples who have entered into legally-recognized civil marriages. This is the definition of a supporter, not an opponent, of same-sex "marriage."
