Obama Lied About Gay Marriage

David Axelrod
By Jeremy Diamond and Eric Bradner, Feb.11, 2015, CNN

Washington (CNN) President Barack Obama insisted Tuesday that his former top political aide David Axelrod's got it wrong when it comes to Obama's position on same-sex marriage and whether it changed over time.

Axelrod wrote in his book published earlier Tuesday that Obama lied about his position on the issue for the sake of political expediency, writing that Obama had actually supported gay marriage for years. In coming out in support of same-sex couples' right to marry in May 2012, Obama had cited "the evolution that I went through."

"I think David is mixing up my personal feelings with my position on the issue," Obama said in an interview with BuzzFeed News. "I always felt that same-sex couples should be able to enjoy the same rights, legally, as anybody else, and so it was frustrating to me not to, I think, be able to square that with what were a whole bunch of religious sensitivities out there."

Prominent Dem Calls Perry Indictment 'Sketchy'--Guess Who? 

By Dave Urbanski, Aug. 16, 2014, Theblaze.com

On the same day Texas Gov. Rick Perry launched a pointed counterattack over his grand jury indictment on abuse of power charges, a prominent political figure stood up for the embattled Republican.

It’s fair to say, however, that he’s not an ally anyone expected.

David Axelrod, a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, tweeted the following on Saturday morning: “Unless he was demonstrably trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than his stated reason, Perry indictment seems pretty sketchy.”

Axelrod Swipes At Hillary Clinton Over Iraq

David Axelrod, the longtime top adviser to President Barack Obama, has taken to Twitter to slam Hillary Clinton in the wake of her comments rejecting the core of the Obama administration’s self-described foreign policy principle.

In an interview with The Atlantic, Clinton said the White House doctrine of “Don’t do stupid stuff” is “not an organizing principle.”

As a senator during the presidency of George W. Bush, Clinton voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq, a vote that played a major role in costing her the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.“Just to clarify: ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ means stuff like occupying Iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision,” read the tweet from Axelrod. He declined to expound on the tweet when reached via email by POLITICO.

Although Clinton has always been more hawkish than Obama, her comments to The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg were widely taken as an attempted calibration away from the increasingly unpopular president as she ponders a second White House run.

Axelrod’s astonishing public swipe at Clinton revealed the extent to which Obama allies are furious over her interview, in which the former secretary of state also allied herself tightly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called Obama’s decision to not assist Syrian rebels early on a “failure.”

Several sources close to the White House described Obama aides as angered by Clinton’s critiques. Her team had warned them the interview was coming, but it also landed as the president is grappling with a string of global crises.

This week marks the end of Piers Morgan’s show on CNN and his run has been full of effusive praise for liberals and damnation of conservatives. Even before Morgan began his show, back in 2010, he tipped his hand in which ideological direction he wanted to take the show when he revealed who he most wanted to interview: “I’d love to do President Obama. I like what he’s done for the reputation of America abroad, which I’m not sure many Americans fully understand.”

In contrast, Morgan viciously attacked gun rights advocates and Tea Party activists, while giving better treatment to Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who he once asked how many times he had “been properly in love?” [video countdown after the jump]

From oozing that Obama was the “perfect physical specimen” to repeatedly insulting “unbelievably stupid” gun rights activists and comparing the Tea Party to Nazis, the one time British tabloid editor alienated viewers with one progressive punch after another.

The following is a countdown the of Top 10 Most Obnoxious Piers Morgan quotes:

10. Barack Obama, the “Perfect Physical Specimen”



9. Morgan Slams Limbaugh Yet Laughs at Maher’s Vulgarity




8. Post-Partisan Obama vs. “Express Train of Bile”




7. Fawning Over the Dictator of Love...




6. Morgan Savages “Unbelievably Stupid” Gun Rights Advocate




5. “A Lot of Things Are Just Perfect About Barack Obama”




4. British Host Belittles Constitution: Your “Little Book”




3. Morgan Smears: “You Know Elements of the Tea Party Are Racist”




2. Morgan Deplores America’s “Gun Culture”



1. Tea Partiers Not Bright, Like Hitler’s Mobs?
