The life of a nation! Swoony swoon, isn’t he dreamy? Wonder if she is wearing pearls that she can clutch?
The Associated Press went with a tweet that stroked Obama and slammed those bitter bible clingers.
Obama says support of gay marriage may rankle religious conservatives, but Golden Rule guides his faith: http://t.co/zNMaOevN -EF
