Obama is on board...

Post by _subgenius »

...with the meaning and purpose of marriage.
Today at lunch i listened to the opening remarks of his speech (live) and noticed his statement about marriage. Yes, it was a casual remark, but it was clear with its meaning.
http://www.c-span.org/Events/Pres-Obama ... 737430229/
reference what he says at the time of 10:20 to 10:32

something he said about "Gentlemen, the point of marriage is to better your gene pool..."

Oh dear.
You seem to think Obama's encouraging of people to not be limited by race, culture, religion, social barriers etc when deciding on a marriage partner somehow dovetails with Mormonisms stance of:
“We recommend that people marry those who are of the same racial background generally, and of somewhat the same economic and social and educational background (some of those are not an absolute necessity, but preferred), and above all, the same religious background, without question”


subgenius you have certainly scored a goal, unfortunately it's at the wrong end.... :lol:

pay attention class, above is a good example of THIS

subgenius you have certainly scored a goal, unfortunately it's at the wrong end.... :lol:

says the guy who has yet to score at either end.
but you do get the "assist" by your affirmation that Obama agrees with me on the purpose of marriage.

Now, if you could just persuade him that his ancestors were cursed and that he can be your servant in the CK... :lol:
