President Obama stated his children spurred and
encouraged his decision to come out in support of gay marriage
U.S. President Barack Obama controversially came out in
support of gay marriage this week, which offended many Christian and
Muslim voters, who deem it against their religions. As a Christian I can
understand where they are coming from on this issue. While I do not seek
to harm gays or anyone else, one cannot ask others to go against their
religion in support of an alternative lifestyle.
Reverend Franklin Graham, the son of legendary preacher,
Billy Graham, has branded President Obama's statements, "Shaking his
fist at God." This week, Billy Graham also lent his support to the
defense of marriage in North Carolina, due to attempts at bringing gay
marriage to the state he resides.

The rival Republican party in America has shunned the
issue in favor of the repairing the economy. Other heads of state, such
as Julia Gillard of Australia and the palace in the Philippines, also
disagree with Obama's stance on the issue.
President Obama's actions this week have many online
stating, he is a Christian only in name, while others still believe he
is a Muslim, the religion he ascribed to for most of his life, after
spending many years in Kenya and Malaysia. The president like anyone
else is entitled to his opinion, but he must realize not everyone feels
the same and the votes will reflect that come November. Hollywood
donating millions to his campaign this week to sway his statements,
cannot buy the vote of the populace in America, most of which is
Christian. In short, he has handed the election to Mitt Romney.
