Blog 7 Obama changed his mind -__-

I feel that the gay marriage thing has gone completely out of hand. I am not a lesbian but I personally do not care about what other people are doing with their relationship. This shouldn’t even be an issue that the government should be involved with .I think that this ban on multiple states is really sad. Why should the government be the bend in anyone’s personal relationship? How does the government feel about the transgendered? It’s not okay to be in a relationship spend your life with someone you love but the government is okay with the transformation of genders. If someone has changed their sex, will they be able to legally marry someone of the opposite sex who is technically the same sex? It all contradicts itself, and in reality is just another discrimination case. We have more important issues to deal with, rather than getting involved in people’s relationships and personal issues.
When President Obama announced that he now supports gay marriage. Was he trying to make a point, and stand out or was this his last try at grabbing extra voters? Either way, given that the majority of America does not support gay marriage, Obama is asking to be out of office. This was an extremely risky thing to do. It makes me question whether he initially always supported same sex marriage, or did he lie to keep Americans on his side.
America lacks individuality, and our government is a total reflection of it. The citizens and what we live by are completely replicated by other countries and structure. Americans claim to have so much pride and like one of my peers stated, “America was a country founded on the principles of compromise, but in today's modern government I see so no willingness to compromise.  Our politicians refuse to even agree on policy change that majority of the general public wants.  Many politicians seem to have this winner take all attitudes.  This unwillingness to compromise is only hurting the people.” I agree completely. As American citizens, our voice as individuals is not heard effectively and all the chaos in our country is a result of our government. Politics, I feel are decided amongst those who have wealth and power, and it has always been this way. The only way to get the citizens voice out is to force our voice out , by any means necessary .
