What to do when you have radical friends

Democratic peer pressure

This issue has to make Obama uncomfortable. New York is now the latest state to push for gay marriage. Democratic Governor David Paterson is sending up a bill to the Assembly pronto, Chuck Schumer has only recently converted to the gay marriage cause and Bam must be thinking "you know guys your state has its own economic woes and you're concerned with this right now?" It's like when you have a group of friends and over time you see they're a little bit off, just a wee tad like Bam is in the back seat and Paterson is driving his souped up GTO with the hemi, Chuck is sitting right next to him, they both got little old lady cataract glasses on and Paterson puts the pedal to the medal and Bam is like "SLOW DOWN ALREADY!!" They pick up Bloomberg, for some reason I can't get it out of my head that he's not a Democrat, he's for the gay marriage too and he's enjoying the ride as well. I don't think Obama wants to go down in History as the one-term president who effected radical social change or more likely at least wanted to as I really doubt even if Richard Simmons were president he'd be able to pass gay marriage in all 50 states in just one term. Even if Obama in his heart of hearts were for the thing I think he'd much prefer to be safely ensconced in his second term before upheaving society as we know it. I think he wants to govern moderately for the next four years, he has his nice sweater on with the little alligator but his friends Dave and Chuck are like

"hey Bam come and watch the sheep video with us"

maybe someone passes him a joint. They take him to a club and pay for a free lap dance for him but he's sitting there all stiff,

you know man can't he just break free and hang with his own crowd? those who get it about not rocking the boat too much, these be tough economic times. Can't we be content with making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for now, kicking back with some milk and getting those economic numbers up again ("hey guys it's time for a break") while Dave and Chuck behind his back are calling him a f****n faggot for not getting on board. He's the first African-American president for cryin' out loud, he's Made History, lower the flame and just let it simmer for awhile.

  1. I hope if he gets on board with this queer marriage shit that his daughters marry each other and he NEVER gets to enjoy the continuation of the bloodline, America doesn't need any more NObamas anyway!

  2. That is funny, AA!

    As for Paterson driving, isn't he blind? Or was that an intentional jab at those in control having no right to be doing so?

    As for Obama, why do you think he is moderate???

  3. Paterson driving, think of Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. I never said Obama was moderate but I think he wants to appear so and with friends like this...

  4. This thought occured to me yesterday and I have it in my notes here somewhere...oh yes here it is...that let's say this social experiment called gay marriage really picks up steam, say one day it gets approved in most states and then after a few years time the gays start divorcing just like us heteros, it'd be kind of funny and would prove that people just don't get along with each other period. Let's say you have a 50% gay divorce rate, roughly that of the straights it'd be ironic since I think one of the assumptions being made here in this whole debate is just let us be really really happy, let us live happily ever after but I would submit there's no such thing. It's kind of an unspoken idea at least in my mind that the gays are saying they can do it better than the heteros but I'ma tellin' ya you're gonna have your big nasty gay divorces hitting the papers.
