Jeff, I think actions speak pretty loudly. We've gone over the whole war and 9/11 scare tactics for ever, but here's a brand new one.
The wedge issue of gay marriage came out of nowhere during the election season. It was one of his top priorities. It brought out his base in record numbers and it painted democrats as immoral, evil people.
So you would think that the amendment to the constitution banning gay marriage (god it hurts just to type that
) would be a top priority? It was part of every stump speech, it was part of the Republican Platform...
Well, guess what, it's off the radar, dropped like a hot potato, no longer on the agenda. It served its purpose.
This one example defines the character of our president.
