Obama's church buddies on his new gay marriage stance

Obama's church buddies on his new gay marriage stance
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/14/us/pol...-risk.html

Quote:About two hours after declaring his support for same-sex marriage last week, President Obama gathered eight or so African-American ministers on a conference call to explain himself. He had struggled with the decision, he said, but had come to believe it was the right one.

The ministers, though, were not all as enthusiastic. A vocal few made it clear that the president’s stand on gay marriage might make it difficult for them to support his re-election.

What the fuck is this? What whenever the president decides to support equal rights he has to go talk to ministers to calm them down?

Quote:After complaints from Catholic leaders that the health insurance mandate attacked their faith, Mr. Obama offered a compromise that would maintain coverage for contraception but not require religious organizations to pay for it, but critics remained dissatisfied.

I mean seriously, what the fuck! Why does it feel like churches are running this country even with a liberal in office?
