    I'm pretty sure he died from the embarrassment of such a bad haircut.

    Ideally you'd want a man of deep reflection, thought, principled and intelligent, ethical and not guided by the status quo dictates if they were irrational. You'd want a Picard to be president of the world's most powerful nation with the biggest nuclear arsenal, not a dumbass bully who blindly follows the consensus that difference=gay, particularly with regards to hair styles, maybe he grew out of such narrowmindedness but I wouldn't count on it.

    As I said:

    The guy zombie who had his hair cut probably harbours a grudge, and is waiting for the right moment for bloody revenge

    I think Obama was most of these things until he actually got elected and received "the chat" from the powers that actually run the country,

    By my reckoning (open to be wrong), he said "Sorry" for the attack - fair enough - but he didn't say sorry and/or excuse himself for the reasons being the attack?

    THAT says more about him (and against him), if so!

    Without the religious right his defeat to Obama will be nothing short of a landslide.

    I don't think, at that age, it was homophobic. More of a reaction at someone 'different'. If the chap was on a scholarship and poor I'd imagine he'd come in for the same treatment.

    It wouldn't surprise me if some of our past and current leaders haven't acted in a similar manner when they were younger.

    Well with the possible entire gay side of America maybe lending Obama support now just to keep Mitt out, it was good gamble by Obama to out with his statement last night.

    By (sly desired?) effect, Mitt's homophobic tendencies will be focused upon him now the whole way through his efforts for running for office.

    Even so if the chap was 'diffrent' - I don't see any apology, sign of regret or withdrawal from Mitt for the reasons behind the attack.

    He says "Sorry" much later - after the chap is dead? - buts says nothing of regret about the reasons for it!

    I agree in once part but disagree in another way.

    All stuff that is done in school might not necessarily be brought up - however in the case of a man becoming the 'most powerful one in the world' with fingers on the nuke buttons, anything that might show his true mental character, is always important.

    I know they're both bald but Picard and Putin look fairly different.

    Yeah it was really brave of Obama to say something that pretty much his entire support agrees with anyway. :rolleyes:

    Well then he is really is Picardian, he loses every fight he's in. Ok scratch that, America needs a president whose Kirk at the domestic level winning every fight with vested interests/lobbies/corporations, rehabilitating the nation, but whose also Picard on the international stage, eg not trigger happy.

    Liberals in North Carolina could have used it few days before amendment one passed, though. there's fair bit of cynicism about it. the log cabin republicans are having none of it.

    And on the other side you have all the Christian Conservatives weighing in beind Romney - someone they weren't initially keen on compared to say Santorum. Make no mistake, Romney's vague apology is his way of courting that conservative vote.

    I can see a good part of this election just constantly revolving around religion and homosexuality in topics.

    Here's a good article of the + and - of Obama and Mitts situation in regard gay marriage and homosexuality: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/president-obamas-calculated-gamble-on-gay-marriage/2012/05/09/gIQAxlsWDU_blog.html

    I can form my own opinions thanks. Conservatives were always going to hold their noses and vote for Romney, so they haven't budged. Black evangelicals will stick with Obama as much as they did last time around. All this statement does is take attention off the economy for a while, so mission accomplished.

    He isn't homophobic, if he was homophobic he wouldn't have touched a suspected gay let alone pin him down.

    Mitt is not homophobic, he is gay.

    Remember, it's far gayer for a bloke to be a hairdresser than to have a **** haircut.

    Pity in this case, it was very wrong.
    Sorry if your feelings was hurt for me pointing that out and backing it up with evidence.

    Mitts problem with gays was and always is going to be a reoccurring factor.

    The fact that during Obama's time already the economy has increased in betterment - only the PR spinners and the blind will say different - says that if the topic at any time is about the economy, then already Obama has the upper hand in a lot of related cases.

    I love how some people try to make it out like gay rights isnt an important enough issue for the PotUS to address..

    lets look at it this way. 1 out of every 25 Americans is Gay. that's a lot of people having their human rights denied.

    What facts are in that piece you posted? There's a couple of opinions but I will bet (you can decide the stake) that Obama's proportion of votes among blacks will remain above 90%. They're the only evangelicals who would have been voting for him in the first place.

    Unemployment is where it was when he came in and the deficit continues to grow. It's not all a bed of roses. People are often just happy to hear what they want to hear.

    Where in the name of **** did you get the idea that I'm saying it's not important. It's the "OMG he's amazing!" reaction to something that wasn't the brave move that elements of the media are trying to portray it as that I'm challenging.

    They have an effective unemployment of 8.6% (4% and 6% is considered nominal). besides, the President is not a dictator and has little or no effect on the unemployment numbers. contrary to popular opinion.

    Where it was when he came in. Or are you arguing something else?

    Unfortunately popular opinion plays a bit of a role in elections.
