I really have not heard a peep about this, although I am not surprised that they would jump to this....if being black wasn't enough to stop him from getting elected, they would have to double down with another horror. And since Obama did come out in favor or gay marriage, that would be all they needed. Although I have to say that personally, I wouldn't see what the problem would be if he was. But I get the "white male macho" thing...and that would be an explanation for why they are prone to be Republican. And I only thought it was because they all had delusions that they, too, would be wealthy one of these days.

But I am feeling a little sick over all this. Michelle is mannish? They have a loveless marriage? Good lord. I believe that the people who are believing this should be institutionalized. Tin foil hats are not enough.

BTW, I use four different fact checking sites when arguing with the right wingers, since almost every time, all of them agree. And it just makes them look ridiculous when they deny four sites. So besides Snopes and TruthOrFiction, I also go to factcheck.org and politfact.com.
