Obama diverting talk from economy

Something bothers me with the United States President’s approval of gay marriage as being legitimate as straight couples’ and at the same time diverting attention from the real issues that plunder this country as incurable diseases.

His acknowledgment of gay marriage is unfortunately a “red herring” to make big headlines and his campaign main theme and, unfortunately, to divert attention from real big issues where economy is No. 1.

So, economy and other burning problems in this country are now put at the back burner, and gay marriage became the most important issue in this country at this time where millions of people are losing homes and jobs every year.

Congratulations to such a brave President and his prioritized agenda.
