From the archives: Barack Obama on Supreme Court decision to overturn same-sex marriage bans in 2015

On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states through its 5–4 landmark decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. "When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free," former President Barack Obama said of the historic ruling at the time. Watch his full speech from the White House that day.

Why overturn such a great joke as two men getting married?

Why are we hearing from this guy
Don't care

No matter how you feel about same-sex marriage, you should agree that all states should agree one way of the other. How can you be married in Nevada but not in Texas? This ruling is a victory for America.

How wonderful it is to see and hear President Barak Obama again. Thank you sharing this video, CBS News. Even thought the speech was 8 years ago, his words are still so relevant today.

Destruction of Obama;

U.S. military forces have been at war for all eight years of Obama’s tenure, the first two-term president with that distinction. He launched airstrikes or military raids in at least seven countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

The truth is, a careful review of Obama’s major human rights decisions shows a mixed record. In fact, he has often treated human rights as a secondary interest — nice to support when the cost was not too high, but nothing like a top priority he championed.

Afghan War
Americans killed 2, 300
Americans wounded 21, 000
Around a million Afghan people dead.
Forcibly displaced at least 17 million Afghan people.

Iraq War
Americans killed 4, 500
United States spent a total of over 819 billion US tax payers dollars on war costs in Iraq.
Civilians killed 120, 000
Around 5million made refugees

Syrian war
Half a million dead
6 million people made homeless refugees
Total economy of the country and the livelihoods of 17 million people destroyed and made refugees

Libya
Killed 25, 000
Millions of lives destroyed
Economic collapse, power vacuum created created warlords with no proper solution and stability to date

Yemen
Killed 90, 000

Pakistan
Killed 66, 000


Obama administration provided strong support for civil society, media freedom, and LGBT rights in Africa. However, in reality authoritarian rulers/ warlords gained a greater foothold on the continent.

Obama administration walked back the long-standing U.S. tendency to Lionize President Paul Kagame despite his record of serious abuses. However, the administration largely maintained its blind spot for mounting abuses by Ethiopia.

With respect to China, the Obama administration sought cooperation on North Korea, climate change, trade, and other issues but was unwilling to apply sustained pressure of any significant measures on Beijing’s disastrous rights record.

Obama(DON'T)care.
His vaunted health-care exchanges violated every sound principle of economic theory. The benefit packages that were mandated were far more exhaustive than those supplied under any private plan.

Obama never really warmed to human rights as a genuine priority but a propeganda for mainstream media.
