Getting closer to November!

I know, it's been a very long time since I've posted anything on this blog. But let's be honest... has the election really been that exciting so far? Let's recap what's happened. Santorum dropped out.Gingrich dropped out. Paul I think is still hanging in there but won't be the Republican nomination. Which means Romney is left standing. Which also proves that you can buy an election. I mean really, does anyone really like Romney? He's really not the GOP's first choice. But there's no one else. And so the next question is who will be his running mate? I'm not sure anyone really wants the job... So here we are until the Republican convention this summer.

President Obama has already started his campaigning as well for the election. And while there hasn't been too much to say in this area, there was one major event that just happened recently that needs to be discussed.

President Obama came out in full support of same-sex marriages!!!

This is huge!! There was some talk about why this was such a huge deal though. Yes, it is true that Obama did have some support in the area before, but he was more in support of the idea of civil unions. The statement he gave recently stated, "I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."

The reason, I believe, that this is so big is because this kind of support has never come from such a high office, like the President's. And since his announcement of support, many other powerful political figures have also expressed their support for this issue.

Let's hope this is a huge step in the right direction for equal rights for all! Thank you, Mr. President.
