Love Whomever We Choose?

     In two speeches the First Lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, mentioned that her husband's appointees to the United State Supreme Court will help protect everyone's right to "love whomever we choose." (CNSNews.com).  Now what does that mean exactly?  Who is preventing this and what legislation, current or introduced, hinders who people are involved with?  Is she referring to gay marriage?
     Barack Obama claimed he was opposed gay marriage (CNN.com), but in favor of civil unions.  That was lie.  Recently he instructed his Justice Department to not defend the Defense of Marriage Act, which banned the federal recognition of same sex marriages, in court, because it's unconstitutional (HuffingtonPost.com).  This is the only instance where a president, part of the Executive Branch, has taken it upon himself to declare something unconstitutional, a power of the Judicial Branch, and refuse to enforce it.  So why did Obama say he was against gay marriage?  To get elected.  But he has to make that clear to his base.  Hence, Michelle Obama steps in.
     This is how the left works.  They sneak in little comments that express their true beliefs.  The First Lady is telling the president's supporters that Obama isn't opposed to gay marriage.  He just needed to say that to win the presidency, because the majority of Americans are against it (Gallup.com).  In fact, she reassured them, he put people on the Supreme Court that will protect it, even if an amendment to the Constitution bans it (TheHill.com).  The left has to use backhanded, pseudo-subliminal messaging.  If they just came out and said what their true intentions and motives were, they would never be elected.  So watch out for the language the left uses.  What they say is rarely innocent rhetoric.
