May 12, 2012

The media has been abuzz for the last few days over President Obama's personal endorsement of gay marriage. Ellen DeGeneres praised the President, calling him brave.

Really, Ellen? He's brave for stating an opinion we've known that he holds for years? He's brave for stating said opinion when he already stated that opinion as an Illinois Senator and then proceeded to walk it back when he thought it would help him win the Presidency? He's brave for holding an opinion personally that he admits he won't get dirty fighting for politically? That's not bravery. That's political expediency.

Thanks for reminding us why entertainers should stick to entertaining and leave politics alone.
