What Do President Obama & Miss California Have In Common?

Both President Obama and Carrie Prejean, Miss California and the runner up in the Miss U.S.A. pageant, believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Allow me to take you back to the Saddleback Forum with Pastor Rick Warren last August:

WARREN: Define marriage.

OBAMA: I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman.

Now let's go to the Miss U.S.A. Pageant from earlier this week where gossip columnist Perez Hilton asked Prejean about gay marriage:

HILTON: Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?

PREJEAN: We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised.

Hilton later said, "She lost it because of that question. She was definitely the front-runner before that."

So let me see if I have this straight.

When Miss California tells America that marriage is between a man and a woman Perez Hilton calls her a "dumb b*@ch" and states her answer cost her the Miss U.S.A.

When Barack Obama tells America that marriage is between a man and a woman Perez Hilton is nowhere to be seen or heard.

So for Perez Hilton it is perfectly acceptable for the Democratic candidate for the White House to state marriage is between a man and a woman. But it is beyond the pale for a Miss U.S.A. pageant contestant to express the same point of view.
