I just want to get this straight. Everyone knew Obama supported gay marriage, but didn't say so when campaigning for president in 2008 and 2012 for political reasons.

Oh, sure it's not as important as the future of mankind, or the debt cliff Obama is driving us off. But since Democrats are in full Seimus on the Roof mode, why not point out: or  or More at HotAir, Daily Caller, Twitchy. Update:  It has come to this: ...

Not taking responsibility (h/t reader Tony): More about Arby's here. If you are on Twitter, you can reach Arby's at @arbys, or at its Facebook page, or at its Contact page. There's probably not much we can do to prevent cowardly companies from giving into boycott threats, except to...
