Untitled

This article was just created, but it was budded off from Political positions of Barack Obama. The long-standing consensus is that the article should only outline policies and stated positions, not editorial positions or reactions (for or against) those policies. --Loonymonkey (talk) 20:57, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting Don't ask, don't tell content

The DADT page has grown too large, and I'm looking to split content off to other articles. I see this one was split off but is already too large for me try to dump in all the Obama content from the DADT page. Would anyone have a better suggestion or even like to help?

Reference broken

The first reference under the section LGBT issues, in reverence to Obama stating that he does not think homosexuality is immoral leads to a page or article that has been deleted or moved. Equivamp, Person Who Is Correct^(talk) 18:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Marriage/Same-sex marriage

Has Obama actually stated that he favors "gay marriage" as opposed to favoring "same-sex marriage"? I think saying that he favors "gay marriage" is inaccurate, as technically within same-sex marriage 2 straight people of the same gender could get married. I'm not sure he's said the phrase "gay marriage." -- Erroneuz1 (talk) 21:29, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Gun Policy

The article twice mentions Obama's desire to establish a "national law outlawing the practice" of concealed weapons. However, the citations to not mention any such statements by Obama. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.53.34.64 (talk) 05:19, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
