Mr Obama, I Salute You.

I might be an Australian but my admiration and support for President Obama goes beyond the respect i have for my own head of Government here in my own country, when he was first sworn into office i new we would see big things come from him and he didn't disappoint by announcing his support for #Marriage Equality, it was a very brave and bold move but a very strong one to say the least.

Mr Obama says:

"I want everyone treated fairly in this country. We have never gone wrong when we've extended rights and responsibilities to everybody," he said, "That doesn't weaken families, that strengthens families."

"It's been said this election is going to be about values. I absolutely agree. It's about the economic values we have, about the values I believe will make America so special: Everybody gets a fair shot, everybody gets a fair share, everybody plays by the same set of rules,"

Now you would think our Prime Minister here in Australia would show her support for #Marriage Equality after seeing the very positive and powerful stance Mr Obama took but NO, she would rather support WAR not LOVE and carry on being non supportive and very demanding in her decision to not back #Marriage Equality and this is what she had to say when asked

"I've made my position clear and that's the position I'll take into the parliament," Julia Gillard said.

Only time will tell if she will one day come around and bring Australia forward and not behind the rest of the world.
