The Patriot Post® · Election-Year Benefits

“A year after the Supreme Court struck down a law barring federal recognition of gay marriages, the Obama administration granted an array of new benefits Friday to same-sex couples, including those who live in states where gay marriage is against the law,” reports the Associated Press. “The new measures range from Social Security and veterans benefits to work leave for caring for sick spouses.” A quick look at the calendar reveals Election Day is just over four months away. In other words, Obama’s move is calculated for maximum political gain – rally the Democrat base in what’s promising to be a bad year for them.
