Bush is not fundamentally that much different from Obama, unfortunately.

He made several executive orders almost as soon as he took office to reverse some that Bush had made. That was good with me because I didn't like the ones that Bush had made. Obviously, if you don't agree with his basic philosophies, you're not going to like the President, no matter who he is.

Well that's good. I don't like executive orders period.

I understand, but my problem is the means, not the end.
The problem stands that the government is even involved in the institution of marriage. Why does the government even have a role in it?
