And this guy is a pastor?
Via Beltway Confidential:
Emmett Burns, a black pastor and Democratic member of the Maryland state legislature who opposes President Obama’s gay marriage position, will vote for Obama anyway because he opposes Romney’s free market economic agenda.
“The free market is good for the top,” Burns told National Review, “but not for the middle.” Accordingly, he has decided to vote for President Obama, despite saying last week that he would not vote for him given the president’s support for gay marriage.
Obama has both praised and criticized the free market. “We believe the free market is one of the greatest force for progress in human history,” he said at a campaign rally this month. “But we also believe that at its best, the free market has never been a license to take whatever you want, however you can get it,” he added.
