Can a gay person get an Obamacake in Colorado?

Only if you get a abortion after.

It's being taken out of context. The actual quote (with the original report question) was:

Reporter: Mr President, do you have any intention of asking Eric Holder to resign over the Frosted and Furious or illegally tapping the AP's Whoopie Pies?
Obama: That's.... that's ridiculous. Uh... I uh.... I think we can all uh.. agree that cake is delicious... uh... in uh.... moderation, right Michelle? *practiced laugh* But uh... you see the uh... that cake.... you didn't bake that! Yeah... you didn't bake that uh... that cake alone. It took a farmer to grow the uh... the stuff inside the cake. raise the uh... eggs and uh... grow the butter. It took uh... *scratches nostril* it took people... people to turn on machines that uh... packaged the cake mix. It took people to uh... to build your oven, but don't tell them 'cause I told them they didn't build that, too. *awkward audience laughter*
My predecessor, he left... he... I inherited a fruitcake and I... uh... we passed the uh... the Making Cake Pay act that uh... we funded fork-ready cakes, you know. The American people... they deserve better. They deserve tiramisu uh... but too often they... well they get stuck with day old angel food cake and uh... and a runny tub of Cool Whip. *confused but wild applause* We're gonna make sure that Wallstreet knows the new rules. They gotta give the people a slice. Ok?
Reporter: Sir, what about Eric Holder?
Obama: Instead of askin' me questions, let the American people eat their cake. Listen. this is the most transparent icing in presidential history. You can see right through it.
Reporter: Sir, you're icing the cake with water mixed with a small amount of sugar.
Obama: You're a racist. Next question?

"If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance"

economically, the cake is a more sound, and affordable investment, than the insurance policy....

you can eat the cake, it costs WAY less, and if you don't buy it, or insurance, they will take ALL your money, and send you a bill for whatever you still "owe" past everything you have.

with the insurance, it's prohibitively expensive, you can't use it, and, it's not chocolate....

clearly, you can see obamacake™ is the way to go, AMIRITE?

and because i have to...and because nobody has..

"the cake is a lie"

....or is it?
