As Twitchy reported, yesterday, President Cool Dude took some time out of his busy day coming up with excuses not to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu to sit down with YouTube stars for a series of interviews. It was during his chat session with GloZell that the subject of gay marriage came up.

Notice anything … interesting?
Let’s go to the videotape (starts around 23:45):
So, did you catch it?
Transcript via Metro Weekly:
“I will tell you peoples’ hearts have opened up on this issue,” the president said during Thursday’s interview. “I think people know that treating folks unfairly, even if you disagree with their lifestyle choice, the fact of the matter is they’re not bothering you. Let them live their lives and under the law they should be treated equally.
“And as far as me personally, just to see all the loving gay and lesbian couples that I know who are great parents and great partners, the idea that we would not treat them like the brothers and sisters they are, that doesn’t make any sense to me.”
There’s something that doesn’t make any sense to some viewers, either:
I love you, @BarackObama. But "lifestyle choice"? Seriously? The 1980s called – they want their buzzwords back. http://t.co/ltho9ZZvrG #LGBT

UGH come on, Obama: "lifestyle choice" when talking about gays?? #???

@BarackObama Perhaps someone should inform Obama that calling homosexuality a "lifestyle choice" is ignorant and that it's not a choice.

Politically, that was a pretty major faux pas. But based on the lib media’s response, you’d never know it.
Obama calls being gay "a life-style choice" and the silence from the left wing gay media is deafening.

Guess it’s not newsworthy when Obama does it, huh?
If Bush had called homosexuality a "lifestyle choice," the mainstream news media would have gone to DEFCON infinity. http://t.co/uLvuXnLuJT
