You're having a particularly bad day for reading comprehension.

Exactly. I thought it was interesting that Cheney was distancing himself from the policy, if subtly.

I don't know if you have listened to what Laura Bush has to say on this topic, but she seems to be vehemently opposed to gay marriage. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that she has some influence on the President in regards to his admin's policy on marriage. He is, afterall, married to her.

I have listened to what Laura Bush said, and what I heard led me to conclude quite the opposite -- that she personally has less of a problem with it, but was expressing sympathy for the people who do:
- Laura Bush says gay marriages are "a very, very shocking issue" for some people, a subject that should be debated by Americans rather than settled by a Massachusetts court or the mayor of San Francisco.
Asked how she feels about the issue personally, Mrs. Bush replies: "Let's just leave it at that."

Again, so what? What is the big deal if GWB has advisors who he listens to on various policy matters?

You said that Cheney is just another advisor, and I was telling you that you were wrong. This by itself doesn't make anyone a better or worse person, except insofar as you are uninformed, but it is the sort of thing that is of interest to people who are interested in how the country works. YMMV.

It is because of all the posts of yours I have read in the last few years.

Maybe it's been a bad few years of reading comprehension for you.
