The big, initial takeaway was that Obama said he "think[s] that the laws that have been passed there are wrong and should be overturned."

Got it, and that's in fitting with what one would expect from the Obama administration and the president given past statements.

But, I'd like to look at the other part — the bulk of the statement — which is in response to the UK travel warning about the laws.

It seems to me that Obama went beyond what he can actually guarantee there—and by quite a bit. How can he say this?pic.twitter.com/y40P9mqAMJ

I mean, presumably the statement is directed to LGBT people in the UK, as that was the point of the travel advisory. How can Obama say that?

Does he think the North Carolina restroom law isn't a real law? Or what? Like, I get the sentiment. But, he's the president.

@jayhawkjack Also: You keep using "safe," but that's not what O said. He said "extraordinary hospitality," "everybody will be treated well."1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
@jayhawkjack And, if you think that the NC restroom provision of the law is treating everybody well, then you've not read the law.
