Obama Gay Marriage Position

Well, it appears the "decisive" and "bold" President has changed his "evolving" position on gay marriage.  President Obama came out on Wednesday to give his personal support for gay marriage.  The President of the United States, for the first time in history, supports marriage between two women and two men.  That is unprecedented.  But, coming from this President, nothing should be surprising these days.  Of course, Obama didn't have much choice but to come out and support gay marriage.  His vice-president, Joe Biden, forced his hand on this issue.  Joe Biden, well known for putting his foot in his mouth, came out on one of the Sunday press shows to express his unequivocal support of gay marriage.  At that moment, Obama had an issue he had to address and address quickly.  Now, Senator Barack Obama was against gay marriage.  He was against gay marriage before he was for it.  In other words, this man shifts the way the polling numbers flow.  In the end, that will cost him.  The black and hispanic vote, which is going to be his life blood in this election, will potentially turn away from him.  He knew this before making his position in support of gay marriage.  He still made this risky support position knowing full well what it could cost him. Obama may have just given the Republican Party an unexpected gift.

The odd thing about this, Obama has said gay marriage will not be a plank in the Democratic Convention.  He is still trying to have his cake and eat it too.  He wants to please everyone.  He is now pleasing very few.  Even a number of gays are pissed at him for his half-hearted attempt to support gay marriage.  Obama has even said gay marriage is a "state issue."  Yet, illegal immigration reform is NOT a state issue.  Obama and his henchmen are suing a number of states over illegal immigration.  The dictator in chief decides what is a state issue and not a state issue.  He has now opened up a can of worms with lawsuits over gay marriage in states that have approved gay marriage.  Expect all kinds of lawsuits now in those states.  Also, expect states that have been sued over illegal immigration reform to ask in court why is their case different.  Obama just stubbed his toe and doesn't realize it.  How soon before President Obama's gay marriage position "evolves" again to state gay marriage is now a federal issue rather than state issue?  Stay tuned.
