Kliphnote: BFD. Now his far left wing base will vote for Obama.
They were anyways.
Who cares? Not me. I don't care if you want to have a marriage with your pet rock.
I DON'T CARE! More issues to deal with.Barack Obama’s Bullshit Gay Marriage Announcement
ABC News has only released one brief clip
of Obama's conversation about gay marriage today, but it seems fairly
clear from the network's coverage that his announcement amounts to much
less than meets the eye. He now believes that gay couples should be able to marry. He doesn't believe they have a right
to do so. This is like saying that black children and white children
ought to attend the same schools, but if the people of Alabama reject
that notion—what are you gonna do?
The key language in the ABC News write-up is this:
The president stressed that this is a personal position, and that he still supports the concept of states deciding the issue on their own.
On this afternoon's special broadcast, Jake Tapper echoed that point:
"The president said he thought this was a state-by-state issue."
Gay for Pay
President Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage less
than 48 hours after the Washington Post reported that prominent
political donors were threatening to withhold donations over the
president’s position on gay rights.
W.H.: Joe Biden forced Obama’s hand on gay marriage
For President Barack Obama and his team, the decision to back
gay marriage came down to a choice between two unpalatable
alternatives: Support it and brave the backlash in battleground states
where the issue could be a liability — or keep silent and be accused by
allies of gutlessness and putting politics over principle.
Administration officials said the president planned to announce his support before the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., this September. But they acknowledge that Vice President Joe Biden did, indeed, force their hand.
