Oh i agree politically he had no choice. I just think his previous postion was completely spineless. Espiecally since more people are for gay marriage then agaisnt gay marriage. Been like that for years... and I mean... is he really going to lose the black protestant vote to Romney? What was his big worry? |
It wasn't about losing their votes to Romney so much as it was about depressing turnout among a group that he desperately needs. But with the media openly ragging on him and gay activists boycotting his campaign and PACs, he had to bite the bullet and revert to the pro-gay marriage position he already held back in the '90s before he conveniently changed his mind on it just in time to run for president.
Basically, he was allowed to skate with a preposterous position for three years now. If you are a craven shitbag like Obama, why change it if you don't have to?
