Obama had to come out in support of gay marriage cuz he was going to Hollywood for some cash and the handle was going to be low as well as the take.

The announcement that he was for gay marriage was for fundraising purposes. He thinks he has more of a chance being for gay marriage with the CA$H! that comes from that...than if he didn’t get the cash.

How’s that gay marriage thingy working out for you, Mr. President?

Obama Learns What Happens When You Ignore Voters

Get ready for Obama to play the race card again and maybe even the race/gay combination card.

Ignore the polls right now, especially these tracking ones. They are all over the place. This time next week Obama will be at 50% and Romney @ 45%

[hinckley buzzard]

Romney reaches the 50% mark against an incumbent? Not possible. I have it on good authority right here on FR that Romney doesn't have a chance. Must be some mistake.

[tsowellfan]

Romney 50%, Obama 43%

That’s the worst I can remember for a sitting President.

Well it looks like some backlash has started.

What we need to figure out is what kind of backlash.

I think there are two.

1) Those who believe marriage should be between a man and a woman only. (Romney covered for that by also claiming he also shares this belief)

2) Those who feel Obama is out of touch with the more important issues: The Economy / Jobs / Gas prices

Hopefully Romney will quickly state his stance on gay marriage, get back to the important issues and let Obama continue to define himself and his priorities to the American voters.
