President Obama today announced that he now supports
same-sex marriage, reversing his longstanding opposition amid growing pressure
from the Democratic base and even his own vice president.
In an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the president
described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this place,
based on conversations with his own staff members, openly gay and lesbian
service members, and conversations with his wife and own daughters.
"I have to tell you that over the course of several
years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about
members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous
relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I
think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there
fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't
Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at
a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for
me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get
married,” Obama told Roberts, in an interview to appear on ABC’s “Good Morning
America” Thursday. Excerpts of the interview will air tonight on ABC’s “World
News with Diane Sawyer.”

You know that he wanted to wait until after the election to announce that. I guess NC (and Biden) is forcing his hand.
Too many politicians think think they can legislate a behavior into an imutable trait. Remember DC is a hedonistic city that makes Las Vegas blush.
This goes with politicians trying to blame other factors/people with their own personal conduct.
Spitting in the face of G-d Almighty...unbelievable!
Will Zer0’s daughters be able to marry each other?
He just clinched the North Carolina vote.../sarc ha ha ha
Oh, please, please, please, please!!!
Their convention will be a hastily-constructed mess and they'll piss off North Carolina, taking it out of play.
Don’t forget Bo!
Satan agrees. Thanks for participating.
“think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained”
On who’s behalf are they fighting? This dude is certifiable.
What do you conjecture might happen if Romney would say his position has “evolved” and he absolutely believes marriage is between a man and a woman?
so now Romney can evolve into protecting marriage.
then it will be survival of the genes with the most offspring.
obama has two daddies.
or
Romney has grandchildren.
conversations with . . . own daughters
Reminds me more and more of Carter every day....

That may be a price he’s willing to pay (foolishly willing) in order to raise more $$$ from the pervert lobby.
He lost, or is losing, the independents. All he’s got remaining is his base.
No...even he’s not quite that stupid. I think this is about fundraising. Think about where the money is on the Democrat side.
Respectfully, I disagree. Romney actually wants to win (unlike McCain, Dole, Bush Sr), and he can read polls and the NC result.
His team has shown some good talent in the past few weeks for mocking the RATs. I'm looking forward to what they come up on his gay "marriage" bit.
Larry Sinclair agrees with your assessment LOL
