Joe Biden just might go down in history as the guy who forced Barack Obama to publicly announce his private support for gay marriage.
But the vice president is no hero in the West Wing, and administration officials are struggling to cast Obama’s truly historic — and risky — announcement as something more than an election-year shotgun wedding.
Did Biden Really Know ahead of time and simply "Let the Cat out of the Bag" ?
Senior administration officials admit that Biden’s comment was, indeed, the catalyst for Obama to make his historic announcement weeks earlier than planned.

Headline:
President Obama Endorses Same-Sex Marriage
Reason:
To score more votes,for his reelection.
Real question: Why didn't he say this 4 years ago?
All the bigot homophobe, Christians are gonna be mobilized by this.

Charles Krauthammer made an interesting point.
(I'll try to find a source)
*paraphrasing*
Obama once again has shown himself to be less of a leader and has demonized a portion of the country who doesn't believe in same-sex marriage.
He's shown himself to be a divider, not a uniter.
Rich v poor.
Black v white
Pro gay marrage v anti gay marriage
States have the right to be as obtuse as they want. No ammount of federal law can stop it, unless it fits into a larger agenda.
State immigration law was brought up but I didn't see where sactuary cities fit in with that.

So you're calling the gay community idiots for being single issue voters?
I guess gay folks don't buy gas, have jobs or use the "dollar".

Same Sex is a poison pill for him, it took nuts to do something that will inflame
the swing states he is depending on in Nov.
It takes character to stand up and go against the grain.

I would have agreed if he hadn't have said it AFTER his veep did.
Again, just further division.
It's a single issue. And a "meh" one at that.

I think any gay Republican is an idiot, yes... But to be fair I think most Republicans are idiots.
And I doubt Gay people are stupid enough to believe that Obama is in charge of Gas prices
either.

He didn't have to say it at all, did he?
HE could of dodged it without breaking a sweat, I was hoping that he would of
let it be.

It’s official now. Barack Obama’s ratings are “historically polarized,” according to a new Gallup survey.

Just goes to show that Obama is a follower, not a leader.

So that is a gay hating bigoted comment the double whammy.
Why is someone going to vote for a party that is full of people who want to keep them second class?
