Sorry, but I was jumping in and out of fantasy (baseball) last night, so the reality part comes up somewhat lacking.
In fact, Obama has not “evolved”—he has changed his position whenever his political fortunes required him to do so. Running for the Illinois state senate from a trendy area of Chicago in 1996, he was for gay marriage. “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages,” he wrote in answer to a questionnaire back then. In 2004, he was running for the U.S. Senate and needed to appeal to voters statewide. So he evolved, and favored civil unions but opposed homosexual “marriage.” In 2008, running for president, he said, “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.” Now in 2012, facing a tough reelection campaign where he needs energized supporters of gay “marriage” and has disappointed them with his refusal to give them his support, he is for it. To paraphrase John Kerry, he was for it before he was against it before he was for it again.
So, he was for it before he was dead-set against it. But now he's definately for it all over again because the coming landslide election loss needs to be staved off at any and all costs.
As the months pass and the internal polling numbers grow worse and worse, this pretender to the throne will bankrupt us to save his anorexic ass.
Bye, bye Barry. Please don't take all of us with you.
Buh-bye
