re: Is No On 1 loss due to Obama?

You never know; out in California in 2008, it ironically was the swell of Obama supporters who tipped the scales towards outlawing gay marriage. Of course, the voter demographics are a bit different in Maine *cough*.

So can we assume on 11/4/2012 he'll come out in favor of SSM? Not exactly a profile in courage, is he?.

Yes, it's cynical. And pragmatic. He's running for re-election, and has been the moment he was elected. No one's going to be elected president proudly supporting gay marriage; everyone is just going to wait until it happens so they don't have to be pilloried for it. The ends justify the means.

Holy crap, get over yourselves! You lost a political battle for chrissakes and political battles are often nasty and brutish. Try growing a pair Jeff and going back into the fray.

So he doesn't "lose votes"? He's not running for anything! That's awfully cynical of him, don't you think? How do you like your hope and change now?

No he's not. He just says that so he doesn't lose votes.

I will say it again: Barack Obama is officially opposed to same sex marriage. Why are you surprised that a majority of Americans feel the same way? And why don't you ask Barry why he feels that way?

May I point out that your Dear Leader, Barrack Obama, is officially opposed to same sex marriage? Maybe all you "questioning" folks should question him.
