No, he's grown to understand he needs as many votes as possible to stay in the WH.
Support for gay unions in public polls tipped to a majority in 2010.

Does it not bother people that their elected officials lie to them? I spoke to two liberal friends last night and they truly believe in their heart that Obama was against gay marriage, and that he has had an epiphany in the last year. Sad.. I have no doubt he believed in gay marriage 4 years ago he just wasnt honest abouthis when he ran for President? Hmm. Is it because he needed to be centrist to get elected?
I don't understand the flip flopper thing. Are elected officials not supposed to represent their constituents? When their constituents see issues differently, should a politicians views not change?

With all this pandering to left wingers, I'm guessing you'll get some media silence on drone attacks as his foreign policy plays to moderates and neo-con types and not to anti-war libs. Don't want to confuse the dumb-masses into thinking Obama is trying to be all things to all people.

There's a lot of info out there indicating what you say just might be true or at least dabbled in a little strange love.

Hispanics or illegals??? If you are referring to illegals he has been carving a path to citizenshp for them. They have more rights than US citizens.

So now this will get him votes? I thought he lost them because of this statement?
Which is it, gain votes or giving his presidency away?

I'll go slowly so you can understand.

Obamacorp's data analytics folks believe it will gain votes.
In reality it will lose votes.

Bad business decision by Obamacorp.

The explanation is simple.

Republicans support massive Government control of the citizens lives.

"I believe marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it’s also a sacred union." Barack Obama

But then again, Obama is known for big government so it makes sense really.

Public polls on gay unions tipped in favor of them by a majority in 2010.
What part of "majority" do you not understand ?
