we shall see how this goes throughout the rest of the campaign…I have a feeling Obama will back peddle a little once the debates between him and Romney begin and “revise” his opinion on gay marriage.
He is taking a risk here, sure, he’ll gain the support of people who are for gay marriage, but he may also lose those swing voters who would maybe consider voting for Obama, but don’t support gay marriage. Some people think Obama has it in the bag, that he will have no problem getting re-elected, but I am not so sure of that. A lot of people who used to be big supporters of Obama have become jaded, and may no longer vote for him, they might vote for Romney instead, or not vote at all.
Again this is me being Ms. Pessimistic, I just don’t think it’s time to start shouting “kaloo-kalay the LGBT community is finally going to get equal rights!!!”
Glad he said, hopefully it also means something.
