Via Mediaite, 16 years after going on the record in support of gay marriage, The One finally decides it’s safe to reclaim his old position. (AmSpec’s James Antle tweets, “Obama may be the only person in America who supported gay marriage in 1996 but opposed it in 2011.”) His base will swoon over this, needless to say — expect the mother of all leg tingles on “Hardball” tonight — but even as someone who agrees with him, I can’t get past the pure opportunism of it. In fact, fellow gay-marriage supporter Andy Levy flags this NYT tweet in naked disgust:
Some Obama advisers were divided on decision to support same-sex marriage, but concluded his brand has been damaged enough by hedging.
TONY DIGIROLAMO- OBAMAS PRETZELED POLITICAL GYMNASTICS ON SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS A SHOW TO BEHOLD.
He was in favor of same sex marriage before he became a pol. Then he became a politician and lied to the American people.
He lied to Rick Warren of the SaddleBack Church on that despicable show, “Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency” Warren hosted. “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman,”. That was a lie, not evolution of his position.
President Obama is a liar.
