OH SO GAY...
Running neck-in-neck with Republican challenger Mitt Romney in the polls, president Obama is desperate to find any populist topic to exploit for his mission to be re-elected. What better subject than choosing "gay marriage" to boost his poll ratings? It took him months of pondering to let his heart or mind decide on the vexed issue.
His heart beats for his wife and daughter, hence the long-standing support for the traditional form of marriage. BUT, this is an election year, and the issue of gay marriage a welcome opportunity to make Republicans look like nasty and xenophobic Nay-sayers. Obama is a shrewd politician, and with his public endorsement for gay marriage - the first of a sitting US president - seizes the opportunity to pass himself off as a liberated, enlightened and all-embracing leader, how ever feigned the novel discovery of his conviction may be. How un-presidential, Mr President!
