The MSM couldn't wait to praise the "evolution" of Obama's stance on gay marriage. There is even a ridiculous thread by the biggest political hack on RIU on the subject.
But, just 24 hours or so later, the MSM (especially the NY Times) and the advocates of gay rights are realizing Obama's position doesn't actually help them. He CLEARLY stated it should be decided on a state by state basis. Which is exactly the position of most conservatives. A crushing blow to those that want to approach the debate with a "fundamental rights" or "equal protection" argument.
He is a Constitutional scholar after all. And as we've been told so many times over the last three years on this forum, how "he knows best" and "he knows more than all of us combined" in regards to the Constitution, he MUST be correct.
This is one of the few times I find myself agreeing with the Prez, I support gay marriage, voted in favor of it, but I also believe it's up to the electorate to make the decision to redefine marriage. Apparently, that makes me a bigot and a scumbag, but it makes Obama a hero for espousing the exact same position.
