The first minority president doesn't believe that inequality is okay, he's only pretending to believe it is just to advance his own political career and win that 450270th electoral vote.
For someone who supposedly has such terrific political instincts, his political instincts sure suck.
Corrected. If we were talking about it being remotely that one sided he would've come out in favor of gay marriage long ago.
Voting for gay marriage would probably sink the president's campaign in Georgia, rendering him unable to compete for those electoral votes. Probably North Carolina and Virginia too, though those states are
rapidly changing. Missouri would be a tough sell too, though Obama lost the state in 2008 -- he clearly doesn't need it to win in 2012.
On the other hand, supporting gay marriage wouldn't render him unable to win Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New Mexico, or Colorado. Honestly, with national support for gay marriage on parity with opposition, and with that opposition so intensely concentrated in states that are GOP locks, it's almost amusing to consider gay marriage to be the albatross it was even ten years ago.
