Obama's public stance is probably the right one, for sake of political strategy - everyone that really cares (in the sense of wanting legal gay marriage) would choose Obama over most of the Republicans; even Huntsman if it came down to it. Young voters are inherently unreliable. But the old baby boomers will vote and Obama has to keep pretending to be on the same page as them.
Of course this strategy is going backfire when it comes to the debt - where he's now accepted the right's rhetoric over the "family budget" of the nation. Which is just unspeakably disappointing to me. Now that he's shown willingness to cut SS and medicare, he has no high ground - that was the wedge issue that the Obama needed. Not gay marriage.
