President Obama came out today in support of same sex marriage. At least this is what I am seeing all over facebook & twitter. I admit I have not yet watch the video clip or read the news blurbs. But I tend to believe it since it has been posted by numerous people I trust.
A great number of my friends are excited about this, and I would say with good reason. But at the same time I must ask what underlying motive might be behind this? Now whether you think gay marriage is ok or not, and whether you like Obama or not, we must remember he is a politician. A smooth-talking, straight-from-Chicago politician who knows exactly how to play the political game. He also knows there is an election in 6 months, and today he pretty much sewed up the gay community vote.
So did he come out now, six months before the election, because he just now decided gay marriages were ok, or did he make this declaration just to get votes, knowing that no matter what he thinks, the decision still rests with each state, and so he will never have to face a national test on the issue.
I don't know the answer, it's just something to think about.
