Courage
Barack Obama finally endorsed gay marriage.
The world press and political leaders, shaken by the political courage and uncompromising step, said that this is the dawn of the new historic era. Well, not everyone, but those who are worthy of attention.
My comments are as follows:
1. Obama had to gather all his glorious courage into a fist, all his qualities of a leader and to finally join Dick Cheney on this topic.
2. A spokesman for Vice President Biden announced that Obama was leading on this issue from day one. That's after Biden apologized for forcing Obama to announce his decision before Obama was ready.
3. This incredibly bold decision might cost him at least a dozen votes.
4. But this is unlikely, given that Obama has just explained that he would not insist that the party should do something about it.
Obama is now in a position where he is struggling to avoid things like the pre-election debates on the state of the economy. And he frantically throws into the furnace any topic that he can hang on to. Free condoms for women! Burned. Romney does not like dogs! Oops. Julie's Life! Mega-ups. Well ... Well ... Oh! I support gay marriage!
I think there are enough distraction topics to last for a month at most. And then what?
