Pres. Obama claimed that his administration was going to be the most transparent. Well, he's right about one thing--his motives are pretty transparent with his 'evolved' position on Gay Marriage.
The Pres. came out in support of Gay Marriage--after years of claiming he was not for it. Why now? Simple; He needs money and the LGBT groups have the money. Once again he's exploiting a hot-button, emotionally charged issue to get people to open their wallets for him, at a time when his fundraising is worrisomely down. He couldn't come out in support during the first election because Blacks and Hispanics are consistently against redefining marriage and he didn't want to alienate those voters, but now, he'll take that chance for a short while in order to fill his coffers with much needed campaign funds as well as tie those voters to him.
And using his new 'enlightened' position in the future, we can be sure he'll try and polarize voters by pointing out Mitt Romney's support of Prop 8 and his support of marriage being between a man and a woman, which in turn, will bring the LGBT group firmly under his control.
I'm just hoping it backfires on him and he'll find it may give him the money he craves, but it won't bring him the votes--which is what actually counts come November.
For once I'd like to see a politician stand for something.
