I'm surprised he didn't wait until after the election. It's a pretty stupid move as far as getting reelected goes. I'm not really for or against gay marriage, although I mgiht lean toward being for it because I'm a libertarian and I don't think government should be telling us what is moral or immoral, especially if they invoke religion, which a lot of anti gay marriage people do. But the reason I say it's stupid as far as getting reelected goes is because he pretty much has all the gay votes already. Anyone who wants gay so much that they're willing to change their vote based on the issue is already voting for Obama. Mitt Romney is clearly anit same sex marriage. Obama might lose the votes of the homophobes though. In short, he has little to gain and a lot to lose for doing this before he's reelected. While the timing is stupid, it does show that he has guts.
