Live and let live

If you pay attention to the news and politics, then you have probably heard that Joe Biden first made a comment about Gay Marriage and now Obama has clarified his official position somewhat.  Here is a story about it from today's internet news:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/obamas-declaration-on-gay-marriage-welcomed-by-friends-foes/2012/05/10/gIQA1p9sFU_story.html


I have to wonder if Joe Biden's comments were not part of a carefully calculated administration strategy much the way the controversy about women's birth control costs in association with Obamacare were  purposely interjected to create a predicitable reaction from the opposing party.

You have to figure that the folks that feel strongly that gay marriage should be outlawed would never have voted for Obama anyway.  Obama had kind of gone to mush as far as his liberal convictions so maybe he is trying to shore up his base a little bit.

It does seem like a chess move that did force Romney to respond.
