A new poll discussed in today’s New York Times finds that 67% of the respondents believe that Obama favored same-sex marriage for political reasons. Only 24% thought he did it because it was the right thing to do.
A follow-up question found that 16% thought Obama’s position would make them more likely to vote for him, but 26% thought they would be less likely to vote for him.
Do you see an inconsistency? People thought Obama made his announcement for political reasons, but it made them less likely to vote for him. If a candidate does something for “political reasons,” shouldn’t that make voters more likely to vote for that candidate?
I know why he did it. Because it was the right thing to do. What a contrast to that weasel Romney, pandering as usual.
Of course, I agree--Obama did it because he thought it was the right thing to do...
