Obama Continues to Hint That His Continuing Evolution on Gay Marriage Is Continuing

from New York Magazine:

Obama Continues to Hint That His Continuing Evolution on Gay Marriage Is Continuing
4/21/11 at 11:55 AM

At a fund-raising event in San Francisco, President Obama mentioned that he needed another term in office "for us to finish everything we need to do." At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted out "gay marriage!" (Oh, you, San Francisco.) According to the L.A. Times, Obama repeated "as if that person had just proved his point" that "'our work is not finished.'" Expect this dance to continue until, oh, we don't know, maybe November 7, 2012. Especially if even hints of his support of gay marriage push his GOP opponents farther to the right.

1. when it is a fait accompli, he'll get behind it 100%!

MAYBE in late january 2013. don't want to rile the "independents" (AKA the low-information voter).

2. It's like a river that can flow in both directions?

3. But does he continually hint that his continuing evolution is continuing?

And will such continuity likely continue?

Hey, it was always about how far he thought he could go politically -- and the polls are favorable to such "continuing evolution."
