"In fact, Obama has not “evolved”—he has changed his position whenever
his political fortunes required him to do so. Running for the Illinois
state senate from a trendy area of Chicago in 1996, he was for gay
marriage. “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages,” he wrote in answer to
a questionnaire back then.
In 2004, he was running for the U.S. Senate
and needed to appeal to voters statewide. So he evolved, and favored civil unions but opposed homosexual “marriage.”
In 2008, running for president, he said,
“I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of
gay marriage.”
Now in 2012, facing a tough reelection campaign where he
needs energized supporters of gay “marriage” and has disappointed them
with his refusal to give them his support, he is for it. To paraphrase
John Kerry, he was for it before he was against it before he was for it
again."
