to me obama is not pandering because it is a position that may actually hurt his reelection chances not withstanding some fundraising boost from gay donors.

the evangelical crazies do not really like romney but this position by obama might get them fired up enough to energize the base in swing states.

to me, a changed position that hurts one's political chances speaks volumes more than changing one's positions on a daily basis.

obama may have made a gutsy call to go into pakistan for bin laden... but romney has even bigger balls lying about his past positions on a daily basis.
