Barack Obama’s bombshell announcement last week, endorsing same-sex marriage, illustrated one major difference between him and his inevitable Republican opponent, Mitt Romney. Obama will fearlessly confront a political issue. No doubt , his recently stated position will not sit well with some of his supporters, and he’ll continue to have to talk about this for months on the trail when what he really wants to talk about is the economy. Romney has already called him a “flip-flopper”, based on an Illinois Senate debate in 2004 when Obama said he did not support gay marriage. Of course, that’s ignoring the fact that since before he was even President he acknowledged that his views on the subject were “evolving”. This brings me to my point, Romney is not a fearless politician, and for him to accuse Obama of evasion or hypocrisy is a grievous case of the pot calling the kettle black.
