From here:

Barack Obama has said that he stands by his opposition to same sex marriage but has signaled that he might change his mind in the future.

The President told a press conference on Wednesday that he struggled with his views on the subject as he has many friends and employees engaged in strong and lasting same sex unions.

‘My feelings are constantly evolving’, he told CBS News.

‘At this point, what I’ve said is that my baseline is a strong civil union that provides them the protections and the legal rights that married couples have, and I think that’s the right thing to do.

‘But I recognize that from their perspective it is not enough, and I think this is something that we’re going to continue to debate, and I personally am going to continue to wrestle with going forward.’

So, Obama’s view of same-sex marriage is based on feelings – sorry, evolving feelings. I wonder if his foreign policy is based on that, too?

Let’s hope he doesn’t find himself eyeing the nuclear button when emotionally fraught after an overly strenuous bout of wrestling with going forward.
