THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR JOHN MCCAIN, WE’D HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO MADE SYMPATHETIC NOISES ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE BUT DID NOTHING — AND THEY WERE RIGHT! Weak: Obama punts on gay marriage at NY LGBT fundraiser. Plus this: “You owe it to yourself to watch these two clips, not because you’ll learn anything but because you’ll be watching a B.S. artist at the very top of his game. Check out how close he gets to endorsing gay marriage without ever quite endorsing it. All the rhetoric about equality and discrimination and progress and change that would have seemed impossible a few years ago sounds like a prelude to the big announcement — but he never quite arrives there.”
