So Obama admitted he was a <a href="http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/president-obama-affirms-his-support-for-same-sex-marriage.html">pro-gay marriage supporter</a>. Is anyone actually surprised? I certainly was not, though this will be a battle of the bases. The Democrats are worried that support among blacks will weaken because of Obama's &quot;coming out of the close&quot; for this issue (I couldn't resist), which is valid, but I don't think it will matter much. The other demographics that Democrats are concered about - white women, Hispanic midgets, Eskimo fire eaters, etc - have known all along that he swung that way. (OK, sorry again.)<br />
<br />
But now we know that he has definitely secured the vital Haight-Asbury consituent. Congratulations, Barack - well done.<br />
