And the statement is, after all, not different from the statements he has long had posted on his website. But surely it does count as an (unspoken) "qualification" that in all his calls for full legal recognition he never mentions marriage. I'm not blaming Obama for avoiding the word. I would rather he finesse this issue and get elected than use the word and lose in November. But I still think you're giving him more credit for boldness than he deserves.Rick Hoyt-McDanielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466114281907605221noreply@blogger.com
