Obama’s Recent Announcement Shows How Panic Leads To Mistakes

Panic leads to mistakes.

Barack Obama’s announcement of support for gay “marriage” was not the result of a “heartfelt” search for “what is right for America.” It was the result of full blown panic and a search for what is best for Barack Obama that will be devastating in November.  The huge 61/39 landslide loss gay “marriage” took in North Carolina apparently set off a panic in Obama’s camp that “demanded” action.

This brought about Obama’s tense “declaration” of support for Gay “marriage,” something that directly contradicts what he said about the issue in 2008.

More than this, it has made raising enthusiasm to vote among African Americans harder by a wide margin. For Obama, the low energy level among his natural base was troublesome until 3 PM Wednesday. Three minutes later, that “troublesome” problem exploded into a raging fire that will require time and energy to put out – time and energy he must spend elsewhere if he is to win.
