Obama's obligations, as a Christian and elected official
"And I was reminded that it is my obligation, not only as an elected official in a pluralistic society but also as a Christian, to remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided, just as I cannot claim infallibility in my support of abortion rights."

Barack Obama

3. Obama is going to open a can of worms by referring to himself as a Christian
He's playing right in the GOP's hands

6. He had to after the Muslim slanders.
And the GOP is not a factor here, nor will it be in November.

7. So that means he may change his mind and come out in favor of gay marriage
Sounds good to me.
