POLITICS: Obama on Gay Marriage... Campaign Scheme or True Feelings?

I'm looking for your thoughts on this.

Pres. Obama and Robin Roberts- www.csmonitor.com

We will all have our own opinions at the end of the day, but I wonder if the charismatic charm of the POTUS is going to gain him votes this time around. ENTER... gay marriage conversation. True indeed the President has all right to feel how he feels and say what he wants, but I always suspect the timing when it comes to bombshell topics such as this one. He supports it... cool. Was he supporting it 4 years ago as well? Not sure, but if he was... we surely didn't know about it and I think most probably would not have voted had he come out and said that during his previous campaign for the Pres. According to CNN: Obama once opposed such marriages. He later indicated his views were "evolving."

 "I had hesitated on gay marriage, in part, because I thought civil unions would be sufficient," the president said. "I was sensitive to the fact that -- for a lot of people -- that the word marriage is something that provokes very powerful traditions and religious beliefs." But, Obama said, his thinking shifted as he witnessed committed same-sex marriages and thought about U.S. service personnel who were "not able to commit themselves in a marriage."

Congratulations to President Obama for "opening his eyes" on this which puts him directly opposite Mitt Romney on this stance. Mitt believes it is a union only for a man and woman. What will the polls decide?
