You see, I’ve been watching the kerfuffle over Obama and gay marriage since Biden’s statement on Sunday, and what appeared to be a full on weasel by Obama, or at least his Press Secretary Jay Carney, from which I inferred that the President would give the weasel answer.
I had been drafting my scathing response to this in my head for days, so when he actually made a clear and unambiguous statement I was surprised.
But my first reaction wasn’t surprise. My first thought was, “Son of a bitch! I have to rewrite now!”
At least I had the basic level of self awareness to be ashamed.
He stopped weasling when he figured out that it wouldn't cost him.
I'm not saying that your thesis is wrong, but my initial reaction was self absorbed on a level that rivals Newt Gingrich on a good day.
