I Could Never Be A Politician. But As Uncomfortable As I Would Be Doing So, I Have No Problem With Obama's Long-planned 'change Of Heart.' This Dude's Made Huge, Measurable Strides For Gay Rights, And If Being Coy About His Plans For Gay Marriage For A Few Years Was Needed To Get Him Elected, Then So Be It. Lgbt Persons Will Be Better Off, And Federal Same-sex Marriage Recognition Will Come Sooner Because Of It.

I'm No Longer Just A Candidate. I'm The President. I Know What It Means To Send Young Americans Into Battle, For I Have Held In My Arms The Mothers And Fathers Of Those Who Didn't Return. I've Shared The Pain Of Families Who've Lost Their Homes, And The Frustration Of Workers Who've Lost Their Jobs.

Now, At Times This Issue Has Tended To Degenerate Into An 'either-or' Type Of Debate. Either We Protect Our People From Terror Or We Protect Our Most Cherished Principles. But That Is A False Choice. It Asks Too Little Of Us And Assumes Too Little About America.

When Your Team Loses, Everybody Gets Deflated. And It's Hard, And It's Challenging.
