Last edited Tue Sep 4, 2012, 11:55 PM USA/ET - Edit history (11) This was total stagecraft; Biden was merely the opening act. After the hostile reception to Obama's mealy-mouthed "evolution" remarks, he knew he couldn't stay on the "in my own way, on my own terms" path any longer. He also knew that the NC amendment would probably pass. So Biden, then he, strategically "sandwiched" their affirmations around the vote, winning the love of LBGTs and progressives in time to get re-elected -- and absolving themselves from actually DOING anything more.

24. Good point and there are questions...
|
Did David Gregory get the question beforehand? Why did Mark Halperin "spring" the question on Arne Duncan the next day on Morning Joe? (He clumsily introduced the question -- drew a gasp from Mika.) Why were they there, anyway?
And Obama escapes any responsibility in the NC vote, but "comes out" in time for the Hollywood dinner.  Coincidence?
