31. If it's political calculation, then he's terrible at math.
He won't win over any of the "Jebus-lovers" until he adopts their platform. Republicans will run a Huckabee or a Palin and every fundie will do what they've done for over 25 years now: vote Republican.

LGBT people and their families, however, might just decide to withhold donations and not volunteer the next cycle.

I don't think Obama can afford to keep burning bridges in hopes of winning over the Right. Clinton made the same mistake and look at how his second term went. Give the Right an inch and they'll take a mile.
