Five years ago I would have thought you were being cynical. Now I realize that anything like this is so hyper analyzed that what the prez actually thinks about this issue is irrelevant. What is very relevant is how it will poll, which demographic it inspires and how that relates to his electability. Has this always been the case or was there a magical time when politicians actually had views and opinions that weren't the result of which way the wind was blowing?
