Values: The president’s coming out in favor of gay marriage shows he’s to the left of most black Americans — and willing to throw his most loyal backers under the gay pride float.
Under pressure to assuage the gay lobby and young voters ahead of November,Obama on Wednesday told ABC News “it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.”

By finally taking the controversial stance,which won’t go over well in the black community,he’s clearly counting on African-American voters remaining loyal to him this election out of racial pride and a habit of voting Democrat.

But he may have miscalculated.

Gay marriage is highly unpopular among black voters — and he’ll need every one of them to beat presumptive GOP foe Mitt Romney.
