Once upon a time, Justice(?) Harry Blackmun thought that opposition to Roe v Wade would be short lived, petering out within 5 years after the decision. It obviously did not. Did Blackmun, likewise not understand America?

Obviously he did not. But more to your inference, Obama does not fundamentally understand America. Blackmun was a leftist who did not understand the deep moral code of many Americans. As a Liberal, as is quite common among liberals, Blackmun seemed certain he knew what was best for everyone else.
No, Blackmun did not.
There’s been a lot of speculation that the current Supreme Court is going to try to figure out a way to avoid making a real decision on the Gay Marriage cases precisely because of the long term damage done by ramming Roe v Wade down the nation’s throat.
The belief is to allow the issue to develop through the states, rather than through Federal judicial edict.
