RE :”Yeah, apparently it's “courageous” for Obama to take this position 4 years into his term, while running for re-election, after gay-rights activists in his liberal base threatened to withhold donations to him if he doesn't do their bidding. ....I was arguing with a liberal friend and asked if he thought it was “courageous” when Newt Gingrich promised his voters that he'd build a base on Mars if he's elected President. “

Better one to use is ask them if it would have been brave if after the the No Child left Behind bill was signed conservatives cut off all 2004 campaign donations until GWB promised to call for the Department of Education to be closed, and GWB caved under our pressure and did in an interview.
That would have been politically risky for his re-election, would liberals have called it ‘brave’ ?? No way!
