The President did what he did, and said what he said based on his own core values.

He believes what he said today, and that is why he said that.

Do you really believe that this was someone else's position? That he just listened to the right advisor? For what purpose would he do such a bold thing if was not a deeply held principle?

Your comment made no sense to me either.

Well, it would be naive to think that he is operating in a political vacuum.

The President is right on this one...that's what counts. And he is demonstrating true leadership that is in accordance with the most far-seeing and principled forces within his party.

Thank you Ohio. I thought that comment was like that of a typical smug liberal - Dubya can't make a decision by himself.
