I feel the same way about Obama's long game. I don't get it then all of the sudden DADT is consigned to the dustbin of history. Dems fall over themselves to support marriage equality now - with PBO championing it in the general election. And more.
Obama dropped the gay community a hint - at least to those who were listening - during his first year of office. He said during remarks at an event (or maybe in a q&a) that the gay community would be happy about what's to come from his admin.
That turned out to be the understatement of the century. And it causes me to trust his skillful handling of the presidency.
I believe the ACA terrifies republicans for a variety of electoral reasons, the primary one being that the Act will have a profound, positive economic impact for years to come.
