President Barack Obama's critics have a point in criticizing his handling of the gay marriage issue as evasive, politically devious and lacking in principle. I hate to say it, but it's bad enough to qualify as Lincolnesque.

Abraham Lincoln is remembered today for freeing the slaves. But he didn't start out with that policy, and he didn't get there quickly. He reached his ultimate position only by slowly and painfully "evolving" — while blacks waited and suffered in bondage.


Yeah, President Obama's "evolving" is just exactly like what President Lincoln went through.

The very existence of the country he is leading is tied to the issue he is "evolving" on.
