The Obama campaign has been receiving a great outpouring of support, according to Buzzfeed:
After three years of political compromise on issues from health care reform to spending cuts, Obama delivered a surprise gift to what many of his core supporters view as the civil rights issue of the day, simply by saying what everyone assumed he believed. But the distinction between implying a change and saying it outright will more than symbolic in the crucial area of campaign fundraising. Already, gay donors, mostly men, reportedly constitute 1 in 6 of Obama’s top fundraisers known as bundlers. And in the first 90 minutes after the news broke Wednesday, the campaign received $1 million in spontaneous contributions, a Democrat told BuzzFeed.
Yeah, it’s pretty impressive to hear him say something that we already know he already supported in the 1990s but backed down from to help his political career. Apparently it’s now a good moment for him to change his rhetoric again. And he hasn’t said he’s actually going to do anything concrete about what he’s saying. Awesome, I’m gonna go get my checkbook!
