2. Obama did not need to put himself in this position. |

Silence can be golden.
This is more evidence of the fact that Obama is not a seasoned campaigner. He is learning the ropes regarding national campaigns and their many, many pitfalls. A thoughtless moment can reap recrimination from one group or another. He will make more such mistakes before he learns how this works.

5. That is not what I said. |

I said "Silence is golden" meaning Obama should have been silent, i.e., not had this very noisy anti-gay spokesperson speak for Obama. It was not smart for Obama to put himself out on a limb with the anti-gay guy. Obama should have stayed silent on the issue and so should the anti-gay guy.
I'm tired and am sorry I am not very clear today.
