From the Mistress of Snark once again:
I was going to make some comment about what a master stroke of electioneering it was for Obama to use his bully pulpit to get the GOP to pull its teeth out of his economic Achilles’ heel and go chasing off after the gay marriage issue, but then I realized it didn’t really take any kind of political genius at all. I mean, if you know the dog’s gonna chase the stick, you don’t have to be Machiavelli to throw it in front of the bus.
