Epic Guest Host Michael Shure and his Power Panel — BuzzFeed’s Michael Hastings and Lucia Graves of Huffington Post — talk about whether President Obama’s pro-gay accomplishments can outweigh his reluctance to further “evolve” on the question of same-sex marriage.
“I think he actually has an opportunity here to make ultra-conservatives look like cavemen on this issue,” Graves says. “The question becomes, should he stand up for what he believes in?”
Hastings says, “He’s sort of saying, ‘Look guys and gals, read between the lines.’” Shure asks whether Obama might still come out in favor of equal marriage, and Graves responds, “I think he won’t have the guts.”
