Black Church Leaders Voice Strong Opposition To Gay Marriage...I think this may be another of those situations in which Obama's ideology led him to misread public opinion.

As far as black church leaders go, I saw this coming a mile away. When California voted in 2008 blacks came out in large numbers to support Obama and at the same time vote against gay marriage.
