In a discussion on the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to affirm gay marriage as a constitutional right, Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough slammed President Obama for taking undeserved credit. The former Florida congressman noted: “t’s sort of mind boggling that the president’s up there in 2015 and just as early as 2012 Joe Biden got out in front of the president. And Joe Biden's low point, politically, inside the White House was when he did that. Because he became immediately persona non grata.”

Scarborough added that the Obama administration was “enraged just three years ago that Joe Biden said he supported marriage equality.” The MSNBC personality emphasized how fast the politics of this issue have changed: “[J]ust go back to the president of the United States that we saw here celebrated in 2015 scared to death in 2012 to get out front and say anything other than he opposed same-sex marriage.”

Two words: Lame. Duck.

IOW: I'll bet all those references to 2012 are to dates prior to November 6th ...

I had already made a decision that we were going to probably take this position before the election [...]

Sure you did, sure you did ... well, "probably" anyway ...
