In any event, as Bill Maher stated on his show Friday night, this is probably a smart move by Obama.  It will energize his base.  Obama was never going to win anybody from the right or far right in any scenario.  And, in fact, it appears to have worked to raise more money, and as we all know, money wins elections.
It wasn't that smart. He was forced into it. After the Biden slip, his "evolving" stance would have made him look just too ridiculous. He really had no choice then. He's be better off politically without the Biden slip and without the announcement.

I find it hard to believe that Obama would be forced into this decision by a slip-up by a notorious gaffer.  And, he has a staff of many savvy politicos.  I think it was more calculated than you think.
Fine. I don't. He was put into a corner. He would have looked worse not coming out now than what he did. If you saw the press conference after the Biden slip, before Obama came out, you would understand my point of view about this (which is the consensus now).   Historians will tell the story.

Do you really believe the most powerful man (and his huge team) in the world are so simplistically reactionary? I gave you more credit than this...
