Obama has been 100% consistent. He does not support marriage equality. He does not believe in equality for same sex couples. He quickly fired his minister of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church supports same-sex marriage, and replaced him with Rick Warren, who lobbies for the death penalty for homosexual activity.

It would be tricky for a Republican to try to use the argument that the Democratic party is to “soft on gays” as a wedge issue in the next election, but they’d probably still try.
