NY Times Editorial: Gay Marriage: Where’s Mr. Obama?

The New York Times editorial page is miffed at Obama's failure to stand for "one of the last great civil-rights debates in this nation’s history," or pretty well anything:

On Thursday night, when same-sex marriage in New York State was teetering on a razor’s edge, President Obama had a perfect opportunity to show the results of his supposed evolution on gay marriage.

Unfortunately, he did not take it, keeping his own views in the shadows. The next night the Republican-led New York State Senate, of all places, proved itself more forward-thinking than the president on one of the last great civil-rights debates in this nation’s history.
